The town of Edgewater could be going. A third show set in the same universe as Fire Country and Sheriff Country could be joining the lineup. This one would be a medical drama, with Fire Country and Sheriff Country co-creators Max Thieriot, Joan Rater, and Tony Phelan and Sheriff Country showrunner Matt Lopez developing it.
When TV Insider spoke with Thieriot about Fire‘s Season 4 finale, we asked for an update.
There’s “not too much I can share yet,” he told us. “I can say that we’re actively developing it all out, and me and Joan and Tony and Matt Lopez are sort of fleshing out all the story stuff daily. But I know we’re all really excited to hopefully get to bring to life the Fire and Sheriff version of what the medical world looks like in Edgewater.”
As for whether it could include Natalie Zea‘s doctor, Camille, whom we saw in action at the rodeo and in the middle of the devastating flood in the finale, “It could,” he said. “I cannot say for sure either way.”
Lopez echoed that it’s “very early stages” when we talked about the Sheriff Country Season 1 finale, but he’s excited about seeing what a medical drama in this universe would look like.
“The idea would be to expand the universe, to allow to continue building this fabric, this sort of seamless universe with characters across all three. And we think the medical show is a natural thing and a medical show in a small town also is something we haven’t seen a ton of these whenever, whether it’s Brilliant Minds or Chicago Med and The Pitt — these are all great shows, but they’re big cities,” he explained.
Lopez continued, “The challenge, and I think, the opportunity, is the same way that Mickey [Morena Baccarin] does law enforcement differently than any other cop on TV, how do the doctors and nurses of our hospital do medicine and heal patients differently? That’s something that’s really exciting. Again, it’s early stages, but we’re all really excited about it. And the idea would be characters and more than just Mickey — the show is being constructed in such a way that there are several, both Fire and Sheriff Country, characters that their storylines [are] baked in to cross with the medical show.”
