CBS is hot for firefighter dramas.

Damon Wayans Jr.’s Two Shakes Entertainment, the actor’s production company with Kameron Tarlow, is developing with CBS Studios a New York-set firefighter drama titled Ten House, Deadline reports.

Written by Pilar Golden (God Friended Me, Beyond Black Beauty), the series is set at the titular FDNY engine and ladder company, which was established in 1865 and is now located across from the 9/11 Memorial and World Trade Center site.

Per the official synopsis, “At the iconic FDNY Ten House, two rookies grapple with their legacies as children of 9/11 first responders while navigating burgeoning feelings toward one another, the firehouse’s well-trained yet formidable veterans, and the demands of emergency response in the ever-changing yet always challenging city of New York.”

CBS of course already has Fire Country entering its third season this fall, with Supernatural alum Jared Padalecki set to guest-star as Camden Casey, a “maverick” SoCal firefighter who might be spun off to lead his own series. (Sheriff Country, the Morena Baccarin-led Fire Country spinoff already ordered to series for the 2025-26 TV season, revolves around, well, sheriffs.)

CBS’ Fire Country was the No. 9 most-watched returning drama last TV season, while NBC’s Chicago Fire landed at No. 3 on the same list. ABC’s 9-1-1 first responder drama was last season’s No. 7-rated entertainment program.

Wayans Jr.’s Two Shakes Entertainment is also a producer on Poppa’s House, the new CBS sitcom on which he stars this fall with his father Damon Wayans. It premieres Monday, Oct. 21 at 8:30/7:30c, following The Neighborhood Season 7 and leading into NCIS Season 22.
