The ‘Supernatural’ star is reportedly set to guest star in Season 3 —
find out who he’s playing and how he might stick around
Things on Fire Country are about to get a little bit…supernatural.
Deadline first reported and Parade can confirm that Jared Padalecki, best known for playing demon hunter Sam Winchester on the fan-favorite CW series Supernatural, will be joining Fire Country Season 3 for a three-episode guest star arc. Not only that, but there’s also a possibility Padalecki could get a spinoff of his own, joining the upcoming Sheriff Country in building out the Fire Country universe.
Padalecki will play Camden Casey, who is described as “a SoCal firefighter and maverick with a surfer swagger who is a force to be reckoned with and immediately recognizes Bode’s (Max Thieriot) raw talent.”
“We launch Camden Casey in a really dynamic way,” showrunner Tea Napolitano told TVLine on Wednesday, August 14. “We were so excited about casting Jared and he’s really going to flip the script in Edgewater.”
“Everyone in Bode’s life before Camden hits the scene is sort of trying to tame a tiger when it comes to Bode to make sure he works the program so he can get out,” Napolitano continued. about the third season’s story lines. “Camden is more Bode than anyone else on our show. I think they’re twin flames and similar and Camden’s able to encourage, draw out maybe the dangerous side of Bode, but he sees the talent and leans into it. He doesn’t try to put lightning back into the bottle.”
