The Killing’s Last Season Gets a Rainy, Bloody Netflix Teaser
We learned last Fall that Netflix was reviving the cancelled AMC drama The Killing for one final season, which would air this year. Netflix has the dark drama lined up to premiere Season 4 on August 1 and to celebrate this news, they’ve given us a teaser that reminds fans that the drama tends to be dripping with rain… and blood. Murder and bad weather do seem to be two of the themes of this series.
AMC’s The Killing struggled with its ratings when it aired on the cable channel, but still managed to return for a third season before AMC cancelled it for good. And then Netflix un-cancelled it, or rescued it or however you want to look at it, and set it up to air its final season this August.
The Killing is based on a Danish series called Forbrydelsen, and stars Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman as Sarah Linden and Stephen Holder, two homicide deceives who team up to investigate a murder in Seattle, Washington. The first two seasons focus on Sarah and Holder as they investigate the murder of teen Rosie Larsen. The third season shifted to a new case as Linden and Holder investigated the disappearance of a runaway girl, which led them to discover a gruesome string of murders that connected to one of Linden’s old cases. Those who haven’t seen the series or need to get caught up between now and August 1 can check out the first three seasons of The Killing streaming on Netflix.
