Speaking withDeadline, Thieriot was tight-lipped about whether Gabriela and Diego would get married. However, he confirmed a major accident would happen in the season’s premiere episode, saying:
“There will be a helicopter crash in the Season 3 premiere, which is going to cause a bit of turmoil in the community, the whole town. Everyone who’s there is going to have to get involved, roll up their sleeves and get muddy and bloody.”
The multifaceted creator also unveiled the theme forFire CountrySeason 3,which will be all about “legacy.” In his words:
“In Season 1 and 2, we were really focused on Bode’s redemption and him mending these relationships and trying to build back. Season 3 is a season that’s about legacy. We see Bode driven by this desire to be a firefighter and to continue that dream and follow the legacy of the Leone family. A major portion of that journey is, how does he accomplish that? How does he reach those goals and become a firefighter, and what hurdles will be in his way?”
