Sheriff Country Spinoff Casts Mickey’s Dad — Deadwood’s W. Earl Brown to First Appear on Fire Country

The first Fire Country spinoff is starting to take shape.

Eight months after Morena Baccarin debuted as sheriff Mickey Fox on Fire Country, and seven months after CBS formally ordered a Baccarin-led Sheriff Country to series, a second cast member has been signed.

W. Earl Brown, whose past TV credits include Deadwood, Preacher and Hacks, will guest-star on Fire Country later this season as Wes, Mickey’s dad and Sharon’s (Diane Farr) stepfather. Brown’s guest-starring role comes with the option to be a series regular on Sheriff Country when it premieres on CBS.

Wes is described as a secretive, off-the-grid marijuana grower who lives a semi-reclusive life in the mountains of Edgewater, allowing only a select few to know the location of his operation. His illegal business creates tension with daughter Mickey, who is of course in law enforcement. Wes, though, is kind and generous toward his family, particularly his yet-to-be-cast granddaughter Sky.

Here is everything else we know about the Sheriff Country spinoff….
