Fox Renews Murder in a Small Town; O.J. Simpson Netflix Docuseries

Fox Television Network renewed its psychological "cozy crime" series Murder in a Small Town for a second season. Based on the Edgar Award-winning, nine-book Karl Alberg series by acclaimed novelist L.R. Wright and originally optioned by Soapbox Productions, the drama stars Rossif Sutherland (Reign, The Handmaid's Tale) and Kristin Kreuk (Smallville, Beauty and the Beast).

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. He quickly learns that this gentle paradise has more than its share of secrets, and he 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.
