Another Fire Country Star Heads to Sheriff Country in a Fiery Crossover That Could Change Everything in "Exit Interview"

Edgewater just got a whole lot hotter. Fire Country favorite Kevin Alejandro is heading to Sheriff Country in an upcoming episode titled “Exit Interview,” airing Friday, November 21 on CBS and streaming on Paramount Plus. Alejandro reprises his Fire Country role as Manny, proving that CBS’s growing small-town drama universe is officially lighting up like, well, a forest fire.


In the episode, a body is found along the Eel River, throwing Sheriff Mickey Fox and her team into a murder investigation that shakes Edgewater to its core. Meanwhile, Wes risks everything to uncover the truth. And just when things couldn’t get more complicated, in walks Manny.



For those keeping score, this isn’t the first time that Sheriff Country and Fire Country proved that the two shows share creative DNA, a similar high-stakes procedural tone, and now, another character crossover that fans have been quietly manifesting since Sheriff Country premiered. Bringing Alejandro into the mix is a clever move: it gives Fire Country viewers a reason to tune in while adding an emotional edge for those who already know Manny’s history.


The official synopsis reads, "When a body is discovered along the Eel River, Sheriff Mickey Fox and her team launch a homicide investigation that rattles the heart of Edgewater. Meanwhile, Wes risks everything to uncover the truth about the murder."

The idea of Mickey Fox and Manny sharing screen time has “must-watch” written all over it. CBS is betting big on this shared universe, and when “Exit Interview” delivers, it will further prove that Sheriff Country can stand shoulder to shoulder with its hit predecessor.


With Fire Country continuing to be one of CBS’s breakout hits, it makes perfect sense for Sheriff Country to borrow a little star power. Kevin Alejandro’s arrival not only boosts fan excitement but also hints at even more crossovers ahead in this growing CBS universe.
