Now, both Fire Country and Sheriff Country make up CBS’ Friday night block during the 2025-2026 TV cycle, and they’ve proven to be a good tandem. Since the shows take place in essentially the same setting, although the shows film in opposite coasts of Canada, there have already been a few character crossovers. Separately, Fire Country and Sheriff Country are also telling the different storylines, as Mickey establishes herself as the town sheriff, while Bode starts over after a couple of losses.

This week, however, both Fire Country season 4 and Sheriff Country season 1 are taking a short break. CBS didn’t share an official reason, but it’s safe to say that it has something to do with Thanksgiving week. Throughout this week, the network has preempted some of its biggest shows — some of them to pave the way for TV specials, such as the Everybody Loves Raymond’s 30th Anniversary Special, while others re-air notable episodes from its run.

For the Country franchise, it’s a mix of both. Instead of a new Sheriff Country airing at 8 PM ET, CBS is airing A PAW Patrol Christmas, which runs for an hour. It’s then followed by a rerun of a couple of Fire Country episodes — “My Team” and “Death Trap.” Interestingly, both of these episodes were released in season 3, which means that former cast members, Billy Burke and Stephanie Arcila, are going to be featured.

When New Episodes Of Fire Country & Sheriff Country Release

CBS has set the returns of Fire Country season 4 and Sheriff Country season 1 for December 5, which means that the shows are only on a one-week hiatus. Beyond that, the network has also shared pertinent details about what to expect when they come out of their brief break. Fire Country season 4, episode 7 is titled “Best Mom in the World,” which refers to the unexpected arrival of Sharon’s estranged mother, Christine Lahti’s Ruby. Elsewhere, Bode and Jake rush to help a troubled kid who called from a condemned building.

Over at Mickey’s part of the town, Sheriff Country season 1, episode 7, will see her uncovering a web of dirty secrets at Edgewater High. Titled “Glory Days,” the setting of the outing allows Mickey and Travis to share some intimate scenes. Interestingly, however, there’s no word on whether Sharon’s reunion with her mother in Fire Country leads to Ruby also crossing paths with her former stepdaughter.
