Family relationships are at the heart of Sheriff Country, both on and off the screen.
The Fire Country spinoff, which premiered on CBS in October 2025 and is currently in its second season, follows Sheriff Mickey Fox (Morena Baccarin) as she works to maintain law and order in the small town of Edgewater, Calif., while navigating challenges within her own family.
Mickey has a complicated relationship with her daughter, Skye (Amanda Arcuri), and often finds herself at odds with her father, Wes (W. Earl Brown), a former convict who runs an illegal marijuana-growing operation in the mountains.
Off-screen, Baccarin is juggling work and raising three children, whom she shares with her husband, fellow actor Ben McKenzie, who guest stars in season 2. When her oldest child, son Julius, was 4 years old, she reflected on going back to set shortly after his birth.
“I felt exhausted and scared to go back to work. I wanted to spend every second with him,” she wrote on Instagram in June 2018. “This one goes out to all the moms out there who feel the constant pull between work and children. There are no right answers.”
Here’s everything to know about the children of the Sheriff Country cast.

When Baccarin hangs up Mickey’s sheriff uniform, she goes home to a full house.
The actress welcomed her first child, son Julius Setta Chick, in October 2013, with her then-husband, Austin Chick. The pair, who ultimately went their separate ways in 2015, share joint custody of Julius.
A year later, Baccarin gave birth to a daughter, Frances Laiz Setta Schenkkan, with McKenzie. The couple wed in 2017, and their son, Arthur, arrived in March 2021.
“It’s wonderful to watch him every day with our kids,” Baccarin told PEOPLE in April 2018 about McKenzie. “I couldn’t ask for a better partner.”

Christopher Gorham, who portrays Mickey’s ex-husband, Travis, is also a dad of three.
After marrying in 2000, Gorham and his wife, actress Anel López Gorham, went on to welcome their children: Lucas in 2001, Ethan in 2003 and Jamie in 2009.

When Lucas was 9 years old, he was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, Christopher told Different & Able. Christopher has since become an advocate for autism awareness.
“I don’t think of [Lucas] as my son with Asperger’s. I think of him as my son,” he told the organization. “He’s not wrong. He’s not broken. He is who he is. We, as his parents, are going to do our best — as we do with all our kids — to give him the best shot at having the best life he can.”
