Get ready for more small-town mystery and big-name guest stars in “Murder in a Small Town” Season 2. Fox’s procedural-romance hybrid stars Rossif Sutherland (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) as soft-spoken former big-city cop Karl Alberg, who takes on the role of police chief in the idyllic coastal town of Gibsons. But the would-be paradise has secrets, mysteries and just so many murders per capita that challenge his skills as an investigator, while his teenage daughter and a budding romance with the local librarian, Cassandra Lee (Kristen Kreuk) keep him busy at home.
Season 2 sees Marcia Gay Harden (“Mystic River”) join the cast as the Gibsons mayor, alongside Mya Lowe (“Yellowjackets”), Savonna Spracklin (“Wildhood”), Aaron Douglas (“Battlestar Galactica”) and Fritzy-Klevans Destine (“The Boys”).
