Kevin Alejandro as Manny Perez in a cave in Fire Country season 2.

As one of the breakout new shows of the Fall TV 2022-2023 season, it should come as no surprise that Fire Country season 2 is a staple on primetime. 

The popular show that follows the daily lives of volunteer and professional firefighters found an audience who enjoyed watching the bravery of these individuals as they combatted wild flames. Viewers also couldn’t help but be fascinated by all the drama in these characters' personal lives during Fire Country season 1

So what happens next in Fire Country season 2? Here’s everything we know.  

Next episode of Fire Country season 2

Fire Country returns with a brand-new episode. 

The episode "It's Not Over" airs on Friday, May 3, at 9 pm ET/PT on CBS. It also becomes available at that time to live stream for Paramount Plus with Showtime subscribers. Here is a synopsis of what's to come: 

" With the future of Three Rock in jeopardy, Station 42 and Three Rock host Edgewater’s 22nd Annual Firefighters’ Ball in an effort to impress the governor (Catherine Lough Haggquist) and save the camp. Meanwhile, Gabriela’s mom, Roberta (Paola Nunez), makes a surprise appearance at the event."

Fire Country is a CBS original series, and new episodes air live on the network. For those without traditional cable/satellite television, CBS is also available through a number of live TV streaming services, including FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV. Paramount Plus Premium subscribers and subscribers to the CBS app also have the opportunity to watch episodes live as they air.

To date, we don’t have official information about a UK release rollout for the series. 

Fire Country season 2 plot

At the heart of the series is a procedural about the fires the firefighters (both professional and volunteer) put out in the Northern California area. If dealing with flames wasn’t difficult enough, these characters also have to contend with the drama in their personal lives. 

Although the show zeroes in on several characters, the central character is Bode Donovan (Max Thieriot). Once the golden boy of his hometown, he returns years later as a volunteer firefighter with a rap sheet and a desire to prove he’s bigger than his past and people’s misconceptions. The task ahead of him is nothing short of complex. 

Here is the official synopsis with the overall plot of the show: 

"Fire Country stars Max Thieriot as Bode Donovan, a young convict seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence by joining a prison release firefighting program in Northern California, where he and other inmates are partnered with elite firefighters to extinguish massive, unpredictable wildfires across the region. 

"It’s a high-risk, high-reward assignment, and the heat is turned up when Bode is assigned to the program in his rural hometown, where he was once a golden all-American son until his troubles began. Five years ago, Bode burned down everything in his life, leaving town with a big secret. Now he’s back, with the rap sheet of a criminal and the audacity to believe in a chance for redemption with Cal Fire. Inspired by series star Max Thieriot’s experiences growing up in Northern California fire country."
