Big Sky wrapped its third season earlier this week, and now viewers are wondering if a fourth season of the crime thriller series is in the cards. If the show is renewed, will it feature Jensen Ackles? He played the town sheriff on the ABC series, and the actor says that his character’s future could take two different directions. He could stay put where he is or return to his former home in Houston to deal with his past.
Also starring Katheryn Winnick, Kylie Bunbury, Dedee Pfeiffer, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Reba McEntire, and J. Anthony Pena, the ABC series follows the investigations of private detectives and police in Helena, Montana.
Ackles spoke about the series’ third season finale and its potential future. He said the following about the possibility of his returning for a fourth season, per TV Insider:
“I don’t know. They haven’t even picked up the show yet for Season 4, so I don’t know if anybody’s coming back for Season 4 yet. That’s above my pay grade. But if they do decide to pick up a Season 4 — which I would hope they would, I think the show’s really great, and I think it’s got a lot of story left to tell — I don’t know. They had me for one season. They were probably like, well, let’s just bring him in for one, and we’ll see how it goes, and then we’ll go from there. So they’re waiting to hear what happened with the show, and then they’ll probably talk to [showrunner] Elwood [Reid] and try to figure out what to do with the characters, those that are returning and those that they want to return.”
The Big Sky season three finale also offered a little nod to Ackles’ former series, Supernatural. His character gave Cassie salt for her new house, so she’s protected — “from demons” as she remarks. He said the following about the nod in another interview with TV Insider:
“I can’t remember if that was in the script because it was so long ago. I think it was an ad lib — because I did a few different versions of that. That was one thing that they kind of encouraged me to do was do one scripted, and then if I’ve got some ideas, I can ad-lib some stuff. Not changing the script, but just changing a word here like that, for instance, I’ll just throw it in. It’s not gonna change the scene at all. It’s not gonna change the moment. It’s not gonna change anybody else’s dialogue, but it just kind of keeps it fresh. I got to do that quite a bit this season, which is a lot of fun. And I think that that was just an ad-lib that I think that I threw out there. [Laughs]”
What do you think? Do you want to see a fourth season of Big Sky on ABC? If the show is renewed, would you like to see Ackles return?
Yes bring it back for a 4th and 5th season, love love this show.
The is so good and Jenson adds a great addition n chemistry to the show. He does have a great personality in all his roles. Also he is so easy on the eyes!
Yes! Big Sky for a 4th and 5th season! Such a good series! And Jensen Ackles is a big yes too!
Yes big sky is a good show please bring it back
Great show, hope it is renewed
Ready for the next season, MINUS CHARACTERS SUNNY, BUCK, AND AVERY. They’re necessary evils on such storylines, but I’m ready for their departure and the next new villains to play their parts. Guess we’ll see if other viewers feel watching is as interesting as I do
Yeeesss bring it back for season 4!!!
Oh yes, please bring back this show. We all love it and can’t wait each week to see it!
Big sky is my new favorite show! Please renew for season 4 and PLEASE renew with Jensen!!!!
Please bring this show back for a 4th season. It is excellent
Yes, Big Sky is one of my favorite shows and I hope they return for several more seasons. Yes definitely bring back Jensen Ackles. I love his & Jenny’s relationship as well as Cormac & Cassie and Donno and Jamie’s character. They add a lot to the show.
Love this show! Hope Big Sky returns and Jensen Ackles does as well.
Also, just wanted to point out that this article is incorrect about the Season 3 finale containing the Supernatural reference where Jensen’s character gives Cassie the salt for her new house and such. This reference actually happens in Season 3, Episode 2 (“The Woods Are Lovely, Dark and Deep”).
Thought I would point this out for all my Supernatural homies who want to see the episode with the reference that was mentioned in the article!
S3 was okay. It is better when “Loose Ends” are tyed, writers keep their word about returning Actors, most of all don’t bring new Actors that don’t improve the Show such as Reba and return Actors as you promise. I am so glad that I finally realized that the Show is really about 3 women who make up an EXCELLENT INVESTIGETIVE TEAM.
I love Big Sky. There has to be another season! Jensen Ackles has to return. Jenny deserves some love in her life. I want to see Cormac and Cassie’s relationship grow too!
Love the show, but don’t get where a southern girl fits into the story. Let Reba do what she does best………………..sing!!
