Max Thieriot offers a small update on Jared Padalecki’s potential Fire Country spinoff. The news about the Supernatural star potentially headlining his own show came after his three-episode arc in season 3, where he was introduced as SoCal firefighter Camden Casey. The spinoff, reportedly titled Fire Country: Surfside, is yet to be confirmed, as it seems those plans could be derailed. It was revealed earlier this year that Padalecki is set to star in a medical drama developed by CBS.
In an interview with TVLine, Thieriot, who headlines the firefighter series as Bode Donovan, offered an update on the spinoff project. The actor confirmed that Padalecki’s Texas medical drama is “in development,” though he doesn’t know more details. When asked about the Fire Country spinoff, he shared that there’s an interest in expanding the universe, but he was unable to confirm anything concrete at this time. Check out his comment below:
Jared has a medical drama in development. I don’t know what the status of that is. There’s no real update at this time. We’re certainly excited to explore expanding the universe, but no big breaking news today.
CBS Is Still Exploring The Idea Of Fire Country: Surfside
Fire Country: Surfside is still in the early stages, but there is also uncertainty. Padalecki has a first-look deal with CBS, and according to previous reports, his involvement in the Texas medical drama would not affect his ability to star in the potential Fire Country spinoff. In January, it was also reported that the network would not move forward with any possible spinoff projects before the Sheriff Country spinoff, and with the series set for a fall release, it may take a while for more news to come to light.

Jared Padalecki has a new CBS television series coming up (not his reported Fire Country spinoff), and it will make the network more rounded.
Padalecki’s three-episode arc in season 3 has set up a very different show as Fire Country: Surfside will be the first to venture out of Northern California. With the tease of unfinished business and Casey’s being an elite firefighter, the spinoff does match the description of expanding the universe.
Our Take On Fire Country: Surfside
It’d Be A Fun And Different Show From Fire Country
Padalecki only appeared in three episodes, but his character has a lot to offer. Season 3 introduced the bold and seasoned firefighter Casey, who is not afraid to stir up some things in Bode’s town. As a captain, Casey has a very different approach to firefighting from Vince, but on a personal level, he’s a mess, still reeling over the loss of his younger brother.
Fire Country: Surfside sounds very interesting, with Casey being among the most memorable roles Padalecki has starred in. Hopefully, viewers will get to hear more updates as Sheriff Country moves forward.
