The Killing, will debut with a two-hour premiere on Sunday, April 3 beginning at 9:00 PM. Subsequent episodes will be one-hour long presentations on Sundays at 10:00 PM. From writer, executive producer and series’ showrunner Veena Sud (Cold Case), The Killing tells the story of the murder of a teenage girl in Seattle and the subsequent police investigation.
Based on the successful Danish television series Forbrydelsen, The Killing weaves together three distinct stories around a single murder, including the detectives assigned to the case and their suspects, the victim’s grieving family, and the local politicians connected to the case. As The Killing unfolds, it becomes clear that there are no accidents; everyone has a secret, and while the characters think they have moved on, their past still lingers.
