From Ghosts and Matlock to S.W.A.T and Elsbeth, many a beloved current series makes its return before the end of January. Another such series, and one with a die-hard fanbase, is Fire Country, the story of one man’s journey on a redemption program via the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

Following the release of the previous episode, “Promise Me”, on December 13, the short but enticing promo for the upcoming midseason premiere was released and is available to watch above. Titled “Coming in Hot”, that is exactly what it looks like the show will be doing in 2025, with an explosive, all-out energy return to the chaos of Cal Fire ready and waiting for fans. Alongside the release of some first-look images of the episode, it seems as if the stakes are being raised incredibly for the midseason premiere, setting in motion a second half of episodes in Season 3 that look to continue the show’s impeccable run of form. With Bode (Max Thieriot) and Audrey (Leven Rambin) facing imminent danger and Manny (Kevin Alejandro) putting his freedom on the line for his daughter, there’s not a moment of the upcoming episode that looks anything less than breathless. Beyond the aforementioned characters, it looks as if other exciting names might have been added to 2025’s Fire Country call sheet, including Francine and Vince’s brother, Luke Leone. That is if showrunner Tia Napolitano is to be believed, with the esteemed writer teasing to TV Insider, “We’ll see some Katie. Katie will be back. Katie’s great.” Before adding:

“I love Michael Trucco. We’re going to continue to get into the Leone legacy business. We’re going to see Walter [Fahey], we’re going to see Luke, just lots of Leone family messiness, more family lore, family history, brotherly dynamics between Luke and Vince, which are so great.”

A synopsis of the upcoming episode reads:

“With the Chezem Valley fire blazing out of control, Bode and Audrey must find a way to save themselves. Manny risks his freedom for Gabriela. Eve tries to protect her father and their family’s ranch.”
