The Killing is based on the wildly successful Danish television series Forbrydelsen.
The Killing tells the story of the murder of a young girl
in Seattle and the subsequent police investigation.
The Killing ties together three distinct stories around a single murder including
the detectives assigned to the case, the victim's grieving family, and the suspects.
Set in Seattle, the story also explores local politics
as it follows politicians connected to the case.
As the series unfolds, it becomes clear that there are no accidents;
everyone has a secret, and while the characters think they've moved on,
their past isn't done with them.
Sarah Linden is a homicide detective with the Seattle Police Department.
A smart, competent cop, she often sees what other cops don't.
Sarah is a silent watcher, taking everything in without ever revealing her hand.
Outside of work Sarah's a distance runner, an emotional "lone wolf," and
a single mom to whom motherhood doesn't come naturally. Determined to have
a normal life separate from the daily horrors of her job, Sarah is ready to
walk away, marry her fiancé, Rick Felder, and move her child and her life to
Sonoma, California. However, the murder of Rosie Larsen could be the case that
changes her life forever, and her determination to catch Rosie's murderer becomes
a compulsion, a heinous crime that she must solve no matter what
the cost to herself and her carefully made plans.
A former narcotics detective who feels right at home in the grit and ugliness of
undercover work, Stephen Holder has just been promoted to Homicide, where he's a fish
out of water. Despite his inexperience, Holder proves to be dogged and a good,
if awkward, complement to Sarah's quieter style. He has no boundaries,
and his dark humor and observations often get under Sarah's skin.
Darren Richmond is the president of the Seattle City Council and is running for Mayor.
He gives every impression of being "Seattle's JFK." Richmond is carrying on a
relationship with Gwen Eaton, his campaign advisor, a relationship he is keeping
under wraps until the election is over, but still longs for his wife who passed away
years ago. He is the type of politico with potential on the national scale, a man
of principle and unshakeable beliefs amidst a political world swimming with sharks.
Darren Richmond's campaign adviser and lover, Gwen Eaton is a smart, sophisticated
and ambitious blue blood from one of the city's most powerful families, and one of
Richmond's most intimate political associates. Gwen has no intention of making her
relationship with Richmond public, valuing her privacy and knowing full well that a
beautiful woman can be too easily dismissed in the rough and tumble world of politics.
Jamie Wright is the brilliant campaign manager for Darren Richmond. A policy wonk and
loyal sidekick, Jamie is focused on the political battle 24/7 and chafes against
Richmond's indiscreet relationship with Gwen Eaton. He's a master chess player and
strategist, and a valuable -- if deeply opinionated -- asset to the Richmond campaign.
A bullish blue collar guy, Stanley Larsen grew up in a rough neighborhood,
but has transformed his life from boozer and brawler to small business owner and
family man. The owner of a small moving company, Stan still does his share of the
grunt work and is partnered with his friend, Belko Royce. Very happily married to
Mitch for the last 17 years, he is the proud father of Rosie, Denny and Tom,
and is contemplating a move to the suburbs to give his family a better life.
Mitch Larsen is Stan Larsen's wife, a girl from the wrong side of the tracks who has
found peace as a housewife and mother. A bit rough around the edges, Mitch doesn't put
up with any bull. She is a force of nature who wants a better life for her children,
Rosie, Denny and Tom. Mitch has raised her oldest child, Rosie, to be considerably
more modest and accomplished than the rest of the girls at her school.
Filmed in Vancouver, The Killing is produced by Fox Television Studios
