‘Fire Country’ & ‘Sheriff Country’ Crossover Teaser Drops As Matt Lopez Sets Up Action-Packed Event

Fans of CBS‘ Fire Country and Sheriff Country are officially one week away from the big crossover event that will bring together actors from both series for one special night: November 6. Deadline has your first look at the teaser trailer for the event, which can be found above.

Sheriff Country showrunner and executive producer Matt Lopez sets up what viewers can expect to see next week.

“The trailer sets up the theme of this year’s crossover event, “Impossible Choices,” as the heroes of Cal Fire and the Edgewater County Sheriff’s Office face twin dangers: a wind-driven firestorm of epic proportions and a jailbreak by several dangerous criminals, one of whom has a score to settle with Sheriff Mickey Fox [Morena Baccarin]. Once again, viewers can expect thrilling scenes, fun pairings, and even a bit of “crossover romance” — only this time, pushed to the limit,” said Lopez.

Adding, “This two-part Crossover Event was our most ambitious yet and shows off what Fire Country and Sheriff Country do best: bringing viewers all the drama, action, and heart that they have come to love.”

Lopez also reveals what our exclusive photo from the crossover above means.

“Eve, Skye and Tex find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time — at Edgewater’s landmark diner, The Meat Up — when a group of escaped convicts shows up, bent on revenge,” he teased.

Find the loglines for each slot below.

“No Way In,” airing from 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT: When a dangerous prison break escalates into a volatile hostage crisis, Sheriff Mickey Fox must make a high-stakes decision with personal consequences that could change the course of the case and put lives on the line. Max Thieriot, Kevin Alejandro, and Jules Latimer guest star.

“No Way Out,” airing 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT: When escaped convicts trigger a dangerous manhunt, Bode (Thieriot) and the Station 42 crew join forces with Sheriff Mickey Fox and her deputies to protect their loved ones and the community caught in the crossfire. Baccarin, Matt Lauria, Michele Weaver, Amanda Arcuri, and Ian Quinlan guest star.

When Deadline last spoke to Lopez to announce the crossover, he shared insight into who will feature the most.

“What we’ll see is Mickey and Manny figure very, very heavily. There’s a situation that arises on the day of a spectacular windstorm and fire event. There are also escaped convicts on the loose. There are resources required both from 42 in the Fire Country Universe and from the ESCO (Edgewater County Sheriff’s Office) in the Sheriff Country Universe. There’s this real push and pull, and as leaders of these particular incidents, Mickey and Manny will have to figure out how to navigate this, and there are personal stakes involved. It’s a real sort of roller coaster episode. I think audiences will love it,” he said.
