Smash hit US drama ‘Fire Country’ is finally coming to the UK we can confirm.
The show will launch on Sky Witness and NOW on Wednesday 24th January 2024, 15 months after it premiered in the US. The series stars Max Thieriot (‘SEAL Team’, ‘Bates Motel’), who also executive produces.
‘Fire Country’ tells the story of a young convict, Bode Donovan, who seeks redemption and a shortened prison sentence by joining a prison-release firefighting programme. Inspired by Thieriot’s personal experiences of growing up in wildfire-prone Northern California, the series sees Bode and other inmates partnered with elite firefighters to extinguish massive, unpredictable wildfires across the region.
The heat is turned up when Bode returns to his rural Californian hometown with the firefighting unit. Bode burned down everything in his life five years ago and left home with a big secret. Now he’s back, with the rap sheet of a criminal and the audacity to believe in a chance for redemption.
The series also stars Billy Burke (‘Twilight’), Kevin Alejandro (‘Lucifer’), Diane Farr (‘Chance’), Stephanie Arcila (‘Marriposa de Barrio’), Jordan Calloway (‘Riverdale’) and Jules Latimer (‘Rustin’).
‘Fire Country’ is produced by CBS Studios. Executive producers are Tony Phelan, Joan Rater, Tia Napolitano, Max Thieriot, Jerry Bruckheimer and KristieAnne Reed (‘Lucifer’). The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
Season 2 is set to premiere in the US in February 2024.
