It turns out that behind the scenes of ‘Sheriff Country,’ many cast members are enjoying long-lasting relationships!

Sheriff Country, which kicks off on CBS on October 17, follows Sheriff Mickey Fox, portrayed by Morena Baccarin, as she skillfully juggles the challenges of her job and her complicated family dynamics in the quaint Edgewater, California.

Mickey’s life off the clock is anything but simple — she deals with her ex-husband Travis, played by Christopher Gorham, and their daughter Skye (Amanda Arcuri), plus the issues brought in by her dad Wes (W. Earl Brown), a former convict.

In real life, Baccarin knows all about the balance of co-parenting. She has a son with her ex Austin Chick and also has two kids with her current husband, actor Ben McKenzie.
