Actor Max Thieriot reveals there will be a child character in season 3 of ‘Fire Country’; Could this be the child of Bode’s character?
Everyone is getting a love interest in Fire Country Season 3, but some might have gotten theirs earlier than others. Following the fizzling out of Bode (Max Thieriot) and Gabriela’s (Stephanie Arcila) relationship, the former shifted his focus to new firefighter Audrey James (Leven Rambin), and so far, so good. In Fire Country Season 3, Episode 12, “I’m the One Who Just Goes Away,” things become even more serious between them as they define their relationship. Meanwhile, according to the logline below, trouble finds Bode and Jake (Jordan Calloway) on a mundane trip. CBS released a sneak peek from the February 21 episode, which shows these two arcs and teases a thrilling emergency as a rock avalanche puts Bode and Jake’s lives at risk.
The Renaissance fair was fun for Bode and Audrey, even when a malfunctioning flame thrower risked their lives. However, some things have taken priority now that they’ve survived yet another emergency. “We should figure out what this is first,” Bode says in the video above as he and Audrey lean in for a kiss. Maybe figuring it out will have to wait. Meanwhile, Jake and Bode’s trip takes a turn when they notice a landslide. “Someone’s buried under there,” says Bode as the video shows a man buried under enormous rocks.
‘Fire Country’ Season 3 Tease: A Mysterious Child Enters the Story—Could This Be Bode’s?
The flames of Fire Country are about to burn even hotter in Season 3, and a new revelation has set the fandom ablaze with speculation. Actor Max Thieriot, the heart and soul of the hit CBS drama, recently dropped a tantalizing hint—Season 3 will introduce a child. But this isn’t just any child. This revelation has sparked a wildfire of questions: Could this be Bode’s child?
Fans of Fire Country know that the series thrives on explosive twists, high-stakes rescues, and deeply emotional character arcs. And Bode Donovan (played by Thieriot) has been at the center of it all. After two seasons of battling not just raging wildfires but also his own personal demons, Bode’s journey has taken one dramatic turn after another. But nothing—nothing—could prepare him for the possibility that he might have a child.
A Shocking Reveal That Changes Everything?
During a recent discussion about Season 3, Thieriot confirmed the introduction of a young character. However, he carefully avoided revealing any details about who this child is or what role they will play. Naturally, the Fire Country fandom has erupted with theories, and the biggest one is impossible to ignore: Is this child connected to Bode?
Bode has always been a complicated character—haunted by his past mistakes, struggling for redemption, and desperately trying to rebuild relationships with those he loves. His romantic entanglements, particularly with Gabriela and his ex-girlfriend Cara, have been a focal point of the show. If this new child turns out to be his, it could send his entire world up in flames in ways he never expected.
Could This Be a Long-Lost Secret?
If Bode does have a child, it raises a storm of questions. Did he know about it? Who is the mother? Was this child kept a secret from him?
One theory gaining traction among fans suggests that Cara, his past love, may have been hiding a life-altering truth. Another possibility? A past relationship we haven’t explored yet—one that could come crashing into Bode’s life when he least expects it.
For a man already struggling to find solid ground, discovering he has a child could push him into uncharted emotional territory. Would this revelation help him fight harder for his future, or would it send him spiraling back into the shadows of his past?
What This Means for Season 3
With Season 3 already promising intense drama, daring rescues, and personal battles, the introduction of a child could shift everything. Not only for Bode, but for the entire cast of characters who have stood by him.
If this child is his, how will it affect his fight for redemption? His place in Edgewater? His relationships?
And if the child isn’t his—then who are they, and why are they so important?
