Big Sky closed out its second season with Cassie, Jenny and new sheriff Beau getting friendly as they knocked back some after-work drinks. And to hear showrunner Elwood Reid tell it, Season 3 — which is subtitled Deadly Trails — will be even cozier.

But for whom, exactly? “I’ll leave it for interpretation,” Reid teases, calling Beau (played by new series regular Jensen Ackles) “a very fun, interesting guy — and both of these women find him fun and interesting. As the season progresses, there might be some sparks on one of those sides.”

Viewers will be able to start searching for those sparks when the drama returns on Wednesday (ABC, 10/9c), but Reid warns that you’ll have to look closely… at least at first.

“I’m playing it very open-ended in the beginning. I don’t want to tilt my hand where we’re going,” he tells TVLine. “Suffice to say, all my actors — but particularly Jensen — he’s got chemistry with everybody.”

Dewell & Hoyt multitask

One big change for the Deadly Trails season: Each episode will feature a crime that is solved either by Cassie and Denise at the private investigation office or Jenny and Beau at the sheriff’s department, or some combination thereof. Meanwhile, the season’s overarching mystery will continue to unfold, as well. “And, like all Big Sky stuff,” Reid promises, “all of it eventually ends up being intertwined in some way.” (And expect some late-season additions to the Dewell & Hoyt staff, as well.)

With whom will Beau go?

So, back to Beau and those “sparks.” First, let’s deal with some figures from the sheriff’s romantic past: As we previously reported, Big Sky has recruited Angelique Cabral (Maggie) to play Carla, the ex-wife Beau has admitted he still loves. (“She’s a firecracker,” Reid says with a laugh.) And she, as well as her new husband, Avery (Lost alum Henry Ian Cusick), and Beau and Carla’s daughter, Emily, will be on one of Sunny’s glamping trips when things go sideways.

“It’s fun to play this idea that [Beau] is a guy who truly does love this ex-wife, is in love with his ex-wife, and does really want to be there for his daughter,” the EP says. But does that mean that the new lawman’s easy — dare we say, flirty — rapport with both Cassie and Jenny is destined to stay strictly platonic? Reid’s cagey answer is this:

“Last year, with all of the rollercoaster ride that Cassie took emotionally with the death of her father and her little affair with Lindor, and then Jenny of course with the character of Travis, it’s just… I opted for a slow burn this season. And I leave it to you to see which way that ball is going to bounce.”
