Fire Country was THE firefighting show of the season in 2023, and its had to contend with the pressure of delivering a satisfying follow up with less episodes. It hasn't been easy, but the writers and cast members have mostly delivered. Season 2 has taken the plot in different directions, and fleshed out dynamics we previously knew little about.

That being said, the show is apparently saving its craziest events for the back end of the season. Michael Trucco, who plays Luke, recently talked about what's in store for Fire Country during an interview with TV Line. As far as he's concerned, fans haven't seen anything yet.

Michael Trucco teases season 2 finale drama

For starters, Trucco assured fans that he will be getting more to do as Luke. What the "more" consists of is mystery to him, but the point stands. That’s what I love about the dichotomy of this character they created for me," he explained. "You can’t paint Luke with one solid brush stroke. But I dig that about him."

The actor did not, however, that Luke may be in over his head when it comes to protesters at Three Rock. TV Line reports that the character will have to contend with people protesting against the new fence being erected around Three Rock, and the tension that arises:

"That’s the wild card. You have Luke trying to keep the story positive, and you have people outside the gate getting agitated… That’s where all hell breaks loose."

A protest could affect Three Rock forever

Fire Country has already announced plans for various spinoffs, so it's clear CBS wants to expand the reach of the franchise. It's a testament to the people involved with the flagship show, however, that the focus remains on the characters and the relatively small stakes of Three Rock. It's what drew people to the show in the first place.

The reverberations of the protest and its fallout will be felt throughout the rest of the season. Trucco said that it would play a major role in the finale, specifically. “Three Rock is the beating heart of the show, so the idea that it could close is very upsetting," he asserted. "If this one camp, Three Rock, proves that it doesn’t work, they might take the whole system away."
