The Killing has been cancelled by AMC after two seasons.



The crime drama, based on the Danish cult hit Forbrydelsen, stars Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman as homicide detectives who team up to solve the murder case of a teenage girl.

AMC said in a statement: "After much deliberation, we've come to the difficult decision not to renew The Killing for a third season.

"AMC is incredibly proud of the show and is fortunate to have worked with such a talented team on this project, from showrunner Veena Sud and our terrific partners at Fox Television Studios to the talented, dedicated crew and exceptional cast."

However, The Killing could still be picked up by another network, as Fox is shopping the show.

"Fox Television Studios is extremely proud of The Killing, the extraordinary writing staff and crew, and what we believe is one of the best casts on television," the studio said in a statement. "We will proceed to try to find another home for the show."

Last month, Kinnaman said that he wanted to continue exploring the journey of his character with a "reboot" if the show is renewed for a third season.
