AMC's Suspense Series The Killing Begins Production

Forbrydelsen (Danish Mystery Series)

Earlier this year, AMC-TV announced a pilot order for a crime drama adapted from the Danish suspense series Forbrydelsen. Yesterday, the network announced that production has begun in Vancouver on its 13-episode series, titled The Killing.

The Killing ties together three distinct stories by a single murder and as the detectives assigned to the case disagree 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. Set in Seattle, it is an exploration of the city's politics; a unique portrayal of a victim's grieving family, and a study of the personal life of a cop. There are no accidents in The Killing. Everyone has a secret, and while the characters think they've moved on, their past isn't done with them.

"We were drawn to the project immediately after viewing the original format. Veena Sud's (Cold Case) adaptation has everything we loved about the original and more -- it is compelling and addictive storytelling," said Susie Fitzgerald, AMC's SVP of scripted development and current programming.

The Killing is expected to premiere in March 2011.
