Murder in a Small Town is a cozy-but-crafty crime mystery created by Ian Weir, based on the acclaimed Karl Alberg novels by Canadian author L.R. Wright. Airing on Fox in the United States, it transplants the classic whodunit into the misty, close-knit setting of a Pacific Northwest coastal town, where old secrets have a way of surfacing.
Rossif Sutherland stars as Karl Alberg, a big-city detective who takes the job of police chief in the seaside community of Gibsons in search of a quieter life, only to find no shortage of murders to solve. Kristin Kreuk plays Cassandra Lee, the local librarian who becomes his confidante and love interest, while Aaron Douglas rounds out the core cast; the second season adds Marcia Gay Harden as the town's mayor. Each season builds its central investigation around the fractures beneath a picturesque surface.
The first season premiered in 2024 and proved popular enough to earn a second in 2025 and a subsequent renewal, establishing the show as a dependable, character-driven mystery. Its scenic setting and unhurried, human-scaled storytelling set it apart from flashier procedurals. It streams on Hulu.
