Ratings-challenged Those Who Kill is coming back to television — but it’s not returning to A&E. While the show hasn’t been cancelled, the move isn’t exactly a sign of confidence from the cable channel.
The show revolves around a homicide detective (Chloe Sevigny) and an academic forensic psychologist (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.
A&E pulled Those Who Kill from the schedule after two episodes had aired to low ratings. The premiere attracted 3.07 million but the second installment plunged to just 830,000.
On the show’s Facebook page, it was quietly announced that the Chloe Sevigny series will return this Sunday on LMN TV (Lifetime Movie Network). LMN is a sister network to A&E.
The first two episodes will rerun starting at 8pm. Then, new episodes will air starting at 10pm. There are 10 episodes in the season.
While it’s nice that the remaining episodes will air, it’s unlikely that most fans will know they’re being shown. Many cable subscribers may not even know if they have LMN TV. The ratings will surely be terrible.
This move by A&E feels like they’re just burning off the remaining episodes, a sign that the show has essentially been cancelled already.
What do you think? Do you plan on watching the remaining episodes of Those Who Kill? Do you think the show will be cancelled or, is there a chance it could see a second season?
I like this show and hope they keep it on the air. I agree with the article, in a way. I only found out they moved the show when I realized it wasn’t being recorded and searched for it on the internet. I appreciate lmn showing all the episodes, and, hopefully, they won’t cancel it. But when you want people to watch a show, you’ve actually got to let them know where it’s going (and not just on Facebook).
BEST NEW Show of the year!!!!!!!!!!
Similar to Criminal Minds, but Highlites the Troubled personal
life of the Main character,
Chloe does a FANTASIC job of her character.
Her razor cutting makes my stomach go quizzy every time.
If A&E won’t broadcast this, I hope a Network with TASTE will pick it up!!
Keep up the GREAT work Chloe. Thanks for a GREAT Show
Chloe, I’ll follow you to whatever network you take this Show.
Love it! It’s a great series. Please don’t cancel. We need advertising.
I love this series….there are so many bad series on the air and they keep getting renewed. This series is one of the best on cable. This series deserves to be renewed but it probably will not be…..but the reality shows will. That’s the kind of world we live in now….sad.
Terrific series. I hope it gets another season.
Me too!! Love the show!!!
I love this show and I think it’s sad that shows like this don’t get enough advertisment. I think more people would tune in if they knew it was on the air.
I love this show! Please do not cancel; it hasn’t really even had a chance yet!
It needs more frequent and wider-spread publicity!
Another great show that they won’t even give a chance, but will renew other sh*t that sucks.
Love this show. Much better than Hannibal. Please give another shot
I started watching this show on A&E then it went away. I finally just found it on LMN. I am recording some episodes I missed On Demand and will continue to watch. I found this show to be compelling and smart. Please don’t cancel. The actors are awesome and the story behind it is great.
I love this show. It was so great immediately following Bates Motel. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL. Great acting. However, I didn’t even know that it moved to LMN. thanks for the information. Will catch up on Demand
I think this show is as interesting as some of the other hot shows like The Following. It has the twists that keep you on the edge of your seat and you want to see more! PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL! Chloe Sevigny is oustanding as are the rest of the cast…
We were disappointed when AE dropped it ……glad to see it is on LMM. We will follow all 10 chapters, hope it renews
I will be watching on Lifetime Movie channel, if it is offered by my cable provider. I thoroughly enjoyed the unexpected twists and turns the series provides to the ‘thinking’ viewer. Please keep the Those Who Kill series on the air!
I personally love the show.hope more viewers write in.
Please don’t cancel, I love this series.
Don’t cancel. Better than other shows like it. Better than Hannibal , Red Road etc Chloe is terrific! Maybe too intelligent a plot for most viewers.
