Back in January, we reported that AMC TV had ordered a pilot for a crime drama based on the Danish suspense television series Forbrydelsen. The Hollywood Reporter is now reporting that the cable network has given the green light for 13 one-hour episodes with a premiere date in 2011. Originally titled The Killing, the series will ultimately be given a new name.
Set in Seattle, the series plotline ties together three distinct stories about a single murder and the detectives assigned to the case. As disagreements arise about the best course of action, they chase down a variety of leads and suspects. Along the way there are major repercussions for the victim's family, the detectives, the suspects, and the local politicians connected to the case.
Production is expected to begin in Vancouver this fall.
