Synopsis[]

Season 1[]

Season 1 follows the first two weeks of the investigation of the murder of local teenager Rosie Larsen. This season has three main story lines: the police investigation into Rosie's murder, the Larsen family's attempts to deal with their grief, and a political campaign's arising problems once it becomes embroiled in the case.

Season 2[]

The investigation into the murder continues. Secrets about the Larsen family are revealed, as well as a possible conspiracy within the campaign race and the Seattle police department. The Larsen murder case eventually gets closed once it gets revealed who was involved in it.

Season 3[]

A year after the Rosie Larsen case, Stephen Holder is searching for a runaway girl. He ends up uncovering a string of murders connected to one of his ex-partner's, Sarah Linden's, previous murder investigations, and Linden, no longer a detective, must return to both a career and a case she had put behind her.

Season 4[]

In season 4, detectives Sarah Linden and Stephen Holder have to handle the fallout of their actions from the previous season while investigating the murder of a family whose only survivor is a member of an all-boys military academy. AMC cancelled The Killing but Netflix ordered the fourth season and released it in all territories in August 2014.
