A&E has dropped Chloe Sevigny’s drama Those Who Kill from their schedule after two episodes.
Those Who Kill revolves around homicide detective Catherine Jensen (Sevigny) and academic forensic psychologist Thomas Schaeffer (James D’Arcy) who work to solve crimes in Pittsburgh. Others in the cast include James Morrison, Omid Abtahi, Kerry O’Malley, Bruce Davison, Kathy Baker, Michael Rispoli, and Anne Dudek.
The new detective series debuted to 1.4 million viewers. That was less than half of its lead-in, Bates Motel, whose second season premiere drew 3.07 million. Then, in week two, just 830,000 tuned in to watch Kill.
Now that Those Who Kill has been pulled, the cable channel will shift Bates Motel to the 10pm timeslot. A rerun will air at 9pm.
Though the ratings for Kill have been very poor, A&E hasn’t cancelled it. Though things certainly don’t look good, they reportedly believe in the show and want to find another timeslot where it can build an audience. That day/time will be determined later. There are eight unaired episodes remaining.
What do you think? Do you like Those Who Kill? Will you watch when it returns or, do you think it should be cancelled?
Great show – fantastic acting Almost like a female Dexter
LOVED THE SHOW!!!!!IT WAS DECADENT WILD AND OUTRAGEOUSLY ENTERTAINING!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!! I THOUGHT THE TIME SLOT WITH BATES WAS GREAT. BUT I WOULD WATCH IT AT ANY TIME. VERY DISAPPOINTED IT WASN’T ON 3/17/14. I’LL BE WAITING!!!!!!!!
I was totally into this show and then it disappeared. WTH. A&E didn’t even give it a chance. Put it back on please!
I think it’s a great show. I admit I didn’t watch it live but on my DVR. I do that with most shows. I think it has great potential and couldn’t wait to watch the rest of the season. I go to see if its set to tape and can’t find it anywhere had no idea they had pulled it. I mean after only 2 episodes that’s not giving a show a chance to find an audience. I hope they bring it back and it has the time to find a following.
TWK- Great show…even “BREAKING BAD” had a hard time at the beginning. Give it a chance-bring it back.
Eight unaired shows….Bring em on. It ranks right up there with Blacklist and the likes…maybe it needs better home than a time slot….H.B.O please…:)
This was a great show!! Bring it back.
I am so disappointed to see TWK gone after two episodes. The fact that it was on opposite The Following was the Networks first mistake. It is a well done show with great acting and a movie quality about it. I hope to see it come back in a more appropriate time slot.
Loved “Those Who Kill”. Please bring it back!
Do not cancel this show. It definitely has the potential to be a hit. Give it time, consistency, and a good time slot.
Please bring back Those Who Kill. Love the show & was dissapointed when it didnt come back on.
Love the show!!!! My husband also loved it and he is picky on TV shows. Please do t cancel it!
