After two seasons, AMC announced that they would not be renewing The Killing for another round.

"After much deliberation, we've come to the difficult decision not to renew ‘The Killing' for a third season, " the network announced. "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."

This move from AMC isn't exactly as shocking as who killed Rosie Larsen. The show, a remake of a hugely popular Danish series, faced backlash after the first season ended with no resolution to Rosie's murder, then suffered from low ratings throughout it's second season run, and then failed to garner attention in Emmy nominations this year.
