Big Sky is back on ABC with their latest season, Deadly Trails. The thriller series set in Helena, Montana, has many of the same familiar faces from season 2 with some exciting new additions whose characters are full of mystery. Here's a character guide to everyone you'll expect to see throughout Big Sky season 3.

Texas native Jensen Ackles is starring as the new sheriff in town, Beau Arlen.

Ackles is best recognizable for starring in the WB/CW drama Supernatural for 15 years.

Katheryn Winnick really hit it big when she landed the role of warrior queen Lagertha on Vikings. The martial arts expert has been starring as cop turned P.I. turned cop Jenny Hoyt since Big Sky season 1, and she's back again, working with Beau and Cassie to uncover the mysteries of the deadly trails.

Recognizable for her roles on various Netflix series as well as the shortlived Peacock adaptation of Brand New World, Kylie Bunbury has starred as P.I. Cassie Dewell since the beginning of the series. This season she's got one heck of a mystery ahead of her and potentially a new romance as she looks into the case of a missing backpacker.
Dedee Pfeiffer - Denise Brisbane

Who doesn't love the charming Denise Brisbane, who works at the Private Detective agency run by Cassie? Dedee Pfeiffer is another cast member who's been on Big Sky since day 1, and we're hoping she doesn't go anywhere anytime soon.

Former Sopranos star Jamie Lynn Sigler joined the Big Sky cast in season 2 as Tonya Walsh, a former waitress looking into the disappearance of her boyfriend. She even gets involved with the cartel, which made the previous season a wild ride. Her recurring role was upped to a main cast member in season 3, where Tonya is now a real estate agent who seems to be mixed up with the wrong people again.
Ryan O'Nan - Donno

Country superstar Reba McEntire joined season 3 as Sunny Barnes, a local business owner trying to make sure her glamping trip goes off without a hitch. It's a different role for the award-winning singer who has starred in her own sitcoms outside of her music career as well as comedies like Tremors in the past. In Big Sky, she definitely doesn't have her hands clean when it comes to all of the missing people surrounding her camp.
Rex Linn - Buck Barnes

Roseanna Arquette hardly needs an introduction. The actress has been in a slew of TV shows and films over the years ranging from the sitcom What About Brian to the cult classic film Pulp Fiction. She joins the latest season of Big Sky as Jenny's estranged mother, Gigi. She says she's looking to reconcile, but there might be more to her motive than meets the eye.

When we first meet Paige, it seems like she's just another guest glamping at Sunny's campsite with her boyfriend Luke, but she has a lot more going on. She and Luke are visiting from New York, where they seemed to have gotten into serious trouble. You'll never guess what they're hiding...
Anirudh Pisharody - Luke
