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 like the show. Please keep it on.
Seriously disappointed that Those Who Kill was removed. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they are reviewing a new time slot & not canceling it! I enjoy the cast & see the possibilities of an amazing series. Get involved people, write a post. Let’s see it again. I just got my husband watching & it was out alone TV time~
Keep this show. It is a great show with some depth and interesting characters. Such a difference from the hodgepodge of boring, uninteresting reality shows we are inundated with now.
Bring it back!
I’d really like to see this show come back, I had looked forward to watching it, and after seeing the first two episodes, I was hooked, very disappointed that they took it off air.
love the show chloe rocks as actress – want to more about her character!
I really loved this show….I was so ready for the next episode to come too. I was looking for it monday night….Man this sucks. I hate it when they put a good show on and you get hooked on it….then they pull it like its nothing….Yes I would watch it for sure if they decide to put it back on. Please bring it back….I don’t care what time it’s on just bring it back.
Being the show back
Disappointing !!!
Keep it, much better than the reality shows that take up most of tv anymore.
please reconsider & keep this interesting show on the air! Mon nite was a great lineup w/Bates Motel & then TWK. Catherine is a great character, part wounded bird & part fierce eagle. Putting Bates on at 10 will damage its ratings, in my opinion unless you have a really good lead in and as far as I can see you don’t. Give TWK a fair chance…2 episodes is not fair to the series or your viewers. Shame on you!
After watching “those who kill” I was thinking that tv has really improved. This show is better than most movies that are out lately.
What? Cannot believe you would pull a show with some depth and intrigue just because its not as popular as Duck Dynasty, which my kids watch all the time! Find a new time slot, advertise it more and give it a chance people!
I cannot believe this show was pulled from the lineup! It’s the best show A+E has (or had)! As others have mentioned, I’m sure it would have had more viewers if you had promoted it a bit more…it was a complete (and pleasant) surprise to me when it came on after Bates Motel. Please give this show another chance.
I LOVE the series!!! Very disappointed to see it’s already canceled.. Hopefully they will sell to Netflix so we can watch the series..
