Fire Country
At Steel City Con in Pittsburgh on 9 August, Jared said he may have a guest role of Fire Country. The show stars Max Thieriot as an incacerated man who is part of the prison's volunteer firfighter program. This was officially announced on 12 August.
Jared will appear in a three episode arc in the third season of the CBS drama in a part written specifically for him. E.P. Tia Napolitano said "The part was written for Jared, very specifically. Jared and Max are buddies, so that helped.” His character, a firefighter called Camden, is described as a "maverick with a surfer swagger who is a force to be reckoned with and immediately recognizes Bode’s raw talent."
Napolitano said of the two characters "I think they're twin flames and similar, and Camden's able to encourage, draw out maybe the dangerous side of Bode, but he sees the talent and leans into it. He doesn't try to put lightning back into the bottle."
Morena Baccarin appeared in a back-door pilot episode in Season 2 for Fire Country for a spin-off series called Sheriff Country. There is speculation that Jared's role is also a set-up for his own series.
