CBS Renews Hit Dramas "Boston Blue" And "Sheriff Country" For Season 2
CBS has officially ordered second seasons of its two breakout freshman hit dramas, Boston Blue and Sheriff Country. The network announced the renewals today, driven by the strong ratings performance of both series during the fall 2025 lineup. The new seasons are set to premiere in the fall of 2026.
"Boston Blue" Captures the Northeast
Boston Blue, the gritty crime drama starring Donnie Wahlberg as a veteran detective navigating the complex world of Boston law enforcement, has been a significant win for the network. The show developed a loyal following thanks to its authentic location filming and compelling case-of-the-week format.
Premise: Wahlberg’s character balances his high-stakes job with his complicated family life in Charlestown.
Performance: The series consistently won its 10:00 PM Tuesday slot in total viewers.
"Sheriff Country" Expands the Fire Country Universe
Sheriff Country, the much-anticipated spin-off of the popular series Fire Country, stars Morena Baccarin as San Diego County Sheriff's Department Deputy Mickey Fox. The show focuses on Fox as she investigates an arson and a separate case involving a missing person, all while dealing with her estranged daughter.
Premise: The show is an action-packed procedural that expands the "Fire Country" universe into law enforcement.
Performance: The spin-off was a ratings hit on Thursday nights, capitalizing on its lead-in and establishing a robust new anchor for the CBS lineup.
Both renewals solidify CBS’s strong position in the procedural and action-drama genres, ensuring that fans can look forward to more action and drama in the 2026 fall season.
