ABC's hit crime thriller 'Big Sky' will return this fall and the latest season, now in a third run, will also have a new title. 'Big Sky: Deadly Trails' will kick off from the events of the Season 2 finale. 'The Boys' and 'Supernatural' star Jensen Ackles will play Sheriff Beau Arlen.

Created by David E Kelly ('Big Little Lies') and based on the book series by CJ Box, 'Big Sky' premiered in 2020 and was one of the hit shows alongside 'Station 19' and 'Grey’s Anatomy'. The show's ratings rose after it introduced Ackles in the penultimate episode of Season 2. Gwyneth Horder-Payton, Paul McGuigan, Matthew Gross, Ross Fineman, and Elwood Reid serve as the Executive producers alongside Kelly and Box.
