“Murder In A Small Town” Coming Soon To FOX, Hulu & Hulu On Disney+
FOX has announced that a brand new murder mystery series called “Murder in a Small Town” will be coming to screens in the United States this Fall. The show is based on the Edgar Award-winning, nine-book “Karl Alberg” series by acclaimed novelist L.R. Wright, originally optioned by Soapbox Productions, and starring 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’ll quickly learn that this gentle paradise has more than its share of secrets and 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.
Kreuk stars as Cassandra Lee, a local librarian who becomes Karl’s muse, foil and romantic interest. Mya Lowe (My Life with the Walter Boys, Yellowjackets), Savonna Spracklin (Two-Spirit Odyssey, Wildhood), Aaron Douglas (Battlestar Galactica, The Watchful Eye) and Fritzy-Klevans Destine (The Boys, Superman & Lois) recur in the series, which also features special guest stars James Cromwell (Babe, Succession), Stana Katic (Castle, Absentia), Paula Patton (The Perfect Match, Precious) and Noah Reid (Schitt’s Creek).
“Murder in a Small Town” is produced by Sepia Films in association with FOX Entertainment and Jeff Wachtel’s Future Shack Entertainment.
This series was filmed in British Columbia, with Ian Weir (Arctic Air, Edgemont) serving as head writer/executive producer, Milan Cheylov (24, The Cleaning Lady) executive-producing and directing multiple episodes of the program, and Nick Orchard (Soapbox Productions), Morris Ruskin and Sharon Wisnia (Mojo Global Arts) and Jon Cotton also serving as executive producers.
The series will have a special 90-minute series premiere on Tuesday, 25th September 2024, at 8:00-9:30 PM ET/PT on FOX, with it also being made available the following day on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+ on Wednesday, 26th September 2024. Then, from Tuesday, 1st October 2024, the series will move to its regular time period at 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT, with new episodes available the following day on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+.
Because FOX has only acquired the US distribution rights to the series and FOX has an output deal with Disney for next-day episodes, the show will be unlikely to arrive on Disney+ outside of the US.
