FOX’s “Murder in a Small Town” Renewed for Season Two

Based on the Edgar Award-winning, nine-book Karl Alberg series by acclaimed novelist L.R. Wright and originally optioned by Soapbox Productions, the drama stars Rossif Sutherland (Reign, The Handmaid’s Tale) and Kristin Kreuk (Smallville, Beauty and the Beast).

Murder in a Small Town follows Karl Alberg (Sutherland), who moves to a quiet, coastal town to soothe a psyche that has been battered by big-city police work. He quickly learns that this gentle paradise has more than its share of secrets, and he will need to call upon all the skills that made him a world-class detective in solving the murders that, even in this seemingly idyllic setting, continue to wash up on his shore.

Murder in a Small Town is produced by Sepia Films in association with FOX Entertainment and Future Shack Entertainment. Murder in a Small Town is produced in British Columbia, with Ian Weir (Arctic Air, Edgemont) serving as head writer/executive producer, and Nick Orchard (Soapbox Productions), Morris Ruskin, and Sharon Wisnia (Mojo Global Arts) and Jon Cotton also serving as executive producers.

We’ve enjoyed a terrific partnership with Sepia and Future Shack and our incredibly talented cast and crew and can’t wait to see what’s in store for our characters next season.”

Jeff Wachtel, CEO of Future Shack commented, “We couldn’t be more excited about our continued relationship with our terrific partners at FOX and Sepia.
