CBS released this description of season two’s first episode:

“Cyclone” – As Sheriff Mickey Fox struggles to process a shocking revelation about her family, she races to save a troubled young woman whose descent into a dangerous criminal operation uncovers a growing threat to all of Edgewater.

Executive producers include Max Thieriot, Joan Rater, Tony Phelan, Matt Lopez, and Jerry Bruckheimer Television’s Jerry Bruckheimer and KristieAnne Reed.

Per CBS: “Sheriff Country stars Morena Baccarin as straight-shooting sheriff Mickey Fox, the stepsister of Cal Fire division chief Sharon Leone (Diane Farr of Fire Country). Mickey investigates crime while patrolling the streets of small-town Edgewater, contending with her ex-con father, Wes, an off-the-grid marijuana grower, while dealing with personal battles and an ever-growing criminal threat to the community she has sworn to protect.”
