He explains that similar to what happened with Omar Metwally - who, as TVLine reported, is no longer a series regular thanks to scheduling conflicts - Keitel has been busy with work on Queer as Folk and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. “And, like all Big Sky stuff,” Reid promises, “all of it eventually ends up being intertwined in some way.” (And expect some late-season additions to the Dewell & Hoyt staff, as well.)Īny chance we’ll see Jesse James Keitel return to play kidnappee-turned-investigator Jerrie? “Yes. Meanwhile, the season’s overarching mystery will continue to unfold, as well. One big change for the Deadly Trails season: Each episode will feature a crime that is solved either by Cassie and Denise at the private investigation office or Jenny and Beau at the sheriff’s department, or some combination thereof. “She’s an unbelievable person and an amazing creative partner.” “It’s just a dream come true,” Reid says. And after a phone call with the Grammy winner herself, he had his Sunny Barnes. But when he pitched the character to the network, he was encouraged to try for the Reba star. Oh, and by the way, Reid thought he didn’t even have a marshmallow’s chance at a campfire in getting McEntire on his show. She’s someone who will do things that are villainous, but she has a reason why she’s doing them.” He chuckles. “The way I described her was a mama bear that is not afraid to go a little crazy once in a while. “She’s a woman who has a family that she’ll do anything to protect,” the EP tells TVLine. But Reid clarifies that she’s a much different creature than, say, Ronald in Season 1. Make no mistake: Sunny Barnes, played by series newcomer/country music superstar Reba McEntire, is the season’s villain. Read on for a sampling of what Big Sky is serving up in Season 3!

And we haven’t even started talking about what Beau’s ex-wife has to do with any of it! As Cassie is called in to look for a missing backpacker, Beau and Jenny start tracking a murder case. Isn’t there a crime to solve? When we pick up a few months after the events of the Season 2 finale, a new business called Sunny Day Excursions - run by an aggressive outdoorswoman named Sunny Barnes (new series regular Reba McEntire) - is the engine behind some pretty hinky business up in the wilderness outside Helena. “Suffice to say, all my actors - but particularly Jensen - he’s got chemistry with everybody.” I don’t want to tilt my hand where we’re going,” he tells TVLine. “I’m playing it very open-ended in the beginning.

Viewers will be able to start searching for those sparks when the drama returns on Wednesday (ABC, 10/9c), but Reid warns that you’ll have to look closely… at least at first. As the season progresses, there might be some sparks on one of those sides.” And to hear showrunner Elwood Reid tell it, Season 3 - which is subtitled Deadly Trails - will be even cozier.īut for whom, exactly? “I’ll leave it for interpretation,” Reid teases, calling Beau (played by new series regular Jensen Ackles) “a very fun, interesting guy - and both of these women find him fun and interesting. They can say that the stab wound was not fatal and send Cassie undercover in her place to find out information that the police never would and to tempt the killer out of hiding.Big Skyclosed out its second season with Cassie, Jenny and new sheriff Beau getting friendly as they knocked back some after-work drinks. With no leads, no suspects, and no clue to Lexie’s real identity, Cassie’s old undercover boss, Frank Mackey, spots the opportunity of a lifetime. The dead girl’s ID says her name is Lexie Madison, the identity Cassie used years ago as an undercover detective, and she looks exactly like Cassie. Then Sam calls her to the scene of his new case: a young woman found stabbed to death in a small town outside Dublin. She transferred out of the murder squad and started a relationship with Detective Sam O’Neill, but she is too badly shaken to make a commitment to him or to her career. 19, at 7 pm, at the Larry Chimbole Cultural Center, 38350 Sierra Highway.Īs The Likeness begins, Detective Cassie Maddox is still trying to recover.
