Dramatic series created by Max Thieriot, Tony Phelan, and Joan Rater, Fire Country continues its journey on Paramount+ with season 4 – part 1, premiering on February 23, 2026. Headlined once again by Max Thieriot as Bode Donovan, the American drama expands its focus on wildfires in Northern California, while placing greater emphasis on the human and community stories behind them. This new batch will include 10 one-hour episodes, with two episodes dropping at launch and one new episode each week thereafter.
At the center of this fourth season, Station 42 is shaken to its core by the death of Vince. Bode, who is already haunted by a prison past and a persistent drive for redemption, now has to grapple with a personal grief that threatens to undermine his stability. Torn between protecting his family and his dedication to the community, he struggles to stay upright as wildfires continue to threaten the region.
The arrival of a new captain shakes up the dynamics within the station. Existing relationships and power structures are challenged, forcing the team to rebuild itself collectively. In this tense environment, Fire Country unfolds stories where resilience and moral dilemmas are just as prominent as the on-screen action, all while avoiding unnecessary sensationalism.
The official trailer will be posted as soon as Paramount+ releases it.
Produced for CBS since 2022 and available internationally on Paramount+, the series fits right into the tradition of classic American emergency dramas. Filmed mainly in California, it combines realistic firefighting scenes with compelling family dramas set in a close-knit community. This fourth season takes a narrative turn, focusing on grief and new beginnings, while continuing the soap-operatic storytelling that has driven its success in previous seasons.
The tone remains that of a fast-paced contemporary drama, blending action scenes, internal conflicts, and quieter, introspective moments. The series is aimed at fans of stories focused on emergency services and personal redemption journeys, in a style similar to Station 19 or 9-1-1, while still maintaining its own unique identity rooted in the issue of wildfires.
