The former CMA Entertainer of the year took to Twitter to comment on her casting saying: “So excited to join @BigSkyABC next season!”
Season 2 of Big Sky began airing in September. The series is adapted from the novel The Highway by C.J. Box. Series two follows private detectives Cassie Dewell and Kenny Hoyt as they continue to investigate a car wreck outside Helena, Montana. Along the way, they collide with a new list of suspects, an old flame of Hoyt’s, and a vicious outsider hellbent on finding answers.
A release date for season three has not yet been revealed.
