Fear the Walking Dead actor Garret Dillahunt in a new role in Hightown on STARZ
By Renee Hansen
Hightown is an American crime drama that premiered in 2020 on STARZ. The third and final season of the series premieres on Starz on January 26, and Fear the Walking Dead and Red Right Hand actor Garret Dillahunt will star in the upcoming season.
The series is created by Rebecca Cutter, who also executive produces with Gary Lennon, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman, and KristieAnne Reed. The series premieres on STARZ at 9 p.m. ET in the US and Canada and will be available on STARZ app at midnight ET. New episodes will be released weekly for the seven-episode season.
Hightown is set in Cape Cod and tells of Jackie Quiñone (Monica Raymond), a National Marine Fisheries Service Agent. Jackie suffers from alcoholism and drug addiction, which greatly affects her on a personal and professional level as she dives deeper into the drug underworld. She must pull herself back together before everyone she loves and, more importantly, herself are put at risk.
The final season also features the reprisal of roles from previous seasons by James Badge Dale, Riley Voelkel, Amaury Nolasco, Atkins Estimond, and Dohn Norwood. Imani Lewis, Mark Boone Junior, and Mike Pniewski return in recurring roles. With guest appearances this season by Ana Nogueira, Taja V. Simpson, Michael Drayer, Jeanine Serralles, and Kate Miller.
Dillahunt also makes a guest appearance as Shane Frawley, a character he introduced on social media. His character is described as a charismatic and charming gangster from South Boston. While he owns several legitimate businesses across Massachusetts, his intentions to take over the Cape are far from legit. He will become a thorn in drug trafficker Osito's (Estimond) side. Drayer plays Owen Frawley, Shane's nephew, who was kicked from the Red Sox farm team for blatant steroid abuse and casual violence. He is a vicious drug dealer and loose cannon whose bad behavior is enabled by his uncle.
