MUMBAI: OTT service provider Netflix and Fox Television Studios (FTVS) have announced that the third season of ‘The Killing‘, which premieres on US cable network AMC this year, will be available exclusively for streaming members of Netflix after its airing in the US.

In the US and Canada, the deal brings the third season to Netflix members three months after the season finale airs on AMC. The deal makes Netflix the exclusive subscription television service for The Killing season three.

In addition, the complete second season of ‘The Killing‘ is available for members in the US along with the first season, which launched on Netflix last year. Over the next few months, members in all 40 countries where Netflix is available will be able to enjoy the first two seasons prior to the third season.

Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos said, "We‘re excited to see The Killing back on TV and we‘re especially proud to bring Season three to our members so soon after it premieres on AMC. The Killing is a terrific serialized drama and we know our members love these high-quality shows."

Fox Television Studios president David Madden said, "Our agreement with Netflix played an extremely significant part in the studio‘s strategy that enabled us to bring ‘The Killing‘ back for a third season."
