Big Sky season 2 release date, cast, synopsis, trailer and more

Crime dramas, like the sitcom, are the bread and butter of network television. Big Sky, which premiered in the fall of 2020, is a new mystery series that made quite the splash in its freshman season.

The show stars Kylie Bunbury and Katheryn Winnick as a private detective and former cop duo thrown together on a case involving kidnapped girls. The twist in Big Sky‘s pilot episode shocked viewers and it’s been twisting and twisting ever since.

With the season 1 finale ending in a cliffhanger, it’s a very good thing for fans that the show was renewed for a season 2.

Here’s what we know about Big Sky‘s upcoming sophomore season.
