The Killing is back for a third season premiering on Sunday, June 2, 2013 at 8pm on AMC, and with its return comes a new sort of viewing experience. Just as the network did with The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad, AMC will be offering a second screen Story Sync that allows viewers to watch the premiere “while interacting with the series and each other.”
The dual-screen option will provide more info on the show and can be accessed using computers, tablets, and mobile devices at TheKillingStorySync.com.
“For viewers looking for a high-quality, curated, second screen experience, Story Sync complements linear viewing with content that offers a richer, deeper engagement specifically designed to supplement the story playing out on the primary screen,” stated Mac McKean, AMC’s senior vice president of digital media. “We know a significant portion of our audience is engaging in social media and other second-screen applications while they watch these shows, so our goal with Story Sync is to offer the best experience possible with authentic elements carefully integrated with the creative on television.”
The Plot:
Season three begins one year after the close of the second season, with Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos) no longer working as a detective. But when her ex-partner Stephen Holder’s (Joel Kinnaman) search for a runaway girl leads him to discover a gruesome string of murders that connects to a previous murder investigation by Linden, she is drawn back into the life she thought she’d left behind.
