Fire Country ignited by Sky Witness

Stateside drama set to air on Sky Witness later this month…

Sky has announced that the popular American drama Fire Country is set to launch on Sky Witness and NOW later this month with episodes airing from the first series of the production.

Starring and executive produced by Max Thieriot (SEAL Team), Fire Country tells the story of a young convict, Bode Donovan, who seeks redemption and a shortened prison sentence by joining a prison-release firefighting programme. Inspired by Thieriot’s personal experiences of growing up in wildfire-prone Northern California, the series sees Bode and other inmates partnered with elite firefighters to extinguish massive, unpredictable wildfires across the region.

The heat is turned up when Bode returns to his rural Californian hometown with the firefighting unit. Bode burned down everything in his life five years ago and left home 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.

The series also stars Billy Burke (Twilight), Kevin Alejandro (Lucifer), Diane Farr (Chance), Stephanie Arcila (Marriposa de Barrio), Jordan Calloway (Riverdale) and Jules Latimer (Rustin).

Fire Country is due to launch on Wednesday 24 January on Sky Witness.
