Netflix has finally released some more details regarding its plans for the final season of The Killing, and they are fairly broad.
Normally when a TV show is licensed there are all sorts of hoops to jump through as each territory is handled differently. While Netflix announced via a tweet on Friday that it would take over the final season of The Killing, it didn't share where those episodes would be available. Thanks to a press release that was finally released today, we now know that anywhere Netflix already has streaming set up, you'll be able to watch the episodes.
Netflix also confirmed that the fourth season would indeed be the last and would be made up of just six episodes.
"The rich, serialized storytelling in 'The Killing' thrives on Netflix, and we believe that it is only fitting to give Sarah Linden and Stephen Holder a proper send off," said Cindy Holland, vice president of original content for Netflix. "We are looking forward to offering fans – both existing and new – a series that we know is perfectly suited for on-demand viewing."
The first three seasons of The Killing are currently available on Netflix.

Seasons one and two chronicled the "Rosie Larsen case," with Linden and Holder investigating the murder of a teenage girl. Picking up one year after the close of that investigation, season three followed the detectives on their search for a runaway girl, leading them to discover a gruesome string of murders that connected to a previous investigation by Linden.
"The Killing" is created and executive-produced by Veena Sud. Mikkel Bondesen is executive producer for Fabrik Entertainment. Kristen Campo also serves as co-executive producer for Fabrik. "The Killing" is produced by Fox Television Studios for Netflix.
