Fire Country Season 3’s previous episode kept viewers hooked as Jake and Bode’s lighthouse rescue operation turned into a ship rescue. Meanwhile, Eve delved deep into the mystery of the flu outbreak at Three Rock. Since then, fans have grown more excited for the next episode. So, will Fire Country Season 3 air its new episode—Episode 16—tonight?
Here is everything you need to know about the release date of the next episode of the third season of the drama series.
Will Fire Country Season 3 Episode 16 release tonight on CBS?
No, Fire Country Season 3 Episode 16 will not air tonight, March 28, 2025.
In recent weeks, Fire Country shocked and disappointed fans by suddenly halting new episode releases. Many quickly began speculating about the reasons behind the unexpected schedule disruption. Some even feared the show was ending or on the verge of cancellation. The abrupt cancellations of several other shows only intensified these concerns, leaving fans heartbroken and bracing for Fire Country to suffer the same fate.
However, the truth is that the drama is not ending anytime soon. The delay in episodes is due to CBS choosing to cover the annual event, March Madness—the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament. This single-elimination tournament features 68 teams competing for the national title. This marks the second time Season 3 has gone on a break.
CBS’s sudden schedule change has paused the airing of Fire Country Season 3, along with other CBS shows like Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. This has delayed Fire Country’s new episodes by almost three weeks. As a result, the show will return with a bang on Friday, April 4, 2025, with Episode 16. It will air at its usual time, 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Moving forward, new episodes will continue to release as scheduled.
Episode 16, titled “Dirty Money,” will be a special crossover with the upcoming spin-off show, Sheriff Country. It will feature Bode teaming up with his aunt, Sheriff Mickey Fox, to investigate the attempted murder of her estranged father, Wes Fox.
