Jared Padalecki Joins 'Fire Country' for 3 Episodes

Jared Padalecki, known for his roles in 'Supernatural' and 'Walker,' will join CBS's hit drama 'Fire Country' for a three-episode arc in its upcoming third season, premiering in October. He will portray Camden Casey, a Southern California firefighter with a 'surfer swagger' who recognizes the raw talent of the show's protagonist, Bode Leone. Camden's dynamic with Bode is expected to bring a new level of tension and excitement to the series. There is already speculation that Padalecki could lead a potential spin-off, contributing to CBS's broader strategy of expanding the 'Fire Country' franchise, which includes the already-ordered spin-off 'Sheriff Country' starring Morena Baccarin. CBS CEO George Cheeks has emphasized the network's commitment to building out a new universe around 'Fire Country.'
