The HBO series “Big Love,” chronicling the lives of a fictional polygamous Mormon family, will move its cast from Utah to Washington. The new season, which begins Jan. 10, will show the nation’s capital for multiple episodes.

Actress Sissy Spacek will play a lobbyist who is determined to set herself as a fixture in patriarch Bill Hendrickson’s life. In September, actor Bill Paxton, who plays Hendrickson, and actress Chloe Sevigny, who plays one of Bill’s wives, were filming scenes in town, DCist reported.

{mosads}The Washington setting could perhaps be due to the fact that Hendrickson is set to run for Senate this season.
