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 was a great series/season. It really captures Pittsburgh as well. We crave a Season 2.
BRING BACK THOSE WHO KILL FOR A SECOND SEASON…..ok how bout this. Bring it back damn it
Please don’t cancel the show. We love the show and hope to be able to see the rest of the segments.
Love the show. I hope it does get to air and continue (more seasons). Love it. I think it is well written, intelligent. I like that the murders are solved through some episodes and not just one.
Please don’t leave us hanging. Great show with rich characters!!
This is one of the better shows on TV at the moment. I can’t believe that they are considering cancelling it! The networks promote the worst junk and leave a gem like this one without publicity.
LOVED IT!!! I stumbled onto this series & recorded all available episodes via On Demand. However, the only ones I saw were 7,8 & 9. I’d love to see the Pilot as well as Episodes 1-6! Please don’t cancel this series, I’m dying to see what happens!! And btw, the acting is incredible – worthy of awards! The writing is highly intelligent & has me riveted to the TV. Everyone from the writing to the acting should be nominated for every possible award. Thank you for finally putting such an intelligent program on – KEEP IT ON!!!!
You can see all shows on Amazon Instant Video…worth it!
Please don’t cancel this series! The acting & story lineS are both superior! I have watched all episodes & just finished the final 10th episode. It is so edgy and unpredictable (well, unpredictably predictable). If you haven’t watched it it’s on Amazon for $2.60 an HD episode. If you like detective & cop suspense THRILLERS you will love/hate this series! WATCH IT & like it on FB.
Just found this great show!!! Smart writing, brilliant acting & incredibly entertaining. Why would this be cancelled?? Did the network not advertise it enough?? Please put Season 2 on & maybe show Season 1 again.
This is a brilliant show; from the writing to the acting. Advertise the hell out of it & you won’t even think of taking it off the air.
Just found this great series – absolutely LOVE it!!!!! The series needs to be put out there more – people must know how great this is – AND what channel & time they can see it!!! I’m hooked on this series, all actors are incredible & the writing is superb!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE let everyone know about thus great show!!!
Love this show!!! I really like the former head of ‘CTU’ 🙂 Can’t wait for more!
Love love this show. Never miss it and have turned several friends on to the show. I see Chloe Sevigny has signed to do a new show so I know Those who kill wont be back…Sad
I love the show, hopefully LMN will not cancel the show. I also know a bunch of ppl from my work that watch those who kill.
I love this show, and would so disappointed if it does end being cancelled! I think it’s terrific, and I can’t understand the poor ratings. But moving it to another network is bound to kill it off — how is anyone supposed to know it’s still on? I wouldn’t if I hadn’t looked it up to see if it will continue.
I truly hope that this show will survive…it is very good and I am really drawn into the story and the characters. I like it that Chloe Sevigny’s character is so complex and multi-dimensional…very compelling.
Good. Maybe it will be advertised. I’ll watch it on LMN.
