So, now, the star of this <em>Fire Country <\/em>spinoff, Morena Baccarin, has opened up about the cool way she prepared to play the sheriff of a small town.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">For a couple of years now, there\u2019s been talk about <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/looks-fire-country-might-expand-223623294.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Fire Country expanding into a franchise;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\"><u><em>Fire Country <\/em><\/u><u>expanding into a franchise<\/u><\/a>, and it\u2019s doing just that by introducing us to Edgewater, California\u2019s sheriff\u2019s department, in the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/sounds-fire-country-might-spinoff-192737927.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:first spinoff, Sheriff Country;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\"><u>first spinoff, <\/u><u><em>Sheriff Country<\/em><\/u><\/a>.

And that includes riding along with officers who work in Upstate New York, as she explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s a small town, so it\u2019s kind of perfect. There\u2019s not a lot going on sometimes, but then it changes on a dime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As someone from a small town, I know this to be true. Some days, some weeks, in fact, not a lot happens in terms of news. However, in the blink of an eye, that can change dramatically, and before you know it, a whole bunch of people from one community can be involved in an intense situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That\u2019s also proven to be the case on <em>Fire Country<\/em>, where <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/fire-countrys-latest-episode-morena-161021561.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mickey was introduced in Season 2;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\"><u>Mickey was introduced in Season 2<\/u><\/a>. So, I expect we\u2019ll see more of the same on her show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">However, back to how she prepared. Baccarin dove into the questions she wanted to ask the cops she was riding along with. She said she was extra \u201cfascinated\u201d in the \u201clittle things\u201d about their lives, especially when they didn\u2019t have much going on, she said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But I was more fascinated by the little things when there\u2019s not much going on. Do you take your belt off when you sit in your office? Things you wouldn\u2019t think about, like when you are writing endless reports, do you take a coffee break? Do you go break it up with, oh, an eviction notice? If you want to make something happen, do you search for people to pull over?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I love that she was thinking about all these questions for a few reasons. One is that I had never thought about this before. When I think about law enforcement, I\u2019m not considering the mundane part of the job; I\u2019m thinking about the action-packed part. And that leads me into my second reason, which is the fact that she has thought about this, which tells me we\u2019re in for a good time when <em>Sheriff Country <\/em>premieres.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Clearly, she\u2019s fascinated by this world she\u2019s going to dive into in <em>Fire Country\u2019s <\/em>spinoff, and that makes me even more excited to watch the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now, I really can\u2019t wait for <em>Sheriff Country\u2019s <\/em>Season 1 premiere on CBS. We aren\u2019t that far off from it either, as it\u2019ll make its debut on Friday, October 17 at 9 p.m. ET.
