KEY POINTS

  • "Big Sky" returns in January 2021
  • Jenny and Cassie continue to search for the missing girls
  • Fans can expect to watch an uninterrupted run of 11 more episodes

“Big Sky” episode titled “A Good to Die,” ended with a massive cliffhanger, which served as a great winter finale for the show, leaving fans clamoring for more. However, ABC’s latest action-thriller is currently on a hiatus due to the festive season and will return with its highly anticipated Episode 6 next year.

“Big Sky,” which debuted in November, became a hit among the viewers with its twisted storyline, with fans recalling how the show killed its lead character Cody (Ryan Philippe) in the pilot episode.

The show follows the kidnapping of Sullivan sisters Grace and Danielle, and Jesse, a transfeminine sex worker. Private detectives Jenny Hoyt (Katheryn Winnick) and Cassie (Kylie Bunbury) come together to find the sisters and their kidnapper, who might be behind several unsolved kidnappings of young girls in the town.

Ronald Pergman (Brian Geraghty), the kidnapper, had been able to keep the girls in the hiding for so long with the help of a corrupt Montana Highway Patrol officer Rick Legarski (John Carroll Lynch). However, things are about to change for Ronald when the show returns.

Despite moving the girls from their original hiding place, Ronald’s plan may hit a snag after finding out that Rick was shot dead by Cassie during a standoff. Nevertheless, the show is all about unexpected twists and turns. There are about 11 more episodes left in the series that is based on C. J. Box’s novel “The Highway” and developed by the maker of the “Big Little Lies” David E. Kelley. Hence, fans can expect the unexpected during the midseason premiere.

Speaking on The View, Winnick promises a storyline that is “very suspenseful.” She goes on to say that the show remains “twisted in so many different ways.”

“Not only is the storyline very suspenseful, and you don't know what's going to happen, it's a thriller from the core of it...It definitely will surprise you, and there is definitely a lot more shock coming up,” Winnick said.

Winnick previously hinted the show will continue to adapt other novels by the author as it progresses.

Meanwhile, the show is yet to release the official synopsis for the next chapter of the series. However, the network confirms that the show returns with Episode 6 Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2021, on ABC.
