Reunited on Screen: Kristin Kreuk and Erica Durance in 'Murder in a Small Town
Fox's "Murder in a Small Town" features Kristin Kreuk alongside a variety of guest stars, with hopes of her former "Smallville" co-star Tom Welling making an appearance. The show, based on L.R. Wright's novels, follows police chief Karl investigating mysterious murders with the help of others, including his girlfriend Cassandra. Season 1 included guest appearances from James Cromwell, Stana Katic, Devon Sawa, Paula Patton, and Noah Reid. Kreuk also reunited with her "Smallville" co-star Erica Durance on the show, marking a long-awaited collaboration between the two actresses.
Kreuk expressed her excitement about working with guest stars on "Murder in a Small Town," including her efforts to bring Tom Welling on board. She and Durance had been discussing working together for years, and the opportunity finally arose with the show shooting in Vancouver, where they both reside. The onscreen reunion between Kreuk and Durance was a highlight for both actresses, who had limited scenes together during their time on "Smallville."
Before their collaboration on "Murder in a Small Town," Kreuk and Durance appeared on "Smallville," a popular series that followed the early days of Clark Kent. Kreuk played Lana Lang, while Durance portrayed Lois Lane. Despite occasional reunions at fan conventions, the actresses had been eager to work together on a project, making their collaboration on the new show a serendipitous opportunity.
Looking ahead to the next season of "Murder in a Small Town," Kreuk and Sutherland are excited to delve deeper into character storylines and explore the political dynamics within the local community. With a strong ensemble cast and intriguing guest star roles, the show promises to continue delivering compelling storytelling and engaging performances. "Murder in a Small Town" returns to Fox on Tuesday, September 23, at 8 p.m. ET.
