Then, following Season 3, AMC killed The Killing again — only for Netflix to decide a couple of months later that it wanted to bring back the show. Season 4, which hits the streaming service August 1, is billed as the final season of the show, but who even knows at this point.
The next season will be shorter overall than previous ones, with just six episodes instead of the usual twelve or thirteen. However, the individual episodes themselves will run longer — 55-59 minutes per installment, as opposed to 40-odd minutes on AMC. There will also be more cursing, according to showrunner Veena Sud: “Joel Kinnaman was very happy to learn that he could say the ‘F’ bomb.”
The Killing Season 4 picks up after the events of Season 3, but takes the characters to a whole new world. Sud told TV Guide:
Are you excited for more The Killing, or do you wish the show had stayed dead?
