Fox has finally dropped the first episode of its new mystery TV series Murder in a Small Town, focusing on Rossif Sutherland's detective Karl Alberg and his love interest Cassandra played by Kristin Kreuk. Unlike typical detectives, Alberg prefers using his intelligence and knowledge to solve cases, instead of engaging in intense fights.
In the first episode, Cassandra and Karl meet each other for the first time after they begin online dating. Despite Cassandra's delay in arriving on time, Karl was intrigued by her personality.
Murder in a Small Town was extensively filmed in Gibsons, British Columbia, Canada, and is adapted from the Karl Alberg series of L.R. Wright, known for her famous mysteries and fictional writings.
As the series name suggests, Murder in a Small Town takes place in a small town called Gibsons in British Columbia, where Karl is supposed to solve a mystery.
During the filming of the series, the production team faced notable challenges, yet managed to capture the essence of the small town by using various locations like restaurants and beaches.
