‘The Killing’ Is Cancelled… Again

Briefly: The Killing fans (which I definitely am one of), you had to have seen this one coming.

AMC has announced their decision not to renew acclaimed crime drama The Killing for a fourth season. This, of course, is the second time that the series has been cancelled, the first time being after a steady ratings fall during the show’s second season.

The network states that “Fox Television Studios is extremely proud of all three seasons of The Killing. We’re especially gratified to have orchestrated a unique deal with AMC for season three that included a bold partnership with Netflix. While we would have loved to produce a fourth season for AMC, FTVS is immensely grateful to everyone involved with this moving series: our brilliant cast, led by Mireille Enos, Joel Kinnaman and season three’s Peter Sarsgaard, our stellar executive producer, Veena Sud, a remarkable writing and producing team, and a tireless, dedicated crew. Most of all, FTVS thanks the terrific fans of The Killing, who communicated their appreciation for the show throughout its run.”

It’s sad news for sure, especially after watching the fantastic almost-didn’t-happen third season. At least the show was resurrected once though, right?
