In Big Sky, Jensen portrays Beau Arlen, a man with a good heart and razor-sharp instincts, who temporarily steps into the sheriff's role. As a close friend of Sheriff Walter Tubb (Patrick Gallagher), Beau will likely aspire to maintain the equilibrium and deescalate various sources of conflict.

In the Season 2 finale of Big Sky, Beau will work in close collaboration with Jenny Hoyt (Katheryn Winnick) and Cassie Dewell (Kylie Bunbury). According to a press release cited by Deadline, they immediately hit it off — so much so that they may choose to seek out ways to keep the lucrative work relationship going beyond the scope of the episode.

"Later, with Tubb out of commission for the time being, a new sheriff comes to town; and after getting fully acquainted with Cassie and Jenny, it seems like he may just stick around for a while," the press release says.

Could this be a hint that he'll end up being more than just a guest star?

Well, turns out, the answer is yes! Just one day after the announcement that Jensen would pop up in the Season 2 finale, it was revealed that he had already been promoted to a series regular. However, per TVLine, he's expected to stick around only for a single season.

Jensen isn't completely unfamiliar with the world of crime dramas and supernatural thrillers. The actor is bound to knock it out of the park. Fans reacted to the news with a great deal of excitement.

"I can't believe it! I binge-watched The Boys. I loved every minute of how unique it was. Then, a few months later, my fave Jensen Ackles is announced. I decided to give Big Sky a try, I like it … low and behold, my guy will be making an appearance!" tweeted @lettistruluv.
