Jared Padalecki has been a fixture on the small screen going back to Gilmore Girls in 2000, but his new project will take him away from the network where he went on to star in Supernatural and Walker . The actor has been cast for the upcoming third season of Fire Country , headlined by Max Thieriot and returning in fall of the 2024 TV schedule . This won't just be a one-off gig, and could lead to helping building Fire Country into a larger franchise.
The Supernatural alum is set for a three-episode arc of Fire Country Season 3, with Deadline reporting that he'll play a maverick SoCal firefighter by the name of Camden. The character will bring his "surfer swagger" into the mix as he notices Bode's talent. The role is currently only billed as recurring guest, but it comes with the possibility of him getting his own show in the Fire Country world.
And no, that doesn't mean Padalecki joining the upcoming Sheriff Country spinoff as a co-lead opposite Morena Baccarin , and the showrunner didn't mention anything about a new maverick firefighter when speaking about the spinoff . It's worth noting that Jared Padalecki getting his own installment in the franchise is far from a sure thing, and there's no confirmation of whether the project would air on CBS like Fire Country or go to streaming like NCIS: Tony And Ziva even if it does eventually score a series order. I can't help but wonder how exactly a spinoff could work with the main character as a firefighter, since that's exactly wha.
