‘The Killing’ Season 3 New Info, Writers Back To Work!

I love The Killing. The two season long murder mystery was a breath of fresh air that the crime drama genre desperately needed. The series was well written, shocking, disturbing, and addicting, and I was very disappointed when AMC announced that they would not be renewing it for a third season.

Then things looked like they were about to turn around: AMC wasn’t opposed to letting another network take over, and Netflix was in talks to produce a third season. We reported earlier this month that the show was set to return, but very few details were know at that time.

Variety has confirmed that The Killing is indeed returning for a third season, and as was rumoured, on AMC itself! Netflix appears to still be in final talks for streaming rights, but the season should find its way to the service shortly after it concludes. Writers are back to work, with production scheduled to begin in just a few months for a probable May premiere. There’s no word yet on which cast members will return, though I’m sure Joel Kinnaman and Mereille Enos are a top priority.

If you haven’t seen the show, I’d wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone. I’m extremely excited for the series to return, and will most definitely be tuning in. Check out a trailer for the show below, and let me know what you think!
