Fire Country has done a remarkable job carving a place for itself among other firefighting dramas like 9-1-1 and Chicago Fire, and it will continue to do so with Fire Country season 3 this fall.

The hit series returns with Max Thieriot at the helm as the reformed man trying to escape the mistakes of his past and give back to his community as a courageous firefighter alongside some equally fearless people. So what happens next in Fire Country season 3?

Here’s everything we know.

Fire Country season 3 release date

Fire Country season 3 debuts on Friday, October 18, at 9 pm ET/PT on CBS. The season premiere also becomes available at that time for Paramount Plus with Showtime subscribers.

Fire Country is a CBS original series, and new episodes air live on the network. For those without traditional cable/satellite television, CBS is also available through a number of live TV streaming services, including FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV. Paramount Plus Premium subscribers and subscribers to the CBS app also have the opportunity to watch episodes live as they air.

Essential Tier members of Paramount Plus can watch episodes the day after they air on the streaming network. All subscribers to the streamer can currently catch up with seasons 1 and 2.

To date, we don’t have official information about a UK release rollout for season 3 episodes, but we anticipate they will join previous episodes on Sky Witness.

Fire Country season plot

Here is the overall synopsis for the series:

"Fire Country stars Max Thieriot (Seal Team) as Bode Leone, a young convict seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence by joining a prison release firefighting program in Northern California, where he and other inmates are partnered with elite firefighters to extinguish massive, unpredictable wildfires across the region. It’s a high-risk, high-reward assignment, and the heat is turned up when Bode is assigned to the program in his rural hometown, where he was once a golden all-American son until his troubles began. Years ago, Bode burned down everything in his life, leaving town with a big secret. Now he’s back, with the rap sheet of a criminal and the audacity to believe in a chance for redemption with Cal Fire. Inspired by series star Max Thieriot’s experiences growing up in Northern California fire country."
