Peter Gallagher is the season-long guest star in Murder in a Small Town’s third season, now in its final month of production in Gibsons BC.
Gallagher plays Rod Finlayson, a charismatic, uber-independent, capable yet unreliable figure, whose arrival at the Gibsons’ marina on his beloved boat sets up a sequence of upheavals that Karl Alberg (Rossif Sutherland) and Cassandra Lee (Kristin Kreuk) will have to grapple with.
Adapted from characters in L.R. Wright’s Alberg Mystery series, Murder in a Small Town follows big city cop Karl Alberg, who moves to the small town of Gibsons to become its police chief and is surprised to find there is more drama than expected in this quiet coastal community.
After hitting it off with local librarian Cassandra Lee, Karl struggles to balance his romance with his job of solving murders, especially after Cassandra is elected to the local council.
The season 2 finale saw Cassandra becoming the interim Mayor of Gibsons and Karl proposing. Will she accept?
We knew that we really had to take Karl and Cassandra’s two-season-long relationship story to a place that would feel climactic but would also be a springboard into, should we be so lucky as to get a third season, open up a dynamic for stuff to explore in the third season — showrunner Ian Weir to TV Insider.
Murder in a Small Town is filmed in Gibsons and other locales on BC’s Sunshine Coast.
