  • New mystery series based on the L.R. Wright book series debuts on Hulu September 25 

Rossif Sutherland stars as Detective Karl Alberg from L.R. Wright's popular book series in Fox's new mystery drama Murder in a Small Town. Alberg, a former big city detective, attempts to find some peace in a quiet coastal town, but soon is called on to use his skills when a body washes up on shore. More drama than Hulu's other hit murder mystery series, Only Murders in the Building, Murder in a Small Town should still provide a chance for amateur sleuths to put their crime-solving skills to the test to try and identify the killer.
