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?
love ,love love this show!
Please bring back those who kill for a second season it is a very intriguing series with great acting and thought provoking plots we truly enjoy it we recommend it to all our family lmn we are now watching much more of your programming all because of the series those who kill thank you for your time
love it, only was able to tape the first two episodes. I would like to watch it on Demand.
I’m really disappointed in A&E for pulling Those Who Kill. Thankfully I found I airing on LMN. I absolutely love the intricate plot lines with multi-levels in character development. Personally I found it more refreshing than Criminal Minds – the “air” of the show is much more gritty and haunting (kind of like Pittsburg itself) without being overly graphic (like the Killing on AMC). With the last episode due to air next week, I’m really hoping that it will be back for another season.
I love this show and was so excited that Lifetime relaunched it. Please bring this show back. It has a good storyline. I love the relationship between the two main characters. Don’t let this end like other shows that were never given the chance to shine.
It is certainly not like Criminal Minds but I liked it and am very disappointed it was pulled. I hope they change their minds and renew it.
One of the better shows on TV – Great Drama- Great Entertainment-
I sure hope it is not cancelled – Always leaving you wanting more!!
This is a great show! The actors are top-notch and the storyline is riveting. Don’t cancel it, just give it a better time slot.
I love this show. I think it’s one of the best new series on cable. I look
forward to watching it every week. I hope it is renewed for another season.
WHY would you cancel this EXCELLENT show and keep duck dynasty?? If you want to draw an audience you should advertise this show on other networks by showing a preview. You can’t expect people to flock to a show without knowing about it first!! I was so bummed when I saw it wasn’t on anymore! Many good shows had shaky first seasons but went on to become winners, and you pulled the plug after only 2 shows! It doesn’t make sense. Give it another chance with some strategic advertising – PLEASE!
Who ever is in charge at A&E or Lifetime should bring this show back for a second season. This is a great show!!!! Give it a chance to get other people to watch it and I am sure they will all love it. BRING “Those Who Kill” BACK FOR A SECOND SEASON!! Every episode was a 10 for me. The acting is by far the best I have seen and that goes for the story as well. I want to see where Catherine Jensen goes after season 1.
We loved this show. We were on the edge of our seats the first 30 mintes on episide 1. We are very bummed this show was cancelled. I even told friends to watch it. We hope it comes back.
Really enjoyed the show and hope it continues! So disappointed when it didn’t. Monday was finally looking up for movie night! First Bates Motel then Those Who Kill!
I was searching A&E online for days trying to find out where the show went. I was hoping for the next episode.
I’m thrilled to say that LMN will be showing the series ‘Those Who Kill’ starting Sunday, March 4 at 9 and 10pm central. Hurrayyy!
I thought this show was very good and was looking forward to a new episode. Very disappointed that A&E yanked it.
