Fire Country season 2 has recently concluded, but cocreator Max Thieriot is already collaborating with the show's costume designer, Sara Byblow, for season 3.
Warning: Spoilers ahead for Fire Country season 2, episode 10.
"We've already had two fittings," Byblow shared with We before the season finale on Friday, May 17. Thieriot's character Bode is finally getting out of prison after being at Three Rock convict camp for two seasons.
Byblow mentioned that both she and Thieriot, who is 35 years old, are figuring out Bode's style for season 3, which will premiere this fall.
During the mid-season, I was busy creating tons of inspiration boards and sharing them with Max to get his input. It's thrilling to take a character we already adore and bring them to life in a fresh way. We haven't had the chance to do that yet.
In the season 2 finale, viewers got a glimpse into Bode's country roots. He rocks a denim-on-denim look in one scene, showing off his rugged personality. We're really pumped about how his character keeps evolving.
While Byblow said she “appreciates all types” of actors, even those who “don’t care” what they wear on camera, working with Thieriot has been a treat.

Byblow enthusiastically shared, "He has his own opinions and we have been working closely together to determine Bode's direction and style. This collaboration has me feeling incredibly excited."
She further expressed that her job becomes significantly more enjoyable when an actor participates in fittings and exclaims, "Wow, we are shaping this character together."
Byblow expressed happiness that Bode is released from prison, despite the challenges he still faces in his life.
