“County Rescue exemplifies our commitment to uplifting content that celebrates faith and family in an engaging way,” Great American Media president and CEO Bill Abbott said in a statement. “The series highlights the heroism of EMTs and first responders, focusing on their character development and inspirational stories rather than solely on life-threatening incidents. The exceptional talent of our cast, producers and directors are the driver of the show’s success, and they make it a pleasure to announce the renewal for a second season.”
County Rescue is executive produced by JD DeWitt and Shawn Boskie.
