The show follows Bode Donovan, a young convict who gets the chance to reduce his prison sentence by joining a firefighting program.
Sent back to his hometown, where he left behind secrets and his former life, Bode must navigate working with elite firefighters, facing massive wildfires, and trying to redeem himself for past mistakes.
With Season 4 set to premiere on October 17, fans are still reeling from a major cliffhanger and are eager to see what happens next.
Before tuning in, it’s the perfect time to meet the cast and get ready for another season of high-stakes drama and emotional storytelling.
Max Thieriot as Bode Donovan
Thoughts on Fire Country: “It’s really rewarding,” Thieriot, who is also a co-creator, said of being involved with Fire Country. “When I started writing it, in the beginning, I wasn’t sure what the route was gonna be. My intentions were to try to create this world, pitch it and then have them make a show, best-case scenario. But the more into it I got and the deeper I got, and the more time I spent with it, the more I became attached to it.”
Kevin Alejandro as Manny Perez
Thoughts on Fire Country: “I love being in charge and mentoring,” explained Alejandro of his character. “I love where they are taking [him] right now. He is a real human being, he is flawed, he makes decisions that aren’t always the best, but he has good intentions.”
Jordan Calloway as Jake Crawford
Thoughts on Fire Country: “I think what we focus on in Fire Country is the story of redemption, the story of showcasing these convicted felons as not convicted felons and not just as firefighters, but as men, as women, as humans,” Calloway said.
Jules Latimer as Eve Edwards
Thoughts on Fire Country: “When we started doing this show, my research was Station 19,” reflected Latimer. “They talk a lot, they cook a lot and, like, I could do that. That’s what firefighters do [laughs]. But no, we are fully in gear… I just think firefighters can do so much, which I didn’t know, which is why I think is why everyone loves firefighters.”
Stephanie Arcila as Gabriela Perez
Thoughts on Fire Country: “Life takes us through so many avenues, and Gabriela is such a gift to me in my career, personally and professionally,” Arcila said. “I’m so grateful to have played a Latina on a show and a Latina where they were able to include part of my culture as well, part of my Colombian background. It was really exciting.”
