FOX ORDERS PSYCHOLOGICAL CRIME DRAMA “MURDER IN A SMALL TOWN,” FROM FUTURE SHACK ENTERTAINMENT AND SEPIA FILMS, STARRING ROSSIF SUTHERLAND AND KRISTIN KREUK, FOR 2024-25 SEASON
Original Series Based on L.R. Wright’s Acclaimed Novels Reflects FOX Entertainment’s Ongoing Strategy to Identify Premium Programming Via Original Productions from International Studios
Continuing to deploy its strategy to identify premium content by working with international studios on creating new and innovative business models, FOX has commissioned the psychological crime drama, Murder in a Small Town, from Executive Producer/Head Writer Ian Weir (Arctic Air, Edgemont) and Sepia Films in association with FOX Entertainment and Jeff Wachtel’s Future Shack Entertainment, for the 2024-25 season.
Based on the Edgar Award-winning, nine-book “Karl Alberg” series by acclaimed novelist L.R. Wright, and starring Rossif Sutherland (Reign, The Handmaid’s Tale) and Kristin Kreuk (Smallville, Beauty & the Beast), Murder in a Small Town will be produced in British Columbia, with Milan Cheylov (24, The Cleaning Lady) executive producing and directing multiple episodes of the program. FOX has acquired all U.S. rights of Murder in a Small Town, which will be executive produced by Nick Orchard (Soapbox Productions), Morris Ruskin and Sharon Wisnia (Mojo Global Arts) and Jon Cotton.
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. But this gentle paradise has more than its share of secrets, and Karl 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, a local librarian who becomes Alberg’s muse, foil and romantic interest.
