Is Jackie way out of her depth? Is Starz’s TV drama Hightown Season 3 canceled or renewed?
Hightown is a traditional American criminal drama series with a unique twist.
Here’s what we know so far about Hightown Season 3 release date, plot, cast, and trailer.
What is the Plot of Hightown?
Rebecca Cutter, Gary Lennon, Jerry Bruckheimer (Top Gun Maverick), and Johnathan Littman created and produced the series. Starz TV’s inaugural season was an instant hit, with the series breaking audience records across many digital platforms.
Cutter and Raymund and Oscar-nominated cinematographer Rachel Morrison (Mudbound, Black Panther), Brandon Sonnier, Radium Cheung, Antonio Negret, and Eagle Egilsson directed episodes of season two.
The show is about the drug war, drug use, and addiction, which are intertwined with a murder mystery. The first and second seasons do an outstanding job of establishing the narrative tale, and viewers can’t help but wonder if a third season will be produced.
Jackie Quinones, a National Marine Officer who enjoys booze, drugs, and crazy parties, is the show’s focus. When she independently investigates the cause of the dead woman, she uncovers a washed-up dead body of an opiate addict (Sherry Henry), which makes her question her lifestyle.
Krista, Sherry’s best friend and a former addict witnessed her murder. Following then, the program follows the standard investigation and crime thriller formula. The trauma of these incidents drives Jackie to seek sobriety.
They realize, with the help of Interagency Narcotics Unit agent Ray Abruzzo, that unraveling the murder mystery will be difficult and time-consuming.

In Season 2, the idyllic image of summer on Cape Cod collided with the reality of the off-season. According to the synopsis, Jackie Quinones (Raymund) is on a mission to make the world a better place by achieving her dream of becoming a genuine cop.
When Jackie is thrust into the lethal carfentanyl crime wave sweeping the Cape, she is dead set on bringing down drug dealer Frankie Cuevas (Amaury Nolasco), the guy she blames responsible for the death of her closest friend, Junior.
It’s personal for Jackie, but then again, everything is personal for Jackie.
When Frankie’s cousin Jorge (Luis Guzmán) joins his organization, he brings an entirely new level of violence and chaos. After disgraced officer Ray Abruzzo (James Badge Dale) is fired and dejected, Jackie finds a new partner in Leslie (Tonya Glanz), the only other woman on the force.
Throughout it all, Jackie must maintain her sobriety as she tries to stay afloat in a sea of secrets, betrayal, guilt, and failure.
What will happen next is surely something Hightown fans need to look forward.

The dramatic drama received good reviews from critics, who praised the outstanding acting and gripping storyline. Fans of the Starz crime drama have had a bumpy road.
