'Murder in a Small Town' renewed for season 3, Peter Gallagher joins cast

Fox renews 'Murder in a Small Town' for season 3 with Rossif Sutherland, Kristin Kreuk, and new cast member Peter Gallagher. 10 episodes ordered.

"We love bringing this cozy and delightful mystery to Fox fans, and we're thrilled Murder in a Small Town has continued to resonate with our audience. - Brooke Bowman"

Washington DC, May 8

Fox has renewed 'Murder in a Small Town' for a third season, with returning leads Rossif Sutherland and Kristin Kreuk are being joined by Peter Gallagher, according to Deadline.

The upcoming season will consist of 10 episodes and will see returning leads Rossif Sutherland and Kristin Kreuk reprise their roles. Filming for season 3 is already underway.

Based on the nine-book series by author L. R. Wright, the show follows Karl Alberg, played by Sutherland, a detective who relocates to a quiet coastal town after years of stressful big-city police work. There, he begins a relationship with local librarian Cassandra, portrayed by Kreuk, according to Deadline.

In the new season, Gallagher will portray Rod Finlayson, described as a charismatic yet unreliable man whose arrival at the Gibsons marina aboard his beloved boat sparks a series of disruptions affecting both Alberg and Cassandra.

The series, produced by Sepia Films in association with Fox Entertainment and Future Shack Entertainment, has emerged as a reliable performer for the network.

Fox executive Brooke Bowman praised the continued success of the mystery drama and expressed excitement over the new season.

"We love bringing this cozy and delightful mystery to Fox fans, and we're thrilled Murder in a Small Town has continued to resonate with our audience," said Brooke Bowman, EVP of Drama Programming and Development, Fox Television Network.

"We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Sepia Films and Future Shack on Season 3, alongside our exceptional cast led by Rossif Sutherland and Kristin Kreuk and soon to include the incomparable talent of Peter Gallagher as their newest adversary," Bowman added, according to Deadline.

The show initially began as a direct adaptation of Wright's novels but has increasingly shifted toward original storylines featuring the same central characters.

Gallagher is widely known for his work in films such as American Beauty and Short Cuts, as well as television series including Grace and Frankie, Grey's Anatomy and The O.C., according to Deadline.

Honestly, I'm happy for the fans but I wish shows like this would explore more diverse settings. Every small-town mystery drama feels the same - a quiet coastal town with quirky locals. Still, Sutherland and Kreuk have great chemistry, so maybe season 3 will surprise us. Let's see how the new character shakes things up!

This show is so underrated! The way they adapted L.R. Wright's books into something fresh is commendable. My mom and I watch it together every week - it reminds her of the Agatha Christie stories she grew up with. Peter Gallagher joining is like adding a cherry on top. Season 3 can't come soon enough! 🎉

I appreciate the cozy mystery genre but I hope season 3 doesn't rely too much on the same formula. The first season had some genuinely surprising twists, but season 2 felt a bit predictable. With Gallagher on board, maybe they'll add more depth to the storytelling. Fingers crossed for some real character development this time! 🤞

As someone who's read all of L.R. Wright's books, I was initially skeptical about the original storylines. But honestly? The show has carved its own identity beautifully. The setting of a coastal town in British Columbia is so refreshing - reminds me of our own hill stations and seaside towns in India. Peter Gallagher is going to be fantastic as the unreliable newcomer! 🇨🇦🇮🇳

I miss the days when shows like this would have 22 episodes per season. Only 10 episodes feels too short
