Fire Country and Sheriff Country in release order
Two CBS dramas set in the same small Northern California town, one about its firefighters and one about its sheriff, and since October 2025 they have gone out back to back every Friday. Ninety-eight entries from October 2022, including the first three weeks of the 2026 season.
Fire Country comes first and runs alone for three seasons, from its pilot in October 2022 to a two-hour finale in April 2025. Sheriff Country joins it on 17 October 2025, the night Fire Country's fourth season opens, and from then on the two share every Friday: Sheriff Country first, Fire Country an hour later, with the one exception of that first night, when Fire Country led. Their one cross-over so far is on 3 April 2026, The Finest and then The Bravest. Fire Country's fourth season and Sheriff Country's first both end on 22 May 2026, and both shows return on 9 October 2026 in the same order.
How to read this table
Everything is in the order it came out, oldest first. The columns:
- Air date — when the entry was first released. Where a page carries something first seen outside the United States, that is the date used, and the notes under the table say so.
- Sch — schedule order, which breaks a tie within a single day. On a night two of these went out, the earlier slot comes first - and a streaming episode that dropped after midnight comes before a programme broadcast that evening.
- Notes — click Notes ... on any row for the episode's links and, where there is one, an explanation of the cross-over.
- Watch — where you can watch that entry, in your own country. The badges link to the episode itself rather than to the service's front page. On a narrow screen this column is hidden - tap Notes ... on a row to see the same thing.
- Watched — tick a box and it is remembered in this browser. Turn syncing on in Preferences and it follows you between devices, with no account and no email address. An episode listed on more than one franchise is ticked on all of them at once.
Three icons can appear in the Notes cell, and they are the reason this site bothers with release order at all:
Story impact — this episode references another series in the franchise.
Story arc — it is part of a story running across several series.
Guest star — a character from another series appears in it.
In the Watch column, the shape of a badge is the difference between watching something now and paying for it again:
- P+ Solid — included with a subscription to that service.
- P+ Outlined — there to rent or buy.
Your country is worked out from your connection and can be changed in Preferences. It is a snapshot rather than a live check, so treat it as a strong hint rather than a promise — services add and drop things constantly.

About this order
What is on this list
Every episode of Fire Country, seventy-two over four seasons and the first three of the fifth, and every episode of Sheriff Country, twenty in its first season and the first three of its second. Episodes with a date in the future are marked as not yet aired.
That is everything there is. Neither show has made web episodes, shorts or specials, and there are no films.
Friday nights, and which show goes first
CBS has run Sheriff Country at eight and Fire Country at nine since the second week of the 2025 season, and does so again in 2026, so on a shared night Sheriff Country is first on this list. That matters most on 3 April 2026, when one story runs across both hours: it starts in Sheriff Country's The Finest and is finished in Fire Country's The Bravest. Watch one show through and then the other and you get the ending first.
The first shared night is the other way round. On 17 October 2025 CBS opened Fire Country's fourth season at eight and gave the brand new Sheriff Country pilot the nine o'clock slot behind it. The two swapped a week later and have stayed that way.
Two more nights are worth knowing about. Fire Country's third season ended with two episodes on 25 April 2025, A Change in the Wind and then I'd Do It Again, and both are on that date in that order. And Two Pink Lines, in the first season, is dated to a Sunday: CBS moved it off its Friday to follow the AFC Championship game on 29 January 2023.
Alert the Sheriff, and where Sheriff Country begins
Sheriff Mickey Fox first appears in Alert the Sheriff, the sixth episode of Fire Country's second season, in April 2024. It was made to launch her series, which CBS ordered three weeks later and held for the 2025 season. It is an episode of Fire Country and it is on this list once, in its place. She is back, with her father Wes, in Dirty Money a year later.
Neither carries a cross-over mark, because there was no second series yet to cross over with. If you are only watching Sheriff Country, Alert the Sheriff is still kept on your list as its opening chapter.
The cross-over marks
Marked from 17 October 2025 onwards: every episode where somebody from the other show is on screen. Bode is in the Sheriff Country pilot, Sharon in Firewall and Death & Taxes, Manny in Expecting Trouble. Going the other way, Wes visits the Leones in Happy First Day, Manny. The two halves of the April 2026 story carry all three marks.
One was left unmarked on purpose. CBS's own billing for Exit Interview, Sheriff Country's sixth episode, lists Manny as a guest, but no account of the episode has him in it, so it has no mark. Passing mentions that only a transcript would show may also have been missed.
Crucible, in two parts ten weeks apart
Sheriff Country's ninth and tenth episodes are Crucible, Part 1 and Crucible, Part 2. The first closed the autumn run on 19 December 2025 and the second opened the spring one on 27 February 2026. Wikipedia's table gives both the single title Crucible; CBS uses the two part titles and so does this list.
Short seasons
Fire Country's second season is ten episodes, starting in February 2024, because the 2023 writers' and actors' strikes delayed it. Its fifth is thirteen rather than twenty. Sheriff Country's second season has no announced length.
What is coming
A second cross-over is announced for 6 November 2026: Sheriff Country's No Way In, then Fire Country's No Way Out. This list follows the dates Wikipedia has confirmed, which run to 23 October, so those two are not rows yet.
Two more spin-offs have been talked about and neither is here. Surfside, built around Jared Padalecki's Camden Casey from Fire Country's third season, has been under consideration since 2024 and has never been ordered. A medical drama set in the same town was reported in April 2026, also without a series order; it is due to be introduced in an episode of Sheriff Country's second season, and that episode will be on this list as an episode of Sheriff Country.
Where the links go
Every episode links to IMDb and to its row on Wikipedia, since neither show has articles for single episodes. All but four link to the Fire Country Wiki, which covers both shows; the four are episodes later in October 2026 that have no page there yet.
