Will Jules Latimer remain in Fire Country?

Jules Latimer will remain in the cast for Fire Country since her character remains alive. However, there might be a caveat. The show's executive producer Tia Napolitano has revealed that a main character might be dying.

"We have life-or-death stakes baked into the show, and we’ve been gentle with the death side of that coin. We are going to lose someone who we love a lot. It’ll come as a great shock," Napolitano told TV Insider.

However, even though Eve might have survived the first season, there is no guarantee that she might live to the end of the series. However, until that happens, Julie Latimer is on for the ride.
