Logan Marshall-Green (How It Ends) joins the second season of Big Sky as a series regular, opposite returning leads Kylie Bunbury and Katheryn Winnick.
The series is based on The Highway series of books by C.J. Box. In Season 2, when private detectives Cassie Dewell (Bunbury) and Jenny Hoyt (Winnick) reunite to investigate a car wreck outside of Helena, Montana, they soon discover that the case may not be as straightforward as it seems. As they unravel the mystery of the accident, their worlds will collide with a band of unsuspecting teens, a flirtatious face from Jenny’s past, and a vicious outsider hellbent on finding answers.
According to Deadline, Marshall-Green will play that person from Jenny’s past, Travis. An old friend of Jenny (Winnick) and her late husband Cody (Ryan Phillippe), Travis has been working undercover on a local drug ring for long enough that the line between Travis and his undercover alias Stone has begun to blur. Travis will cross paths with Jenny, whose new case overlaps with his undercover work. While Travis and Jenny will try to keep their relationship professional, they have a shared history as well as unresolved feelings that will make their partnership both difficult and dangerous.
Marshall-Green is currently filming Anna Foerster’s Netflix feature Lou and can most recently be seen in How It Ends directed by Zoe Lister-Jones and Daryl Wein.
Cast also includes series regulars Janina Gavankar, Brian Geraghty and Dedee Pfeiffer as well as Omar Metwally and Anja Savcic, who have been promoted from recurring to regulars for Season 2, and Jesse James Keitel, a series regular in season 1 who will recur in Season 2.
Newly announced cast members include Jamie Lynn-Sigler (The Sopranos), Madelyn Kientz (The Walking Dead: World Beyond), Troy Johnson (On My Block), Lola Reid (Barkskins), Jeremy Taylor (It films) TV Carpio (Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark) and Arturo Del Puerto (Camping).
Elwood Reid (The Chi, The Bridge, Barkskins) has been set as showrunner for Season 2. He takes over running the show from series creator and executive producer David E. Kelley who will remain as an exec producer and will still be involved creatively.
Production on Season 2 is set to begin in August 2021 and continue through April 2022 in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. A premiere date for Season 2 has not been set yet.
