Recurring players include Sandra Oh, Cherry Jones, Tim DeKay, Janel Moloney, Dallas Roberts, Timothy Hutton, Lili Taylor, Ana Mulvoy-Ten, Mickaëlle X. Bizet, and Clayton Cardenas. In season three, Luis Salazar (Martinez) travels from Mexico to the United States, without documentation. Searching for his missing son, he discovers that modern servitude is thriving in the farmlands.

Telly’s Take

The third season premiered with very poor numbers and they’ve gotten worse. Based on the ratings, American Crime should be cancelled. That said, this TV series has always been a poor performer, yet here it is in season three. Have the numbers dropped too low to be renewed? I think so.
