Can you believe it's been 13 years since the Killing first aired?! (13 years, 8 months, 19 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did the Killing end?
When the Killing came to an end after 4 years in August 2014, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Stephen Holder (Peter Sarsgaard), Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman) and Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Killing reunion disappoint people?
The Killing aired from 2011-2014 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Sarsgaard said he's not sure if the Killing would work today. “I don't want to see old Stephen Holder,” he told a journalist (Sarsgaard turned 53 in March). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.
Still hoping for a Killing movie?
In a recent interview, Amy Seimetz (who played Danette Lutz between 2013 and 2014) said she can't imagine a Killing reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star Katie Findlay (who played Rosie Larsen between 2011 and 2012) has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Killing movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be a Killing film, Brandon Jay McLaren stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about a Killing reboot?
Recasting the Killing for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of a Killing reunion, a Killing movie, or a Killing reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
