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?
How many incredible shows had slow starts???? And, if they’d been pulled the world would never have seen them….remember Six Feet Under? Breaking Bad? The Killing? This show needs to be SEEN – people will follow.
those who kill was a kick ass show put it back on\
Loved the show! intelligent, well-acted, intriguing , entertaining. Would love to see more!
The two episodes were very good, give it a chance
A&E u never fail to piss me off!! I loved that show! Please post when it will be on so we can see the rest if it!!
This show was going to be one of my “new” shows!!! My husband and I really loved it and looked forward to more episodes!
I absolutely love the 2 episodes I have have watched of the series Those Who Kill. I sure will be disappointed in A&E if they cancel it. I think it has the potential to be one of the best series out there. A&E needs to advertise the show more and have these stars visit Ellen and Jimmy Kimmel shows so they can build a following. Please advertise when the next show will air, what time date etc. I had to google search to try to find out why the show number 3 did not air. This show is way better… Read more »
We really liked the show! Reminded us of shows we enjoy on Netflix that were originally run on BBC.
It’s a great show!!! Don’t pull it.

Great show!!!!
Why try to kill an intriguing show. Wow! You hooked me and left me dangling.
Give the series a chance because to the intricate emotional depth.
liked the first show a lot, I thought the stars were great
I really liked the show. Bring it back
Please bring the show back. It wasn’t the “run of the mill” kind of show. I was captivated from the beginning & can’t wait to find out more about the characters. I’ve tried to watch several other “popular” series on other stations but they are so hum-drum, cookie cutter, & boring. This is an intriguing show, give it a chance.
This is a great show! It has you glued from the first minute playing! Please add show back to schedule…SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
