Popular crime series spotted filming in southern Ontario town

A popular crime TV series was filming in an Ontario town this week.

Milton was transformed for filming of the U.S. series Sheriff Country, Downtown Milton BIA posted on social media.

“Downtown Milton? Not today! Our Main Street became Edgewater County, California, as filming for Season 2 of Sheriff Country took over town,” the post reads.

Wildwood Bookstore and Market became the Edgewater State University Bookstore for the show, Downtown Milton BIA said.

Sheriff Country, a spinoff of Fire Country, stars Morena Baccarin as straight-shooting sheriff Mickey Fox, the stepsister of Cal Fire’s division chief Sharon Leone (Diane Farr of Fire Country).

Fox investigates criminal activity while she patrols the streets of small-town Edgewater, contending with her ex-con father, Wes (W. Earl Brown), who is an off-the-grid marijuana grower, and a mysterious incident involving her wayward daughter, the Paramount + description reads.

The first season of Sheriff Country was number 15 in Nielsen’s multi-platform viewing ranking with over 10 million viewers.

Filming on the series is slated to continue in the Greater Toronto Area until Feb. 12, 2027, according to Ontario Creates.

The first season was also shot in the Greater Toronto Area with many downtown scenes shot in Milton. Chudleigh’s Blossom Café and St. Paul’s United Church were spotted in scenes from the first season.

Milton residents seemed to have enjoyed the return of Hollywood.

“Love seeing Milton in the spotlight! Can’t wait to watch and recognize the local spots,” one person said on Instagram.

“This is so fun!!!! So proud of our locals being a part of it!” another person said.

Milton Downtown BIA also welcomed the spotlight.

“Big thanks to the cast and crew for bringing some Hollywood magic to our downtown, and to everyone who came out to visit our local shops along the way!” they said on Instagram.

Filming in the Greater Toronto Area is in full swing this summer with over 15 productions scheduled, according to Ontario Creates.

Last week, crews were spotted filming Beach Read in Mississauga.
