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?
I really enjoy it. It seems to have a lot of substance, I think the network should give it a chance
I really enjoyed the show. Very disappointed that it was put on hold. I do not think people knew about the show. I only found it by accident. please keep it.
I understand that it will be on Life Time Movie Network starting this Sunday.
I really enjoyed the show, I also have to DVR due to work schedule. I would really like to see the un aired episodes..
I would like to see how it plays out…
Keep the show!!! It’s fresh and edgy…unlike the Duck Dynasty stuff you have on this channel. Chloe is amazing and we want to see more!
Really enjoyed the first 2 episodes. As others have said, not the standard cop show, has a totally different look. At 10 pm on Mon’s it’s up against the “Black List”, that’s a tough draw. Would hate to see it cancelled. You’ve got 8 episodes, put it in another time slot and/or day and give it a fair shot. Do some marketing and promote it, I think it will fly.
Bring back “Those Who Kill”; I was really getting into it! Please find another time slot for it
Give it a chance
I recorded it, and my husband and I just watched the 1st episode and really like it. As I checked to see why I only had 1 more episode recorded I googled it to find out why. It’s good don’t cancel it!!!!!
Enjoyed the show. They need to give it more time to get a following.
Give the show a chance! It was very good so far.
I loved the show and was disappointed when the pulled it. I DVR it because I have a toddler. I hope it comes back. I liked that it wasn’t a typical cop show!
I loved this show. It would be nice to be able to see more
I like this show very much. It’s different and interesting, not a carbon copy of so many other cop shows. Of course, because it’s good, it will probably never air again. That’s how it usually goes, isn’t it?
I loved this show. It would be nice to be able to see more. We have to DVR it because we work early hours. Ratings don’t always show all the people that view it.
