Katheryn Winnick Revisits Vikings and Discusses Plans to Direct Big Sky

Katheryn Winnick is a true powerhouse in the action realm. She’s proved as much with her stunts and fight choreography in Vikings, and now she’s an absolute force playing Jenny Hoyt on Big Sky. At the start of the ABC series, Jenny, an ex-cop, is compelled to get back to work as a private detective after the disappearance of her husband (Ryan Phillippe). Alongside partner Cassie Dewell (Kylie Bunbury), Jenny commits herself to helping the residents of Helena, Montana via Dewell & Hoyt Private Investigations. However, Season 2 sees a career shift for the character. Jenny opts to leave Dewell & Hoyt to wear the badge again, and that winds up putting even more resources at her fingertips while dealing with a drug cartel stirring up trouble in Helena. With Big Sky Season 2 well underway, Winnick took a little time to join us for an episode of Collider Ladies Night to recap her journey from starting a martial arts school at 16 to starring in Vikings and Big Sky!
