Two characters who appeared inFire Countryseason 1 can unexpectedly return to the franchise inSheriff Country. Ever since Mickey’s appearance inFire Countryseason 2, spinoff rumors began circling, especially with CBS wanting to channelFire Country’s success into a franchise.Sheriff Countryfinally releasing afterFire Countryseason 4’s premiere expands Edgewater’s world to reach new frontiers.
Sheriff Countrybeing set in the same town asFire Countrymakes crossovers a certainty, even with the shows being filmed on opposite sides of Canada. With the focus being on Mickey and, by extension, her and Sharon’s family, it’s highly likely they will make an appearance. This can finally bring back two obscure characters fromFire Countryseason 1.
Sheriff Country Can Bring Back Dolly & Paulie From Fire Country Season 1
Fire Countryseason 3focusing greatly on the Leones due to Walter’s diagnosis and his difficult relationship with Vince made thinking back to a time when it wasn’t all about the Leone family difficult. However,whenFire Countryseason 1 first began, the focus was all on Sharondue to her failing kidneys and need for a transplant.
Sharon’s declining health prompted Station 42 to organize an event at Smokey’s, so that Edgewater residents would test themselves to see if they were a match. This brought chaos in the form of a former inmate firefighter with a grudge against Sharon, but it also introducedSharon’s sister Dolly and her partner Paulie inFire Countryseason 1, episode 11.
Dolly and Paulie bore the brunt of Odin’s vendetta, as their taking Sharon and Vince’s bikes home meant they ended up being involved in a motorcycle accident after Odin had cut their brakes. However,Dolly and Paulie both survived the accident inFire Countryseason 1, making their disappearance from the firefighting drama puzzling.Sheriff Countrycan nevertheless change that.
How Sheriff Country’s Focus On Mickey & Sharon Can Expand Their Family Through Dolly
Sheriff Countryrevolving around Mickey’s peculiar situation of being a Sheriff’s Sergeant as well as the daughter of a known criminal guarantees thattheFire Countryspinoff will heavily feature Mickey’s family. Coupled withVince’s death inFire Countrypushing Mickey and Sharon closer, it makes sense that Mickey and Sharon’s whole family could appear.
This can mean Sharon’s mother, who was mentioned inFire Countryseason 2, episode 6, but it could also involve their extended family.It’s unclear whether Dolly knows Mickey or even if she ever lived with her and Sharon, as she could also be Sharon’s father’s biological daughter. Still, her being part of the family makes her appearance more likely.
Fire Countryseason 4 premieres on CBS at 8pm ET on Friday, June 17, 2025, withSheriff Countryfollowing suit at 9pm ET.
Fire Countryseason 3’s cliffhanger endinghinting at a tragedy looming over the Leones makes Sharon’s wish to lean on her entire family more probable. Vince’s likely death will surely affect everyone in Edgewater, with the Leones and those closest to them being hit the hardest.Dolly and Paulie’s return can offer some comfort.
After its nonstop focus on the Leones, Mickey and Sharon’s family being at the center ofFire Countrycould be extremely interesting. WithSheriff Countryshowing another side of that, Dolly’s return could potentially involveFire Countryand its spinoff, making Sharon and Bode not feel alone during their family’s darkest time.
