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.

The flashbacks Cassie gets with her husband adds an emotional element to this series. This makes the show all the way more interesting.
