    Hit Fox TV Show Renewed for Season 3 With Major Cast Addition
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    Fox has officially renewed one of its hit crime drama TV shows,
    more than five months after wrapping up its 10-episode second
    season. Titled Murder in a Small Town, the series is coming
    back for a third season, with lead stars Rossif Sutherland and
    Kristin Kreuk returning as Karl Alberg and Cassandra Lee.

    Who is joining Fox's Murder in a Small Town Season 3?
    Per Deadline, Fox has also tapped The O.C. vet Peter Gallagher
    for a series regular role in Murder in a Small Town Season 3.
    He will be playing the character of Rod Finlayson in a
    season-long arc. This marks Gallagher's first major TV project
    as a regular in a long while, after 2020's Zoey's Extraordinary
    Playlist. Further details about the new season's plot are still
    under wraps.

    According to Rod Finlayson's full character description,
    "(He is) a charismatic, uber-independent, capable yet unreliable
    figure, whose arrival at the Gibsons' marina on his beloved boat
    sets up a sequence of upheavals that Alberg and Cassandra will
    have to grapple with."

    Murder in a Small Town is based on L.R. Wright's British
    Columbia-set crime novel series. The show also stars Aaron
    Douglas, Savonna Spracklin, Cassandra Sawtell, Dakota Guppy,
    Paloma Kwiatkowski, Alisha Newton, and more. It is
    executive-produced by Ian Weir, Amanda Tapping, Morris Ruskin,
    Sharon Wisnia, Tina Pehme, Kim Roberts, Jeff Wachtel, and Jared
    Berenholz, with Nick Orchard serving as a producer.

    "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," Fox Television Network executive
    Brooke Bowman said in a statement. "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."

    Fox does not get credit for the renewal as it buys the show as foreign programming. Not only had Global announcd its renewal in March, the show
    had been back in production in February. It must have wrapped production
    by the time Fox made its announcement.

    I've read nothing about Marcia Gay Harden returning.

    According to Rod Finlayson's full character description,
    "(He is) a charismatic, uber-independent, capable yet unreliable
    figure, whose arrival at the Gibsons' marina on his beloved boat
    sets up a sequence of upheavals that Alberg and Cassandra will

    Sounds like he's playing his usual character.
