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?
We found Those Who Kill riveting and will tune in when it returns to A&E!
I LOVE THIS SHOW–PLEASE BRING IT BACK,
I can’t believe you took this show off the air. It was an excellent show, every bit as good as Bates Motel. You really need to rethink your folly here!
How can you pull a show after 2 episodes? I didn’t even see a great deal of advertising to build up an audience prior to the first show. I called played the 1st episode for at least 4 people ( I had recorded it). They all loved it and watched or recorded the 2nd episode. We all agreed that it was great. My grandmother use to call television the “Idiot Box” and A&E is proving her right. What IDIOT made this decision? Bring the show back, give it a chance. Wow….
Amc needed to promote the show like bates motel. I just did not see the network selling this great show. Bring it back.
I cannot believe that you take off a good show without giving it a decent chance….come on give it a chance, I was getting very interested! PLEASE!
Bring it back for Pete’s sake. The story line was just starting to unwind and you ax it? Real nice ;/ Way better than most of the goofy reality junk on most of the time. UGH!
I was really loving this show… Even though there were only a couple of episodes . I think it was way to early to pull something so soon! Give it a chance!
Bring it back! Just getting interesting. They did not give it a chance!! (PS why do I have it listed as a Lifetime show in my DVR list?)
Oh man!!! A&E get serious here. You can not give up this show so soon, is looking great to me!!!! Moving it’s time slot maybe a mistake also!!!
I enjoyed it for what I saw, 2 episodes does not give a show justice, that’s for sure.
I was looking for this show to come back on. I was looking for it on OnDemand and could not find it. I can’t believe they would cancel it after the second showing. I really liked watching Bates Motel and this show back to back. Who ever made that call was not thinking straight. Bring Those Who Kill back! Duck Dynasty sucks!! I was really upset when the 3rd eps did not come on. It was nice to get away from reality TV for a while.
I too was looking for the show and couldn’t find it. I’ve had it with reality shows. When an actress as good as Cloe Sevigny does a drama as good as Those Who Kill , it is stupid to take it off or cancel it.
How can you cancel a show after only 2 episodes it’s unfair to the viewers please bring it back I thought it was a great show.
Great show…I was also watching it in Europe….Must bring it back…give it a chance…Bates Motel will soon get old …Those who Kill is realistic…Big mistake A&E!!!!
I really liked the show. I did not like Sevigny much but enjoy the show a great deal and am ready to watch despite her. Give it a bit more of a chance and keep it after Bates Hotel. Both are very good shows! I would much rather see this than hour after hour of Duck Dynasty.
