Sneak Peek: The Killing
Mar 8th
It’s almost here… check out the new, extended trailer for The Killing, the heavily hyped murder mystery coming April 3rd to AMC.
The Killing is based on an acclaimed Danish series that’s now been running for three seasons. Each season features a different case, with each episode (there are 13 in total) following a day in the life of the investigation. This first season revolves around the murder of a young girl called Rosie Larsen, with plenty of suspects and mysteries to unravel.

But what do you think? Will you be checking out The Killing in a few weeks time? Fire away…!

Best news of all – the show brings Michelle Forbes back to our screens – aka Maryann from the second season of True Blood. I loved Michelle in the vampire saga (and she was also great in Season 2 of 24)… plus look out for Billy Campbell in there too (who’ll always be More >
