To no surprise, the Those Who Kill TV show has been cancelled after one season. A dramatic thriller, the series follows homicide detective Catherine Jensen (Chloë Sevigny) as she tracks down serial killers in the Pittsburgh area. Others in the cast include James D’Arcy, James Morrison, Bruce Davison, Omid Abtahi, and Kerry O’Malley.
The series drew terrible ratings on A&E and was pulled from the cable channel after two episodes. The dramatic thriller was later relaunched on Lifetime Movie Network (LMN). Though the series earned some devoted fans, the ratings got even worse. The finale drew just 480,000 viewers.
The last episode aired on May 18th and series creator Glen Morgan tweeted, “Thank you to Those Who Found, Watched and Supported #ThoseWhoKill. We’ll miss Pittsburgh. #LetsGoBucs.”
He also noted that, “Catherine will be okay.” — a nod to the last episode’s cliffhanger ending in which the main character’s fate was left up in the air.
What do you think? Did you enjoy this series? Why didn’t it catch on?
I am devastated there isnt a season 2!! I hate cliff hangers….how could this series not be interesting to people?!?! I guess everyone is so use to fake unrealistic shows that you can g y ess whats going to happen next. This kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was watching I was ho k ding my breathe!!
I am in Australia and have been waiting with baited breath, for this series to continue. But here I read “No Series 2”. So much for that. It is an excellent show, damn pity it isn’t going to continue.
What can viewers do to bring it back? It is a great show, knew nothing about it till it showed up on amazon.
Every post is positive!
Absolutely gutted that this series has been cancelled. BRING IT BACK
I found this show on A&E after giving Bates Motel a try – didn’t care too much for Bates Motel but thought that Those Who Kill was great. Followed it over to LMN and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of season one. I was very disappointed that it was not renewed. The dumbing of America continues, I find it incomprehensible that the typical American viewer would rather watch reality TV shows vice using their “grey cells” to delve into the intricate nuances that this show presents. A&E did a horrible job of promoting this show, lots of ads for Bates but… Read more »
I loved this series, I watched it from the begining on A&E. When they cancelled it and Lifetime picked it up , I.was estatic
I’m really sad that it won’t return
I’m so upset!!! This show was better than Criminal Minds or CSI and many others and it was cancelled!!!! So upset. I loved it and it was very very good and dramatic and suspenseful. It was not given a chance by the network. Shame on you cause the story was great and the drama wonderful. I’m so angry by this. 1st my Black a Box is cancelled than this one or both at the same time!!!!
I had never heard of this show until less than a week ago. I found it (like someone else commented-accidentally) looking thru Chloe Sevigny’s IMDB.com page where it lists all her shows/movies. I found this show to be so good, I have already watched almost the entire season, and will be finishing the last 3 episodes tomorrow night. I was so captivated and interested I’ve been binge watching since I started downloading the episodes. It was so good I couldn’t stop watching. I cant understand how all these dumb & empty shows are staying on the air & this show… Read more »
It really is amazing how many people have become aware of this series since it has been cancelled. I would like to think that there are some station managers reading this forum. I stay subscribed to this thread in the hope that one day I will see that it has finally been aired or released as a DVD.
This is a truthful statement. It was not promoted well at all. It was indeed a great must watch show. What a shame is gone!!!
Very disappointed there’ll be no further series, I thought it was one of the best shows ever!
Netflix should pick up season 2 of this terrific series. Just finished watching the entire first season over the course of one week and found it equal to the finest that HBO and Showtime and Netflix can offer. Chloe Sevigny along with the entire cast and writing is amazing!
I loved the show, and I’m very sad to see that it’s not coming back. I live in Pittsburgh and I watch a ton a series, but I was looking forward to season 2. Very sad!
I loved this show and am devastated that they’re not going to do a 2nd season? WHY? This was fast-paced, exciting, sensitive and thought- provoking. The characters were really quite good too especially Catherine. A real shame to lose gritty and hard yet emotional shows like this!
I desagree, I really liked this serie even I could’nt watch it complete because on my country the serie was transmited on FX at 2:30 am :-S. I agree with Rod comment.
I didn’t know they moved the show!!! Would have watched it if I had known! Oh well!
Netflix please pickup this show…please!!-
I live in hope that someone somewhere will pick up on this final season if not show the whole series again. It just needs a channel that devotes itself to thought provoking series like this one. In Australia I feel sure this series would have been very successful on SBS a free to air channel which devotes itself to local content European drama series like The Bridge and The Legacy. Perhapes they can purchase it at bargain basement prices if non of the close minded limited intelligence pay TV channels want it.
Yes please
