“They’re very completely different exhibits in that Sheriff is a thriller. Fireplace is all in regards to the incident that occurs and the way it impacts our folks,” creator Tony Phelan solely informed Us Weekly in September. “Sheriff is about creating these mysteries, creating these crimes after which saying, ‘How will we pursue it? How will we be sure the viewers doesn’t get forward of us?’ After which, ‘How do these crimes have an effect on what our persons are going by of their private lives?’”
He continued: “However I feel for individuals who like cop exhibits, it’s a distinct form of cop present. It’s a cop present the place you roll up on an incident and you understand all people. You realize their historical past and also you’re not essentially trying to arrest folks. You’re trying to see for those who can defuse the scenario — after which for those who can’t — you resort to having to take your handcuffs out. However I feel there’s a freshness about it when it comes to the small city nature of the story that it feels new.”

“We acquired so fortunate with Morena to search out an actor who not solely match into our present however match into Fireplace Nation. However she additionally has her personal identification and she or he’s such a posh character,” Phelan informed Us. “It felt like a pure outgrowth of the present. However this can be a present that has its personal identification — that will be associated to Fireplace Nation — but can be extra of a thriller present. And the characters in and round her are completely different than the characters in and round Max on Fireplace Nation.”
