CBS has renewed its broadcast and streaming hit “Fire Country” for a second season. The news comes ahead of the procedural’s midseason return Friday night at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Since its premiere on Oct. 7, “Fire Country,” which stars Max Thieriot, has averaged 8 million viewers per episode, making it the top new broadcast series of the season. With live +35-day multiplatform viewing, more than 10 million people are tuning into the show on linear and streaming platforms, which includes CBS, linear playback, VOD, Paramount+ and the CBS app.
“It’s pretty remarkable to see a new series resonate like this with both broadcast and streaming audiences right out of the gate,” Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment, said in a statement.
