As first reported by our sister site Deadline, Gorham will appear as Travis, a lawyer and the ex-husband of Morena Baccarin’s Sheriff Mickey Fox. Travis and Mickey share a daughter named Skye, whom they’ve helped through struggles with addiction, and the pair might still have feelings for each other… but it’s complicated.
Additionally, Michele Weaver (Love Is_, Council of Dads) has been cast in the series-regular role of Cassidy, a deputy in the Edgewater County Sheriff’s Department. Cassidy was inspired by Mickey to become a sheriff, which has led her to put Mickey on a pedestal as she tries to carve out her own identity in law enforcement.
Filming in Toronto and premiering this fall, Sheriff Country stars Baccarin as straight-shooting sheriff Mickey Fox — the stepsister of Fire Country‘s Sharon Leone — who investigates criminal activity as she patrols the streets of small-town Edgewater while contending with her ex-con father (Deadwood‘s W. Earl Brown) and a mysterious incident involving her wayward daughter. (Sheriff Country is not to be confused with Fire Country: Surfside, a potential 2026-27 spinoff to be led by Jared Padalecki if his possible CBS medical drama doesn’t pan out.)
The OG Fire Country has already been renewed for Season 4.
In other CBS spinoff news, TVLine confirmed today that the Eye Network is not moving forward with potential offshoots for either The Neighborhood or The Equalizer, while the FBI/CIA team-up series is happening, with Tom Ellis (Lucifer) as a lead.
