‘Sheriff Country’ Season 2 Episode 7 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview

The next episode of ‘Sheriff Country’ is set to arrive on Friday, Dec. 11, and it carries the title “Stand Your Ground.” Schedule listings place the episode airing tonight, “Close to the Chest,” on Nov. 13, which leaves a four week gap between the two installments.

This guide covers the ‘Sheriff Country’ release date, air time, streaming options and everything reported about the story so far. A summary for the episode has not been published yet, so the preview below leans on confirmed scheduling details and the season context that surrounds it.

‘Sheriff Country’ Release Date and Schedule

“Stand Your Ground” is listed as the seventh episode of the second season, with an airdate of Friday, Dec. 11, 2026. The sixth episode, “Close to the Chest,” is scheduled for Nov. 13.

Not every outlet agrees on the date. Earlier listings pointed to Dec. 4 and still showed the episode title as to be announced. More recent pages settle on Dec. 11 and include the title.

The second season premiered on Oct. 9 on CBS and became available on Paramount+ the following day. New episodes air weekly on Fridays.

The first season ran for 20 episodes, while the official episode count for the second season had not been announced. That leaves the length of the current run open as the fall schedule continues.

Air Time and Where to Watch

The seventh episode is scheduled for 8 PM, with a runtime of 60 minutes. The series airs on CBS at 8 PM ET/PT.

Paramount+ Premium subscribers can stream episodes live as they air on CBS, and on demand the day after they air. Both the Premium and Essential plans include on demand streaming.

Viewers who want to catch up before the next installment have options. All of the first season is available to stream on Paramount+.

Episode Preview and What Is Known So Far

The confirmed creative details for the seventh episode are limited to its title and date. No official synopsis, guest cast or episode description had surfaced in the sources checked, so any detailed plot talk would be speculation.

The episode airing tonight offers the closest look at where the story stands. Its description says a dangerous case hits close to home for Hank, and Mickey and the team race to protect someone he loves while uncovering secrets that may have put him in danger. Hank is Deputy Enrique Iglesias, one of the station’s deputies.

The earlier episodes of the season give a sense of the tone. The premiere, “Cyclone,” followed Mickey as she processed a shocking family revelation while racing to save a troubled young woman. The next episode, “Family Trust,” saw her dig into a trafficking investigation, with an undercover sting testing her trust in Wes and Eva. Another installment centered on a dangerous new drug spreading through Edgewater’s college community.

Showrunner Matt Lopez said after the first season finale that the opening episode of the new season would have plenty to unpack. The season has stayed close to that family thread ever since.

Cast and Season Storylines

The cast includes Morena Baccarin as Sheriff Mickey Fox, Matt Lauria as Deputy Nathan Boone, W. Earl Brown as Wes Fox, Michele Weaver as Deputy Cassidy Campbell and Christopher Gorham as Travis Fraley. Amanda Arcuri plays Skye Fraley, Ian Quinlan plays Deputy Hank Iglesias and Rachel Ticotin plays Eva Santos.

Arcuri and Quinlan moved from recurring roles in the first season to the main cast in the second. Ben McKenzie also guest starred in the premiere as Sheriff Wade, a neighboring sheriff called in to help Mickey who has secrets of his own.

The season trailer showed Mickey still reeling from the fact that her mother is alive, and it hinted that Boone would be worried about her. That tension between the job and her family is what keeps the show moving.

The series has also found an audience on Friday nights. Deadline reported that it returned from a break with its best same day viewership to that point. With Mickey, Wes and Eva still tangled up in a family secret, readers can say in the comments whether “Stand Your Ground” should finally force that standoff into the open.
