Sheriff Country

Matt Lopez brings a fresh take to the crime drama genre with Sheriff Country, a series airing on CBS that premiered in October 2025. Morena Baccarin steps into the lead role of Mickey Fox, a newly appointed sheriff tasked with keeping order in the quiet town of Edgewater. The show balances high-stakes police work with deep family drama as Mickey navigates her complicated relationship with her ex-con father, played by W. Earl Brown, and tries to reconnect with her estranged daughter. Supporting players like Matt Lauria and Christopher Gorham add layers of tension to the small-town setting where secrets run deep and trust is hard to come by. Running through two seasons with a total of 25 episodes, the series concluded its first major arc in May 2026. Critics and audiences have responded well to the grounded storytelling and strong performances, earning the show a solid 7.3 rating from viewers who appreciate its mix of procedural elements and character study. While it follows the familiar beats of a small-town cop show, the unique dynamic between Mickey and her past sets it apart from standard fare.[edit]
