Big Sky—Tuesday, November 17, at 10:01 p.m. ET on ABC
Twists and turns are around every corner in gripping series premiere, written by executive producer and showrunner David E. Kelley. While on a road trip to visit her boyfriend in Montana, Danielle (Natalie Alyn Lind) and her sister Grace (Jade Pettyjohn) are kidnapped by a truck driver on a remote part of the highway. Their disappearance sets off a chain of events that leads private detectives Cody (Ryan Phillippe) and Cassie (Kylie Bunbury) to team up with Cody’s estranged wife, former police officer Jenny Hoyt (Katheryn Winnick), to find Danielle and Grace. When they discover the sisters aren’t the only ones missing in the area, it becomes frighteningly clear they’ve just stumbled onto something much bigger.
