However, in November 2013, Netflix, partnering with Fox Television Studios (the production company for The Killing), announced it had picked up the series for a fourth and final season consisting of six episodes . Series developer and executive producer Veena Sud returned as showrunner, with Dawn Prestwich and Nicole Yorkin returning as writers and executive producers . Because they are airing on Netflix, episodes in the fourth season have a longer running time of approximately 55--59 minutes compared to 43 minutes when the series aired on AMC with commercials, and characters are able to use stronger profanity . </P>
