Fans of Fire Country can rest assured that showrunner Tia Napolitano

has confirmed that Season 3 will pick up right where the dramatic Season 2

finale ended. One of the most popular shows on CBS, known for its extreme

storylines and emotional character arcs, comes back without any time jump on Friday, October 18, so that viewers could get immediate answers to all the burning questions left from the previous season.

“We are doing a direct pickup,” Napolitano revealed to TVLine. “So everyone’s going to get all the answers that they were itching for at the end of our Season 2 finale.” So, that means all the cliffhangers from the Season 2 finale — everybody at the edge of their seat — are picked up right off the bat, like Gabriela and Diego’s wedding. As viewers may recall, Season 2 ended with the couple standing at the altar, begging the question for all to wonder if they would truly say “I do.”

Season 3 of Fire Country is coming out to be the biggest expectation in television this year. With no time jump, the show will be picked up straight from where the storylines left off, dangling audiences in speculation this summer. The choice to push the action beyond, without taking a time jump, really helps preserve momentum and emotional stakes for the series.

One of the biggest questions going into Season 3 is whether Gabriela and Diego are going to actually get married. The season finale left fans on a cliffhanger, and Napolitano’s assurance that the season picks up directly where it left off reassures fans that they won’t have too long to wait before knowing what happens next. “It’s gonna be a rollercoaster of emotions,” Napolitano teases of the challenges and surprises in store for the characters.
