Not long now until the fourth and final season of The Killing arrives to Netflix and promises to drama filled and as suspenseful as ever.

The story will pick up right after the season three finale. As Detective Linden (Mireille Enos) and Detective Holder (Joel Kinnaman) struggle to manage the fallout from their rash actions at the end of last season, they are assigned a new case -- a picture perfect family is murdered, survived only by the son, Kyle Stansbury (Tyler Ross), who was shot in the head during the massacre.

Joan Allen will also guest star in this season as Colonel Margaret Rayne, the headmaster of the all-boys military academy where Kyle attends.

This final series will consist of six episodes and will be available on Netflix on the 1st August.

You can also stream seasons one to three now if you want to catch up!
