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?
DON’T cancel this new amazing show…
PLEASE LMN don’t drop “THOSE WHO KILL”. Advertise it; so people know WHERE it moved! It is a really excellent though extremely violent show. But so is “BATES” which only needed word of mouth and time to attract an audience. This show needs the same. Please continue the plan to do another season and let it catch on by its own worth.
I thought it was cancelled , then I found out about this online. So I went to the lifetime movie network site to watch the older sites and they don’t let you watch it if you use dish. what a crock. So now I have to buy them off amazon.com video. a and e is so lame. they could have put it on Saturday nights. or something. they don’t have that many shows they make. lame. lame , lame.
If you have a computer, you can watch online at http://www.mylifetime.com/movies/those-who-kill/video so that you don’t have to pay for them on Amazon, Hulu, etc. Hopefully there has been enough interest to bring back after Season 1. Come on A&E…there are way too many crappy shows on cable. At least this show keeps you on the edge of your seat…
Love Those Who Kill. Do not cancel
My husband and I love Those Who Kill. Please renew for a new season, advertise more if necessary. It is really a great show.
This is the best crime show on TV since Dexter. When I found it had been cancelled after the first two brilliant episodes, I was flabbergasted. Considering all the mindless crap on TV that we have to wade through to find quality productions, I could only conclude that Chloe Sevigny had actually killed someone and was no longer available. That, or the A&E executive who axed the show should be killed for his stupidity.
Amazing. Accidental find. I watch them over and over.
Didn’t even know about the show – just stumbled on it. Love it. Reminds me of “The Killing” which was also fabulous. Flawed characters that make the series that more interesting.
Hope its not cancelled – come on LMN – give it a chance!
Keep the show on. It’s great.
PLEASE, PLEASE DONT CANCEL. Too much canned
laughter..”tell you when to laugh” no brainer sit coms
available already. This series is for people who are
intelligent and can think for themselves.
Watching on Hulu.
This show is akin to watching a multi-car collision; you can’t take your eyes off of it….GIVE IT A CHANCE. Dark, gritty, good acting….NOT for the faint of heart.
I love this drama…………..I think A & E did not give it a chance at all…………..its edgy, dark, gritty, great cast, great storylines, suspenseful with a bit of creep & crawl…………..I love it ………….I hope LMN picks it up ,for a 2nd season or NETFLIX this is a great show to give a chance………….u gave the killing another chance (which I love BTW ) so maybe this one too :):) I would love to see this show continue……………its excellent drama !!!
Totally enjoy the series. Hoping for more. In many ways it reminds me of NBC’s Hannibal, another of my favorites.
I went crazy looking for the third episode when it wasn’t on the schedule. Love these types of tv dramas. And was looking forward to see which direction this show would go. Very upset!!! Going to try LMN see If I can catch back up. Bad choice not giving it a chance
Gets better and better every week. Your can catch past episodes by going to Lifetime’s site http://www.mylifetime.com/movies/those-who-kill/video if you don’t find on TV
