Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Television and CBS Studios, Sheriff Country is the highly anticipated first spin-off of the hit series Fire Country.
Plot Overview
At the center of Sheriff Country is Sheriff’s Deputy Mickey Fox, played by Morena Baccarin, who patrols the streets of small-town Edgewater.
