- Vandervoort will play Cynthia Grudko, an MMA fighter's wife raising two kids. When her husband Tommy starts experiencing strange symptoms, she fights by advocating for his health - even when his coach might not agree.

FOX's MURDER IN A SMALL TOWN
- Bethany Brown, Marci T. House and Joshua Close will appear in the drama's upcoming second season. Brown previously recurred on ABC's The Good Doctor and CBS' Watson. House recurred on Paramount+'s Happy Face and guest starred on FOX's Alert: Missing Persons Unit. Close recurred on FX's Fargo and next appears in the upcoming Netflix limited series Wayward.
- Brown will play Corporal Laila Jackson, who used to work with Chief Karl Alberg (Rossif Sutherland) in Minneapolis, where she was on the detective track. Personable, outgoing and (outwardly) confident, she comes across as fun and charming - a genuinely sunny presence. She's also a highly talented cop, but she carries baggage. A recovering alcoholic, Jackson has been part of the Gibsons PD for a couple of months and has quickly established herself as a valuable teammate and colleague. But the overload caused by the department's critical understaffing will begin to take a toll threatening to set loose all of her old demons.
- House will play Angela Clyburn, a brisk, brusque and capable medical examiner who works tirelessly and pays attention to detail. Recently single and with a 19-year-old son, she knows Alberg by reputation but has not worked with him until now. The jury is out, as far as she's concerned... until Alberg's methods and his integrity begin to win her over.
- Close will play Todd, a large, unkempt, and ragged unhoused man. His appearance makes him seem scarier than he is. Prone to anxiety and lashing out when backed into a corner, he is actually an avid and insightful reader who spends his time at the local library. A confrontation in town leads to police involvement and the discovery that Todd may have been connected to a violent crime. But was he a witness... or something more than that?
