Schitt's Creek's Noah Reid to Lead 'Sheriff Country' Medical Spinoff Series for CBS | Just Jared

Noah Reid will be guest starring in an upcoming episode of the CBS series Sheriff Country as part of a plan to launch a medical-focused spinoff series with him as the lead.

The Schitt’s Creek actor, 39, will be playing Dr. Hudson “Hud” Henshaw in one episode of Sheriff Country season two, according to Deadline.

The character is described as “the Chief of Emergency Medicine at Edgewater Memorial Hospital a/k/a ‘Edge Med.’ Charming and quick-witted, but rough-around-the-edges, Hud was born and raised in the outlaw hinterland known as Deadwater. He is the proud son of convicted felons, yet refused to take the family’s drug money to pay for medical school. He is a passionate doctor who embodies his oath to ‘first do no harm,’ yet is not one to shy away from a good bar fight. A man deeply committed to the community he grew up in, he is a restless soul all the same.”

Deadline reports there was a “lengthy casting search” for the role and Noah eventually landed the party. He’s best known for playing Patrick on the series Schitt’s Creek and he recently starred in the Prime Video series Outer Range and AMC’s The Vampire Lestat. He’ll next appear in the Crave series Yaga.

The proposed spinoff series, currently known as Edge Med, is in development at CBS.
