BIG SKY is a huge hit for ABC. The network has added more episodes to Season 1 after an initial 8 episode order. New episodes begin Tuesday, April 13th. This is the first time that Deede Pfeiffer has worked with her producer brother-in-law, David E. Kelley.

Fans across the nation and abroad are tuning in every Tuesday night and in case they miss it, during the week on HULU to see what comes next on the Montana based series that features kidnappings, murders, a serial killer, human trafficking and just about everything you would never want to see in a beautiful mountain town but none the less love to see every week on television. Pfeiffer plays the role of Denise Brisbane, the office manager of a rural detective agency. Fans of the show know that amidst much chaos and confusion, Denise is the voice of reason who often defuses the hot headed detectives who react with plenty of passion and emotion.

"Pfeiffer, who is Kelley's sister-in-law, will play Denise Brisbane, the brash office manager at P.I. firm Hoyt and Dewell who does her best to keep the peace amongst her colleagues while simultaneously exemplifying someone you wouldn't want to mess with. She's part psychologist, part Den Mother, and always the biggest presence in the room." -Nellie Andreeva, Deadline

Where has Pfeiffer, the former Cybill and For Your Love star been for the last 10 years? She took time off to raise two sons as a single mother along with going back to school to earn a Masters Degree in Social Work from UCLA. The tv actress hopes to join her celebrity and shine a spotlight on chemical addiction, mental illness and homelessness. Pfeiffer herself has been very vocal about her own addiction and recovery to encourage others to find their own path to treatment and wellness.
