'Fire Country' Cast: Meet the Faces of the Hit Firefighter Drama

When CBS's Fire Country debuted as part of the fall 2023 TV season, it rocketed to the top of viewers' "must-watch" lists. It only took two installments for CBS to order a complete season of the series, and then it was finally renewed for a second season only a few months later.

It stars protagonist Bode Donovan, a young convict who joins a bit of an unconventional prison release program. It finds him working as a firefighter in California, where he and fellow inmates are partnered with experienced firefighters to put out massive fires. When Bode is given an assignment to work in his hometown, he returns with a massive secret and a criminal past. He's gunning for redemption, but of course, those things make it all a bit difficult — and the series revolves around that fact and his family and those he works with.

With Season 2 on the horizon, the series is set to return with its original cast members, like Max Thieriot, Kevin Alejandro, Diane Farr, Stephanie Arcila, and more. Music fans will also be thrilled to hear that country star Kane Brown will be making his acting debut during an April 7 episode of Fire Country. He'll be joining as guest star Robin, an outlaw who works to help injured train crash patients.

If you're planning on checking the show out, you might need a bit of a refresher about who's who in terms of both the cast and characters that bring this series to life. Here's a character guide to everyone you can expect to see throughout Fire Country Season 2.

Max Thieriot - Bode Leone

Max Thieriot is Bode Leone, an inmate with the Cal Fire crew. He's haunted by his sister Riley's death, who perished in a car accident — in a car that Bode had been driving. Although he briefly used the last name Donovan, Bode reclaimed his birthright as a Leone after bonding with his father. Despite his troubled past, Bode seems to have a promising future in the family firefighting business.

Thieriot has been acting for over two decades. One of his standout performances was in the hit series Bates Motel, where he played Dylan Massett.

He also demonstrated his range as an actor in the sci-fi thriller Jumper and the family comedy The Pacifier.

Stephanie Arcila is an actress known for her roles in series like Supergirl, Black-ish, Passions of the Heart, and I Hate This Part.

Jordan Calloway is an actor who debuted on TV as Jerel Jr. on a single episode of The Parkers.
