\n\tEXCLUSIVE: Noah Reid<\/a> is looking to join Max Thieriot and Morena Baccarin as the lead of a Fire Country\u2013Sheriff Country<\/a> universe series. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Schitt\u2019s Creek alum has been tapped to appear in one episode of the upcoming second season of CBS<\/a>\u2018 cop drama Sheriff Country as Dr. Hudson \u201cHud\u201d Henshaw. The guest star casting comes with a series regular option as Reid would headline the Sheriff Country medical drama spinoff that has been in development at the network<\/a> if CBS goes for it. Following a medical team in Edgewater, California, the untitled offshoot is informally referred to as Edge Med.<\/p>\n

\n\tCBS took the same route with Sheriff Country, which originated with lead Baccarin guest starring on the mothership Fire Country<\/a> as Sheriff Mickey Fox before the spinoff was picked up to series. <\/p>\n

\n\tReid\u2019s Dr. Hudson \u201cHud\u201d Henshaw is the Chief of Emergency Medicine at Edgewater Memorial Hospital a\/k\/a \u201cEdge Med.\u201d Charming and quick-witted, but rough-around-the-edges, Hud was born and raised in the outlaw hinterland known as Deadwater. He is the proud son of convicted felons, yet refused to take the family\u2019s drug money to pay for medical school. He is a passionate doctor who embodies his oath to \u201cfirst do no harm,\u201d yet is not one to shy away from a good bar fight. A man deeply committed to the community he grew up in, he is a restless soul all the same.<\/p>\n

\n\tHud\u2019s family background echoes that of Sheriff Country\u2018s Mickey whose dad Wes is an ex-con and illegal marijuana grower. Reid landed the role after a lengthy casting search that included straight offers and reading actors.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe untitled spinoff, from CBS Studios, is executive produced by Matt Lopez, Thieriot, Joan Rater, Tony Phelan and JBTV\u2019s Jerry Bruckheimer and KristieAnne Reed. <\/p>\n

Season 2 of Sheriff Country premieres on CBS on Oct. 9.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis would not be Canadian-American actor-musician Reid\u2019s first time headlining an American series \u2014 he previously played the title character on the 2015 ABC Family (now Freeform) comedy series Kevin From Work. <\/p>\n

\n\tReid is known for his role as Patrick on Schitt\u2019s Creek, sharing a Comedy Ensemble SAG Award with the rest of the series\u2019 cast and winning a Canadian Screen Award for his performance. <\/p>\n

\n\tMore recently, Reid was a series regular on Prime Video\u2019s metaphysical Western drama Outer Range opposite Josh Brolin and Imogen Poots.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe is coming off an arc on Anne Rice\u2019s The Vampire Lestat, the latest installment of AMC\u2019s Interview with the Vampire. Reid next stars opposite Carrie-Anne Moss, Hudson Williams, and Clark Backo in the upcoming Bell\/Crave series Yaga, which will be carried in the U.S. by AMC+. He is repped by GGA and Circle Management + Production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Noah Reid is looking to join Max Thieriot and Morena Baccarin as the lead of a Fire…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":892171,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,6714,75,119167,229965],"class_list":["post-892170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-cbs","tag-entertainment","tag-noah-reid","tag-sheriff-country"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/892170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=892170"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/892170\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/892171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=892170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=892170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=892170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
