Murder in a Small Town next episode
Murder in a Small Town is all new on Tuesday, October 1, on Fox at 8 pm ET/PT.
The crime drama show was supposed to air its regular time slot of 9 pm ET/PT this week following its September 24 premiere, but because of the vice presidential debate taking place at 9 pm ET/6 pm PT, Fox opted to move its airing up one hour, which consequently is delaying the premiere of Accused season 2 that was planned for October 1.
In order to watch the show live, you'll need to have access to your local Fox station, which is available through a traditional pay-TV provider, a TV antenna or live TV streaming services like Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV. Those who have cut the cord and/or are willing to wait a day, episodes of Murder in a Small Town should be available to stream on Hulu the day after they air.
Murder in a Small Town plot
Adapted from L.R. Wright's nine-book series centered on Detective Karl Alberg, here is the official synopsis for Murder in a Small Town:
"Murder in a Small Town follows Karl Alberg, who moves to a quiet coastal town to soothe a psyche that has been battered by big-city police work. But this gentle paradise has more than its share of secrets, and Karl will need to call upon all the skills that made him a world-class detective in solving the murders that, even in this seemingly idyllic setting, continue to wash up on his shore."
Ian Weir is the head writer on the series.
