Murder in a Small Town Renewed at FOX

Murder in a Small Town Renewed at FOX

Good news for all those small-town murderers!

Murder in a Small Town‘s detectives will remain on the case at  FOX. The Kristin Kreuk-fronted procedural has scored a Season 2 renewal.

The eight-episode freshman season wrapped on the network in November.

“We look forward to giving fans a second season of Karl Alberg’s unmatched expertise as a crime solver in Murder in a Small Town,” EVP of Drama Programming & Development Brooke Bowman said in a statement.

 “We’ve enjoyed a terrific partnership with [producers] Sepia and Future Shack and our incredibly talented cast and crew and can’t wait to see what’s in store for our characters next season.”

Murder in a Small Town’s Numbers Aren’t Great

Murder in a Small Town averaged a modest 3.2 million viewers and a 0.24 rating among adults 18-49 with a week of DVR factored in.

While these numbers would usually spell doom, the series’ price tag pales in comparison to other FOX shows, like the canceled 9-1-1: Lone Star.

Plus, Murder in a Small Town is a co-production, so there was every reason to believe that a deal could be reached to keep it intact for another go-around.

We have to hand it to Kreuk. She’s anchored some of broadcast TV’s least-viewed shows, but they always secure renewals because they make financial sense.

Murder in a Small Town, also starring Rossif Sutherland as Karl Alberg, focuses on a police officer who moves to a small town and catches the eye of a librarian named Cassandra Lee.

The series is based on the novels by L.R. Wright and has managed to capture a small group of very enthusiastic fans.

We see you!

The 2025-2026 TV Season is Taking Shape

We discussed Murder in a Small Town’s renewal earlier this week in our FOX Cheat Sheet, but the network has limited space on its schedule for next season.

The broadcast networks have been slower to renew this season.

Murder in a Small Town joins Universal Basic Guys, Matlock, and St. Denis as renewals for the 2025-26 broadcast TV schedule so far.

More decisions will be made in due course.

But for now, what are your thoughts on Murder in a Small Town’s reprieve?

We know that TV Fanatics, in particular, were really hoping for a renewal.

Does this give you hope for the TV landscape? Let us know down below.
