Reacher has featured various stars over the course of its two seasons and 16 episodes (with moreto come in season 3), including Kristin Kreuk. But the Amazon Prime Video action crime TV series wasted Kreuk’s talent, and, thankfully, the actress has a new series on the horizon that will thrust her into the spotlight. Whereas Kreuk was only a recurring member of the Reacher season 1 cast, she is set to star as a series regular in the upcoming Fox crime drama.
Kreuk is most known for her role as Lana Lang in the WB superhero drama TV show Smallville, which served as an origin story for Clark Kent/Superman. Lana was one of Clark’s main love interests, and Kreuk was a series regular up until season 8 in 2008. Following her run on Smallville, Kreuk went on to star in Beauty & the Beast on the CW and Burden of Truth. Now, the actress is playing a main role in an upcoming crime drama on Fox after briefly appearing in Reacher season 1.
Reacher Season 1 Failed To Fully Utilize Kristen Kreuk
Kreuk Played Charlie In The Amazon Series
Kristen Kreuk starred as Charlene “Charlie” Hubble, Paul Hubble’s wife, in Reacher season 1. The actress only appeared in four episodes, and her character was mostly just portrayed as a clueless housewife who couldn’t do much to help herself. Essentially, Charlie was a nonfactor in Reacher season 1’s story, which is disappointing given Kreuk’s talent and versatility. Kreuk has played many strong female characters in the past, and Reacher failed to give the actress a role of the same caliber.
Fox’s Murder In A Small Town Gives Kreuk A Strong Female Lead Role
Kreuk Stars As Cassandra In Murder In A Small Town
Thankfully, the tide is turning and Kristen Kreuk is seemingly returning to her roots with Murder in a Small Town, which premieres on September 24, 2024, on Fox. Kreuk stars as Cassandra, a librarian and one of the main characters, in the upcoming crime drama. While not much is known about her character, it appears that Cassandra is a strong female lead based on the show’s trailer alone.

Murder in a Small Town follows Rossif Sutherland as Alberg, a detective in a small town (Gibsons, British Columbia, Canada). Even though Kreuk’s Cassandra is expected to be Alberg’s love interest, the trailer suggests that her character is more than just that in the story. So, Murder in a Small Town should redeem Kreuk’s underwhelming role in Reacher season 1.
