Tia Napolitano departing from ‘Fire Country’

NEW YORK (UPI) — Showrunner Tia Napolitano is departing the CBS drama, Fire Country, at the end of the current fourth season.

In her own statement, Napolitano said how proud of the show she is.

“All of my gratitude to our cast, crew, writers, producers, fans, and, of course, CBS and CBS Studios,” she said. “It’s been a beautiful ride!”

The show stars Max Thieriot, Kevin Alejandro, Diane Farr, Jordon Calloway, and Jules Latimer.

The show is now on hiatus, but will resume its fourth season on Feb. 27.
