Even though it was cancelled by the station back in July, that doesn't seem to be stopping "The Killing" returning for its two-hour season three premiere on June 2, 2013. AMC announced on Friday, March 29, 2013, that the hit series would indeed be coming back for a full third season and that it would kick off this summer.
Mireille Enos will return as Sarah Linden and Joel Kinnaman is coming back as Stephen Holder for season three of "The Killing," and they will be joined by new cast members Peter Sarsgaard, Elias Koteas, and Amy Seimetz. This new season will consist of a new case resolved over the course of ten episodes and ending with a two-hour finale.
Season three of "The Killing" begins one year after the "Rosie Larsen" case was solved. Sarah Linden is no longer working as a detective, and looks to steer clear from that old way of life.
Her ex-partner Stephen Holder starts a search for a runaway girl and it leads him to the discovery of a gruesome string of murders that connects to a previous murder investigation of Linden. This ends up drawing her back into the life she had left behind.
"We learned so much from the first two seasons of The Killing and are thrilled to be bringing it back with the elements that the fans loved," said Charlie Collier, president and general manager, AMC. "Veena's captivating storytelling along with the performances of Joel and Mireille, and the rest of the exemplary cast, will remind audiences of what they loved about the series and provide a season of suspenseful television."
"The Killing" was completely done for with the cancellation of the series last year, but things do change. Fans begged for it to come back, and their wishes were granted.
Said executive producer and series creator Veena Sud, "I am grateful to AMC, Fox TV Studios and Netflix for their commitment to the show and their efforts in bringing The Killing back to air. I'm also thrilled to be working with our incredible writing team as we continue to explore the lives of 'Sarah' and 'Holder,' who, like so many real-life detectives, grapple with the consequences to their own lives of a no-holds-barred immersion in the world of a homicide investigation."
