Bringing shows back from the dead may be Netflix’s new
thing. The first time it occurred was earlier this year when the company aired
a fourth season of Arrested Development, which was originally canceled in 2006.
Now they have agreed to air the final season of The Killing, a gritty,
Seattle-set, cop drama that that originated on AMC.
The Killing is no stranger to revivals though, AMC first
canceled the show in 2012 after just two seasons. Following this cancelation a
deal was struck between Netflix and Fox Television Studios that resulted in AMC
bringing back the show for another season. Due to less than desirable ratings
AMC canceled the show again in 2013 after the third season aired.
Despite its unsatisfactory ratings, Netflix wasted no time picking
up the show. On Nov. 15, only two months after the
second cancelation, they announced The Killing’s fourth and final season would stream
solely on Netflix with six episodes.
Both Mireille
Enos and Joel Kinnaman, the stars of the show, will be back in action as well
as the regular showrunner Veena Sud. The team writing the final season is
expected to begin work soon.
Netflix is currently streaming all three seasons of The Killing;
