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?
This is one of the best shows on TV/Cable! They need to promote it better! I stumbled across it and became hooked immediately. The story lines are great, the dialog is smart and I love the way they peel away at the layers of Thomas and Catherine’s lives slowing revealing the reasons for their individual darkness. I hope they give this one a chance and bring it back
Love the show acting is terrific, keeps you on the edge of seat. Hope it is not cancelled.
Pleeeeeease bring it back for another season. I want to know who shot who at the end of episode 10! I love this show.
This show is too good to be cancelled! Better advertising would certainly help as there have been many shows that started slowly and ended up being a hit. LMN: please bring back for Season 2!
I hope LMN runs a second season! I love it so does my husband! Surprised that more don’t watch it!
I’m surprised that this show doesn’t have a better following. Should’ve been better promoted.
This is my favorite new show. Found it by accident. It is the best new show on television and far and away the best psychological drama – even better than The Following, The Blacklist, Dexter, Hannibal, etc. which deal with similar subject matter. Please put some money into ADVERTISING this show! The audience is out here for it, trust me. You need to just let people like me know about it. Most will not accidentally stumble across it on their own.
Brilliant show. I saw the original Danish show, so when I saw it had been redone in English, I was right in there.
Love this show ! Please don’t cancel
LOVE the show. I never see it advertised, so people don’t know about it. I just stumbled upon it and love it.
This is one of my favorite shows — one of the most intelligent programs to date. Please don’t cancel!
I think the show is terrific. Feels so real and I empathize with their characters.
They better not cancel Those who Kill!!! Love, love that show….we want more!!
This is my favorite show. I really hope they rethink this and renew next season.
I love this show. I noticed early on that it wasn’t recording so I found it On Demand and have been recording it on LMN. But really. What kind of viewership do they expect when they change networks without a peep?
Those who kill is great!!!
