The fourth season of Fire Country debuted its final episode on May 22nd, 2026, bringing the show an unexpected happy ending - well, season ending - after what had started with the tragic death of Billy Burke's Vince. With all of that goodwill, audiences have been wondering whether the series would be returning for a fifth season. Happily, CBS has officially renewed Fire Country for Season 5, and you can expect new episodes to begin arriving in fall 2026.

Fire Country is the flagship series of the Fire Country franchise, which expanded last year to include the also-renewed spinoff Sheriff Country. Starring Max Thieriot as Bode Leone, a former inmate firefighter turned Cal Fire firefighter, Fire Country takes place in Leone's fictional hometown of Edgewater, California, which is (you guessed it) in the titular fire-prone danger zone. Fire Country also stars Kevin Alejandro as firefighter Manuel "Manny" Perez, Jordan Calloway as firefighter Jake Crawford, Jules Latimer as Captain Eve Edwards and Diane Farr as Sharon Leone. And in Fire Country Season 4, a two-part crossover episode with Sheriff Country saw the return of Morena Baccarin as Sheriff Mickey Fox.

Here's a safety tip from Fire Country:

Fire Country Season 5 will be arriving in fall 2026; CBS has confirmed already that it will be airing Fridays at 9pm Eastern and Pacific, 8pm Central. The network has yet to announce an official return date for the show, but based on historical trends, audiences should expect Fire Country Season 5 to begin in late September 2026.
