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 love this show. I really hope it does not get cancelled!!! I have watched all the episodes, and I am anxious for more!
I thought it was surprisingly good. No “True Detective” but infinitely better than most new procedurals, such as the new TNT show “Murder in the First.” It’s a shame this show didn’t have the appropriate visibility.
Hey I love this show, don’t cancel, this is a amazing show.
I sincerely hope that this show is not cancelled. I love this show and I am completely riveted by this series. Please DO NOT CANCEL.
I love the show. I think it’s very well done and thought out. I hope somebody renews the show!
I am obsessed with this show!! So thrilling and I was always on the edge of my seat. I’m a huge Lifetime junkie so finding the show was no problem. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it returns for a second season. I need to know what happens next. The finale leaves you wanting more!!
One of the best shows on TV….wow what a finale!!
Please renew those who kill. It is a great series.
I love this show. I hope it stays on the air.
Kinda’ knew it might not make it, it’s too well acted, had a great plot, and is intelligent! The reality show people will not watch since their attention span is zip, and one actually has to think!
Oh, well! I guess it’s predictable that the networks make shows, insult the intelligence of the viewers by killing them off (no pun intended) before the series ends leaving a lot of unanswered questions, not to mention a bunch of totally p-o’d viewers!! Sad!
Wifey and I found it through the ‘Search’ option in the ‘On Demand’ mode via Xfinity.
Thanks a lot a&e. This show is different and enthralling to say the least. I know what the problem was … and that is the show was not advertised as much as your Crappola shows.
Wifey and I were looking for an 11th episode and figured that it’s season was done at just 10 shows. Then, we heard that the show was cancelled. Pfftt.
Keep this show on. It’s an amazing series.
pls bring this excellent show back. with all the garbage realty tv not worth watching, we need all the interesting shows we can get. I totally enjoyed Those Who Kill. I would like to know if there will be a season 2 – and I wish I had seen the first 2 episodes of season 1 !!
this is one of the best shows on t.v.. It keeps u on the edge of ur seat and unfortunately crimes like these do exist. I hope they keep it on.
