["'Sheriff Country' follows straight-shooting Sheriff Mickey Fox (Morena
Baccarin), the stepsister of Cal Fire’s division chief Sharon Leone
(Diane Farr), who investigates criminal activity as she patrols the
streets of small-town Edgewater while contending with her ex-con father
and a mysterious incident involving her wayward daughter."]

With Baccarin on the show I'll have to give this a shot.

I wonder who will end up picking the show up when the HBO deal is
finally over.

It seems like it's been too many years to return to this show.

Matthew Gray Gubler To Reprise His Spencer Reid Role On ‘Criminal Minds:

Wow.. He's been gone so long I assumed he had given up on the show.
Though I would guess this is just a guest role and after looking at
the article that does seem to be the case.

‘Warhammer 40,000’ TV Series With Henry Cavill In Development At Amazon
Under Deal With Games Workshop  (Dec. 10)

https://deadline.com/2024/12/henry-cavill-warhammer-40000-tv-series-amazon-1236199071/

Given how things have gone in the past with Cavill's last projects I
won't hold my breath on it actually making it to air. I do hope they
do it right as the Warhammer 40,000 world allows for any number of
stories.

Dick Van Dyke Reveals “Exhausting” Escape From Malibu Fire, Says

I'm glad he is safe but have to wonder why he was still there when he
had to know the fire was coming. It's not like he didn't have the
ability to go somewhere safe while the fire was being fought. If he
were a young man I could see wanting to try and fight the fire but at
his age that's not a good choice.
