Fire Country season 5 promises to be CBS's hottest chapter of the drama yet (pun intended). Starring Max Thieriot as ex-con-turned-firefighting-hero Bode Donovan, Fire Country season 5 has been confirmed to air this fall. But exactly when will Fire Country season 5 drop? Where can you stream it, and what time do episodes come out? Popverse's guide to Fire Country season 5 is here to answer your questions.

Be aware - we're going to do our best not to give away too much of the story unnecessarily, but there are some FAQs out there that require us to spoil parts of the plot. Allow this to serve as a spoiler warning for Fire Country seasons 1-4

Fire Country season 5 FAQ #1: When does Fire Country come back on?

Fire Country season 5's release date is October 9, 2026. After Fire Country season 4 ended with the events of the Pineville Dam disaster, we expect the upcoming chapter to pick up from that fallout, as well as the [no spoilers] lovey-dovey events that concluded Fire Country season 4.

Fire Country season 5 FAQ #2: Where can I watch Fire Country?

Fire Country is streaming on Paramount+. If you want to catch episodes live as they come out, they'll also be available on CBS.

Fire Country season 5 FAQ #3: What time do Fire Country episodes come out?

Fire Country season 5 episodes come out Friday nights at 9PM EST, just like Fire Country season 4 episodes before that.

Fire Country season 5 FAQ #4: Why did Billy Burke leave Fire Country?

Billy Burke left Fire Country at the beginning of season 4, after it was revealed that his character, Chief Vince Leone, did not make it out of the massive fire that served as the cliffhanger ending of Fire Country season 3. RIP Chief Vince - you're still missed, all these years later.

Fire Country season 5 FAQ #5: Who is leaving Fire Country in 2026?

Fire Country season 5 will return with much the same cast as Fire Country season 4, as no major departures in terms of series regulars have been announced. However, as reported by Deadline, Fire Country season 4 did mark the end of the tenure of showrunner Tia Napolitano.

Fire Country season 5 and its predecessors are filmed largely in Vancouver, British Columbia, as reported by People Magazine.

Fire Country season 5 FAQ #7: Is Fire Country renewed for 2027?

Fire Country season 5 FAQ #8: How many episodes of Fire Country are there?

As of Fire Country season 4, there have been 72 episodes of the CBS drama. How many episodes of Fire Country season 5 will there be? We don't know the answer to that just yet.
