First Look at AMC's Crime Drama The Killing

Earlier this month we learned that AMC-TV had begun production on its upcoming crime drama The Killing. Now the network has released a first look at the series; you can watch it below.

The Killing is based on the successful Danish television series Forbrydelsen and tells the story of the murder of a young girl in Seattle and the subsequent police investigation. Season one will consist of thirteen one-hour episodes and is slated to premiere in March 2011.

"The Killing marks the first foray into a crime mystery genre for AMC. 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.
