Final summer season, it was introduced that Jared Padalecki was becoming a member of Season 3 of Fireplace Nation, and it was an enormous deal! To this present day, he’s one of many greatest names to affix the solid of the CBS drama, and his character Camden has the potential to spin off into his personal present. Now, I’ve been questioning if the Supernatural star will return in the course of the second half of the fireplace procedural’s junior season, and showrunner Tia Napolitano has opened up in regards to the actor’s future on the present.
Now, take a deep breath of us, and put together for the not-ideal reply. Throughout an interview with TV Insider, Tia Napolitano confirmed that Jared Padalecki is not going to return as Camden this season. So, as Fireplace Nation Season 3 finishes out its run on the 2025 TV schedule, we’ll be with out the brand new captain, because the showrunner defined:
We gained’t see him this season, however the door’s positively not closed. He was only a delight of a human, only a fantastic particular person and an exquisite actor. And that character was so enjoyable. I believed he actually introduced one thing particular to the present.
Sigh…so no extra Casey Camden this season. That’s a bummer too, as a result of I actually dug the battle between him and Bode that led to each of them rising. Plus, I actually need to know extra in regards to the captain, the family members he misplaced on the job and his life in SoCal.
I’m additionally barely dissatisfied about this as a result of I do know Max Thieriot and Padalecki are friends in actual life, and the function of Camden was written particularly for the Walker star. So, there’s a private connection there. The character was created particularly for this actor, and I believed he was nice within the function throughout his three-episode arc on Fireplace Nation.
Nonetheless, whereas it’s not superb that he gained’t be again throughout Season 3, that doesn’t imply he’s gone for good. Actually, he most likely isn’t. Like Morena Baccarin’s Sheriff Mickey, a by-product may very well be in sight for Padalecki and his firefighter Camden.
So cross your fingers and knock on wooden that each one this occurs.
I adored Camden’s little arc on this season of Fireplace Nation. He introduced a completely new vibe to the present, he helped Bode’s story as a free man advance, and it launched us to an excellent fascinating and complex character. So, right here’s hoping that his spinoff will get confirmed or this SoCal firefighter returns within the early episodes of Season 4 (if it will get renewed), as a result of I’d wish to see him again sooner quite than later.
Whereas we look ahead to extra Jared Padalecki on Fireplace Nation, you possibly can return and watch his three episodes from Season 3, that are episodes 5, 6 and seven particularly, with a Paramount+ subscription. In the meantime, to see what occurs subsequent in Edgewater, you possibly can catch the second half of Fireplace Nation on Fridays at 9 p.m. ET on CBS beginning January 31.
