Fox Renews ‘Murder in a Small Town’ for Season 3 as Peter Gallagher Joins Cast
The 10-episode season will add Peter Gallagher as a new series regular and continue the mystery drama’s run on Fox.
On Thursday, Fox announced it renewed the crime procedural "Murder in a Small Town" for a third season, adding actor Peter Gallagher to the cast as a series regular.
The renewal follows a successful second season that saw an 11% increase in its 7-day multiplatform audience, as Fox continues its strategy of adding recognizable talent on one-year deals.
Gallagher will portray Rod Finlayson, a charismatic and capable figure whose arrival at the Gibsons marina initiates significant upheavals for leads Detective Karl Alberg and librarian Cassandra Lee.
Fox will unveil its full 2026-27 programming slate at an upfront presentation on May 11, with the drama remaining a collaboration between Sepia Films, Fox Entertainment, and Future Shack Entertainment.
This series joins fellow dramas "Doc," "Best Medicine," and "Memory of a Killer" on the network's schedule for next season, solidifying Fox's focus on mystery content.
