Jensen Ackles, 45, had also joined the show as newly appointed sheriff Beau Arlen.
The drama received low ratings during its most recent season.
Cancelled: ABC has canceled crime drama Big Sky after three seasons. Low ratings, the cost of production, and rumors of on-set tension were reportedly some of the reasons why the show won’t get a fourth season.
The network ordered only 13 episodes for season three, five fewer than aired for the first two seasons.
Rumors of on-set tension and production costs also seem to have led to the demise of the series.
Big Sky joins Hilary Swank’s Alaska Daily and Milo Ventimiglia’s The Company You Keep, both of which were canceled by the network.
Neither Katheryn nor Kylie has commented on the news.
According to her Instagram, Katheryn has been to Ukraine to attend the UNITED24 conference.

“I was overwhelmed by the devastation in Irpin, Ukriane, when I visited the area with United24,” the Vikings actress wrote on May 10.
“Seeing it with my own eyes made me realize how much families are suffering. All lives are important.’
