Schitt’s Creek Favorite Noah Reid Snags Lead Role in New Fire Country Medical Spinoff

The *Fire Country* television universe is expanding once again, and a fan-favorite sitcom star is stepping into the spotlight. *Schitt's Creek* alumnus Noah Reid has been tapped to front a prospective medical spinoff set within the growing CBS franchise. Reid will make his debut in the franchise through a two-episode guest arc on *Sheriff Country*, the upcoming police-centric offshoot starring Morena Baccarin. According to reports, those guest appearances will double as a backdoor pilot, giving network executives and audiences a first look at the proposed third series in the fictional Northern California universe. ## What is the new Fire Country medical spinoff about? If CBS decides to give the project a formal series order, Reid would take on a main starring role as a physician operating within the same world established by max-rated flagship drama *Fire Country*. Details surrounding the character's specific medical background remain under wraps, but the multi-episode narrative will integrate his story directly alongside the law enforcement personnel of *Sheriff Country*. Network decision-makers will evaluate the response to Reid's guest stint before officially locking down a series pick-up for the medical drama. Should it move forward, the project will mark the third distinct show set inside the expanding emergency-services universe created by Max Thieriot and producers. ## What show is Noah Reid doing next? Reid is best known to global audiences for his beloved performance as Patrick Brewer on the award-winning comedy *Schitt's Creek*, where he starred opposite Dan Levy. Since the series concluded its acclaimed run, the actor has taken on diverse television projects, including Prime Video's sci-fi mystery series *Outer Range*, as well as high-profile stage productions on Broadway. Fans looking forward to Reid's turn in a fast-paced network drama will have to wait for the broadcast of *Sheriff Country* to see his debut. If the backdoor pilot proves successful with viewers, the star could soon be anchoring his very own weekly medical series on CBS.
