AMC Cancels "The Killing"

AMC will not renew mystery series "The Killing", the network announced Friday. But the show may find life elsewhere.

"After much deliberation, we've come to the difficult decision not to renew 'The Killing' for a third season," the network said in a statement. "AMC is incredibly proud of the show and is fortunate to have worked with such a talented team on this project."



Fox Television Studios, which produces the show, issued its own statement, saying it plans to shop the show around to other networks.

"Fox Television Studios is extremely proud of 'The Killing', the extraordinary writing staff and crew, and what we believe is one of the best casts on television," the statement reads. "We will proceed to try to find another home for the show."





"The Killing's" first-season finale angered many critics and fans by not resolving the murder of Rosie Larsen.

After that mystery and several other remaining loose ends were tied up in June's Season 2 finale, speculation that the series might not be renewed for a third season began.

Dag, I liked Linden and Holder. The powers that be should have produced the show in the same way that the Danish version was done - one murder per season. Dragging the Rosie Larson murder over two years was ridiculous and killed the series.
