Leading the returning cast is Rossif Sutherland, who reprises his role as Karl Alberg, the thoughtful, slightly haunted police chief at the heart of the show’s mysteries. Alongside him is Kristin Kreuk as Cassandra Lee, the town librarian whose quiet strength and hidden past make her one of the show’s most compelling characters. Their evolving romance and moral dilemmas were a big reason Season 1 hooked viewers, and both characters are set to play central roles once again.

Other familiar faces expected back include Karl’s local police team, with supporting officers and town residents reprising their parts to keep the community feel authentic. A few who are expected to return as per TVLine include Fritzy-Klevans Destine as Constable Andy Kendrick, Savonna Spracklin as Isabella Harbud, Mya Lowe as Corporal Edwina Yen and Aaron Douglas as Sergeant Sid Sokolowski. While their episode counts may vary, they help paint the small-town backdrop that makes each murder mystery feel intimate yet unpredictable.
