Seeing as the Rosie Larsen mystery was finally solved, obviously the third season will find Seattle cops Linden (Mireille Enos) and Holden (Joel Kinnaman) tackling a brand new case. It's not yet known if the show will adapt the Danish version's second series, or create a brand new storyline of their own. The latter is probably preferable. Showrunner Veena Sud, executive producers Dawn Prestwich and Nicole Yorkin have apparently started work this week, aiming for a late-May premiere, but AMC and Fox TV (who make the show) haven't made anything official yet.
What do you make of this surprise? Does The Killing deserve a third chance, having hopefully learned some valuable lessons? I really loved the production and some of the performances, but the storyline and manner in which it was dragged out is what killed it for me. I only lasted a handful of episodes into season 2. Hopefully the third season will tell a contained story. If this is assured, I may give it a look next summer.
