Briefly: Netflix made millions of fans very happy last November when they announced that they were resurrecting (again, they also co-produced season 3) The Killing for an abbreviated, 6-episode final season.

Now we’re less than a month away from its bittersweet (because it’ll be the end, though we’re still so thankful that it’s happening) launch, and Netflix has launched the trailer for the upcoming episodes.

I’m a huge fan of the show, and after season three’s insane conclusion, I can’t wait to see how things wrap up. Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you hope to see next month!

Briefly: Netflix made millions of fans very happy last November when they announced that they were resurrecting (again, they also co-produced season 3) The Killing for an abbreviated, 6-episode final season.

Now, they’ve announced just when we’ll be able to watch it.

Here’s the (tiny, footageless) teaser that announces the premiere date:

I’ve loved the series thus far, and am extremely excited that Netflix is making another season. What do you hope to see? Will you be binge-watching on August 1st?

Briefly: Remember when The Killing was cancelled, and then resurrected for an awesome third season, and then cancelled again?

Well, it seems as though The Killing just won’t stay dead, as the series has just received a six-episode final season order. Awesome news, right?

This time however, the series won’t be on AMC. Instead, the amazing folks over at Netflix are taking the reins to craft the final episodes. Seasons one through three are now available for streaming on the service, and if you haven’t seen it, I’d highly recommend it.

Take a look at the full press release below, and let us know how excited you are! We’ll be sure to share more info as soon as it’s available!

Netflix has ordered a fourth and final limited season that will serve as a conclusion for “The Killing,” exclusively for its over 40 million members worldwide. The 6-episode series finale, from Fox Television Studios (FTVS), will be available only to Netflix streaming members to watch instantly in all Netflix territories.

 

“The rich, serialized storytelling in ‘The Killing’ thrives on Netflix, and we believe that it is only fitting to give Sarah Linden and Stephen Holder a proper send off,” said Cindy Holland, vice president of original content for Netflix. “We are looking forward to offering fans – both existing and new – a series that we know is perfectly suited for on-demand viewing.”

 

David Madden, president, Fox Television Studios, commented, “It’s a true testament to ‘The Killing’ creator Veena Sud, and the stellar cast led so compellingly by Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman, that fans remained so passionate about the show. We’re gratified that our partners at Netflix recognized this, and are giving us the opportunity to complete the story in a way that will be satisfying to our loyal audience.”

 

The first three seasons of “The Killing” are now available to stream globally on Netflix.

Briefly: The Killing fans (which I definitely am one of), you had to have seen this one coming.

AMC has announced their decision not to renew acclaimed crime drama The Killing for a fourth season. This, of course, is the second time that the series has been cancelled, the first time being after a steady ratings fall during the show’s second season.

The network states that “Fox Television Studios is extremely proud of all three seasons of The Killing. We’re especially gratified to have orchestrated a unique deal with AMC for season three that included a bold partnership with Netflix. While we would have loved to produce a fourth season for AMC, FTVS is immensely grateful to everyone involved with this moving series: our brilliant cast, led by Mireille Enos, Joel Kinnaman and season three’s Peter Sarsgaard, our stellar executive producer, Veena Sud, a remarkable writing and producing team, and a tireless, dedicated crew. Most of all, FTVS thanks the terrific fans of The Killing, who communicated their appreciation for the show throughout its run.”

It’s sad news for sure, especially after watching the fantastic almost-didn’t-happen third season. At least the show was resurrected once though, right?
