- Noah Reid will guest star in two upcoming episodes of CBS's 'Sheriff Country,' which will function as a backdoor pilot for a potential spinoff set in the same universe
- Pending a CBS greenlight, Reid would become a series regular on the prospective medical drama, which would join 'Sheriff Country' and 'Fire Country' as a third show in the franchise
- If greenlit, the spinoff will follow a team of healthcare professionals in Edgewater, Calif., with Reid playing Dr. Hudson 'Hud' Henshaw, chief of emergency medicine at Edgewater Memorial Hospital ('Edge Med')
- The official character description paints Henshaw as charming and quick-witted but rough-around-the-edges, born in the outlaw area of Deadwater, and the proud son of convicted felons who refused family drug money to pay for medical school
- Reid is best known for playing Patrick — the love interest of Dan Levy's David — on 'Schitt's Creek,' with additional credits including Amazon's 'Outer Range' and AMC's 'Interview With the Vampire'
- Reid is repped by Andrew Olson at Circle Management & Production and Pam Winter at GGA
Why it matters: The backdoor pilot gives CBS a low-cost trial for a third entry in its 'Country' franchise, and locking in Reid — a 'Schitt's Creek' breakout — as a potential series regular reduces the spinoff's casting risk if CBS greenlights the medical drama.
