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 was hooked after the first episode and was happy that it was not cancelled. I do not have LMN but I get it and many many more shows from Share TV. Check it out, you will be glad you did and it is free!! Enjoy
I just ran home to see if I could catch this new (to me) series, only to find it absent from my TV. And I do have LMN. I had neither seen nor heard of this TV show until I stumbled upon it quite by accident about 4 weeks ago. I saw one episode and the next week saw another. I was hooked! Now I find that its future is uncertain. I’m surprised by the seeming lack of promotion for this stellar show. If it ceases to run, I will be disappointed.
I love this show, just happen upon it one night there was no avertings for this show. I got all my friends involved and we all love it. Can,t wait for it to get back but do let us know where to find it.
I love this show, I found myself honestly intrigued from the first episode. watched it on amazon and continued to buy the remaining episode. each show left me enticed an wanting more. I really want to know what happens with the pedophile Howard, I can not believe how everything played out it was a dramatic ending and I definitely want to see season two.
i love this show and i hope it doe snot get cancelled. I am glued to my tv every week and on hulu.
This show is awesome. It was poorly promoted and wasn’t given a chance! I wish another network would pick it up, promote it…it would be a hit for sure.
This show should be on one of the main channels such as ABC, CBS, or NBC because it is top notch. It is better than what they are showing now on main channels. It is good enough to be on a prime time type channel. It can compete if put on a more popular channel. I looked forward to watching this every week. Love it.
Fantastic show. Should be left alone. Not like other cop shows that get boring after a few showes.
PLEASE DON”T CANCEL!! I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!! Really looking forward to a second season!
Don’t get it! Why good great show always get cancelled? Of course I’ll watch all shows! And still hope they’ll get back to their sense and they will restart the serie
Love this show. Don’t cancel.
i want to keep watching this show please dont cancelled it
I really love this show , very exciting! Please , bring back a second season. Give it at least one more chance, lmn is a good station . I belive people will be more likely to watch it on this station. Great acting keeps you guessing fits right in to the way lmn is. Please please bring back!!
I really enjoy this show and have told all my friends and family about it. Please stop moving it around and extend another season to give people the chance to find it. Maybe re-broadcast over the summer when there is nothing else to watch. I’d watch it again.
Keep the show. Give us a second season. It’s a good show with very flawed people. Great acting. Trouble with you guys is you don’t let things alone. $ $ $. If you leave a show alone, the money will come as people hear about it. Move it around, stop the advertising, pretend it doesn’t exist and it won’t. Nobody wins that way. Especially us who followed the show to LMN and watched the last episode on line. Give us more!
