Monica Raymund and Rebecca Cutter on ‘Hightown’ Season 3: ‘We’re going out with a bang’

The crime drama Hightown tells the story of Jackie Quiñones, a National Marine Fisheries Service agent struggling with drug and alcohol abuse. Played by Monica Raymund, Jackie, according to creator Rebecca Cutter, came to her in a “fever dream.” Over a video call from Los Angeles, USA, Rebecca says, “I just knew that that character could be the centre of a show. I also don’t know anything about Provincetown, so Rebecca was my leader there, teaching me about the area and living there.” Talking percentages Jackie is a complex character with relationship troubles and the struggle to stay sober, all the while dealing with a risky, high-pressure job. She’s trying to figure out what her purpose is, sometimes making mistakes along the way.” Elaborating on the similarities between herself and Jackie, The Good Wife actor says, grinning widely, “Well, she likes to party and so do I. Jackie is constantly trying to figure out her true self. It’ll be satisfying to see where everybody ends up.” Saying goodbye to the fair people of Hightown will be bittersweet, says Rebecca.
