AMC’s The Killing — with all its gloom and parkas and rain and mystery — returned Sunday night, but not all its fans came back to watch the show.
Breaking AMC’s ratings hot streak this past year, the two-hour drama series debut averaged 1.8 million viewers. That’s down 33 percent from the show’s first season opener. If you include the show’s repeat, The Killing topped out at 2.5 million viewers, down 47 percent from last year’s trio of premiere-night airings.
Some wondered if the show’s ratings would drop for its second season after frustrating fans with an unexpected cliffhanger ending last year. The show plan to solve the mystery of who killed Rosie Larsen at the end of this season.
Every other drama series on AMC has returned to higher ratings lately. That includes Mad Men, which delivered its biggest numbers ever last week. Mad Men delivered 2.9 million viewers last night, down only 17 percent from last week two-hour premiere.
