Season 2 of Hightown will introduce us to four new players. Crystal Lee Brown, Cecil Blutcher, Carlos Gomez, and Barbara Weetman join the Starz series in a recurring role. They will star opposite series regular Monica Raymund. Set in beautiful but bleak Cape Cod, 'Hightown' follows one woman's journey to sobriety, overshadowed by an unfolding murder investigation. Season 2 of Hightown picks up about six weeks after the events in the Season 1 finale, around Halloween, in Cape Cod’s desolate, cold but still achingly beautiful off-season. The tourists are gone, and all of our characters are in a different place compared to where they were at the beginning of Season One. The weak are now powerful, and the powerful are now weak. But beyond that, there is darkness beneath the surface of all of our main characters, particularly Jackie and Ray. Both have shadow sides of their personality — holes in their souls that they try to fill with drugs, alcohol, women, ambition and work. There’s a new terror on The Cape, and it may be its greatest White Whale yet. READ: Essence Atkins, Michelle Mitchenor, Gary Dourdan Join First Wives Club Season 2 Brown will play Janelle.
