Fire Country showrunner reveals when work will begin on Season 4 (& it’s sooner than expected)

Fire Country Season 3 ended without revealing the fates of multiple characters, which has left the audience eagerly awaiting the next season. Owing to its popularity, the procedural drama has already been renewed for a fourth installment.

Showrunner Tia Napolitano has now talked about when the work on Fire Country Season 4 will begin, revealing that the writing team is getting back together pretty soon.

In an interview with Deadline, Napolitano said the writers' room is going to start in a week and a half. Teasing how there could be time jumps in the upcoming season, the showrunner said:

“The writers' room starts in a week and a half, so I think we will play with time.”

Tia Napolitano talks about the development of Fire Country Season 4

Tia Napolitano revealed that the team is already figuring out a way to create the best possible Fire Country Season 4 premiere episode for the audience. In the season 3 finale, Bode’s family members were stuck in a burning building that collapsed.

The characters who are at risk of dying include Vince Leone, Sharon Leone, Walter Leone, and Jake Crawford. Napolitano said the cliffhanger will be resolved early in the next season’s premiere, after which there could be a time jump:

“I think the most important thing is, we’ve left huge cliffhangers, so we’re going to satisfy all of those cliffhangers and give everyone the information that they’re craving — we’re certainly never going to skip over any of that. Will we play the time deeper into the episode? Perhaps, we’re still figuring out the most exciting premiere.”

Fire Country Season 4 is also going to see some major changes in the cast as Billy Burke, who plays Vince Leone, and Stephanie Arcela, who stars as Gabriela Perez, have been reported to leave the show.

The creators have already explained that Arcela will exit as a series regular, but could still make guest appearances. During the interview, co-creator Tony Phelan also said that the upcoming season will resolve the conflicts set up in the season 3 finale:

“There’s a lot of loss in the finale: the loss of Three Rock and what’s happening to our cast, that putting the pieces back together is really what the beginning of Season 4 is going to be about.”

Meanwhile, the rest of the main cast members are expected to reprise their roles in Fire Country Season 4, including Max Thieriot as Bode, Jules Latimer as Eve Edwards, and Kevin Alejandro as Manny Perez.
