The investigations of Karl Alberg won’t be coming to an end anytime soon! The Cinemaholic has learned that Fox has renewed the crime drama series ‘Murder in a Small Town’ for its second season. The filming of the upcoming installment will start in Vancouver, British Columbia, on December 1, 2025. Ian Weir will be back as the head writer, with Milan Cheylov returning to direct the episodes.
In the first season finale, Karl and Cassandra reach out to Tommy Cummins to draw a portrait of the finally identified female victim referred to as Jane Doe. Cummins is an art teacher at Devon’s high school. The portrait reminds Sergeant Sid Sokolowski of his sister, who, akin to Jane Doe, was a victim of drug abuse. Meanwhile, the police officers receive a lead from a Los Angeles-based talent agent, Robert Cross, who claims that Jane Doe is, in fact, Sally Dublin, who had a connection with Roger Galbraith, a good friend of Cassandra.
As the finale progresses, Roger Galbraith becomes a suspect when it is revealed that he lied to Cassandra about his whereabouts on the day of Dublin’s murder. However, he is later freed of the potential charges. On the other hand, Devon’s obsession with Cummins takes a dark turn as she mysteriously disappears. The installment concludes with Karl deducing clues from the artist’s paintings to discover that he is a serial killer. The officer then manages to bring him down before he can kill Devon. After the case is solved, Karl and Cassandra reconcile with a kiss.
The second season will pursue a different storyline, and the creator, Ian Weir, has revealed what it will explore. The audience will learn more about Karl and Cassandra’s past, especially since they have reconciled and will likely be with one another. The upcoming installment will have new staff members who will require Karl to have a broader purview while tackling an overarching murder mystery involving multiple murders dating back 10 years. Moreover, the season will also delve into Cassandra’s run for councilwoman, wherein she will lock horns with the mayor, a new character/antagonist. We will get to know Sergeant Sid Sokolowski, Corporal Edwina Yen, and Isabella Harbud better, especially personally.
Considering Weir’s words, the characters who will feature in the second season include Karl Alberg (Rossif Sutherland), Cassandra Lee (Kristin Kreuk), Sergeant Sid Sokolowski (Aaron Douglas), Corporal Edwina Yen (Mya Lowe), and Isabella Harbud (Savonna Spracklin). The returnees may also include Fritzy-Klevans Destine as Constable Andy Kendrick.
British Columbia also served as the filming location for the first season of ‘Murder in a Small Town.’ Other recent projects shot in Vancouver include Hulu’s ‘Under the Bridge,’ FX’s historical drama series ‘Shōgun,’ and Marvel’s ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’
