Who is Sleeper Hadley on Fire Country?

As mentioned already, season 2 of Fire Country saw the return of all the actors from the main cast, along with a few new additions. Some from the recurring cast also made a comeback. Notable among them is Grant Harvey, who returned as Sleeper Hadley in the second installment of the show.

Sleeper has been an interesting character to observe throughout the series. In the show's first season, the audience was introduced to the character. Hadley arrived at the Three Rock Con Camp, where he crossed paths with his former cellmate, Bode Donovan.

As it turns out, the two were closely related during their time in prison in Lompoc, California. The duo used to deal with drugs during their time in Lompoc prison. However, since then, Bode has changed his ways, but Hadley has remained the same.

Even after being transferred to Three Rock Con Camp, Sleeper continued delving into his past ways of drug trafficking. Realizing that Bode Donovan no longer supports his endeavors, Hadley formed alliances with some camp peers. He did so and turned some of them against Donovan. On multiple occasions, he also attempted to physically harm Bode.

This constant threat to his life invoked worry and anger in Bode, who finally revealed Hadley's wrongdoings to Captain Perez. The two are then reprimanded and sent back to the prison.

In season two, Donovan and Hadley engage in a knife fight until an earthquake occurs. Bode saves Sleeper from being crushed and, in turn, asks him to confess his crimes and help him get released from prison.


Season 2 of Fire Country is currently airing on CBS. The widely popular action drama series returned with its second installment on February 16, 2024, at 9 p.m. ET.
