Our favorite crime drama series is back with another power-packed season, and we honestly couldn’t ask for more! Yes, Big Sky season 2 is coming up. We can assure you that things will get crazier this time, with some of the most spine-chilling twists and turns that are sure to leave you amazed.
We can figure this out by the intensity shown in the first season. People who earlier watched the first season know that this show isn’t afraid of taking risks. At first glance, it gives the vibe of a typical detective story that follows the lives of two detectives, Cody Hoyt and Cassie Dewell, who solve crimes together and are also seen sharing a romantic relationship. We also have Cody’s ex-wife Jenny in the picture, who freelances for Cody’s agency as a detective.
The series put a hook on the fans when a major twist happens in the first episode. We won’t spill any more beans. The first episode completely changes the audience’s perspective about the entire dynamic of what the show could have been. We feel like that’s the biggest feature of being the ideal thriller television series that you have no idea what will happen next.
Before the first season of Big Sky even ended, the series was renewed for the first season because viewers were going insane at the intriguing thriller story. We can expect an insane storyline from the second season because one thing is for sure this series serves beyond our expectations.

Final Words On Big Sky
While fans are delighted to hear that their favorite crime drama series detectives are back yet again to solve some of the most unexpected mysteries, the chemistry portrayed by the two main leads in the show, Cassie and Jenny, is something that pulls us back after every episode. The flashbacks Cassie gets with her husband adds an emotional element to this series. This makes the show all the way more interesting.
The trailer of the new episodes features Cassie and Jenny attending the funeral of Joseph Dewell. It was an emotional moment for Cassie as she couldn’t process her father’s death. Jenny helps Cassie figure out his killer, and we can’t wait to experience a revenge story focused on women.
It is crucial to present women-centric series like Big Sky to show the younger generation that women can do everything. When they are adamant about taking revenge, you will get a hard time.
In my lifetime, I have watched many police drama/mystery shows like NYPD Blue, Blue Bloods, Cardinal, Coroner, Clarice and many more!
BIG SKY is #1 So far in my books!
This is a show that continually keeps you guessing and wondering where the next turn/twist is going to take you. And then when you guess you know what is going to happen, you are wrong because it goes in a different direction that you would never think of. incredible writing and directing! I am very glad that the show is continuing and 2022!
One other show that was cancelled last year was called “CARDINAL”. If David E Kelley could get his hands on that show to continue it including the same actors/actresses, I know he wouldn’t make it another hit just like BIG SKY. Keep up the amazing work, Linda
I like the show but it’s a darn shame that Ryan Philippe only lasted the first episode what a waste of a good actor and this is a getting a little bit far-fetched in big sky they need to be a little bit more realistic
