Fire Country fans can rest easy as showrunner Tia Napolitano has confirmed that Season 3 will pick up where the dramatic Season 2 finale left off. One of CBS' most popular shows, known for its intense storylines and emotional character arcs, will return without a time jump on Friday, October 18, meaning viewers will soon get answers to all the burning questions left over from the previous season.
“We're doing a direct arc,” Napolitano revealed to TVLine, “so at the end of the Season 2 finale, we're going to get all of the answers that everyone's been waiting for.” That means that all of the cliffhangers that had everyone on edge in the Season 2 finale will be picked up right from the beginning, like Gabriella and Diego's wedding. As viewers may remember, Season 2 ended with the couple standing at the altar, leaving everyone wondering if they were really going to say “yes.”
