Fox renews “Murder in a Small Town” for a third season. The network orders a new 10-episode installment, continuing the show’s run in the cozy crime genre. Returning leads Rossif Sutherland and Kristin Kreuk are set to reprise their roles for Season 3. Fox also announces that Peter Gallagher will join the series, with the actor cast as a season-long character arc. Gallagher is described as Rod Finlayson, a charismatic and highly independent figure who arrives at the Gibsons’ marina and is characterized as capable yet unreliable. Across the announcements, Gallagher’s role is presented as a series regular and part of the broader Season 3 storyline, rather than a one-off appearance. The renewal and casting news come through multiple outlets covering Fox’s decision to continue the series for another season. The details provided focus on the renewal, episode count, main returning cast, and Gallagher’s participation as a new character.
