The series follows an investigative duo as they solve weekly cases while Andi searches for her missing mother and a local detective joins the town.
Acorn TV premieres the new series Killing on Monday, May 18, featuring a small town where people are dying far more frequently than one would expect.
Williamson and her co-star recently appeared in the 2024 Netflix film, Mother of the Bride, and previously worked together on an episode of Quantum Leap.
The story concerns Andi, whose mother vanished without a trace 15 years ago; "It's hard to form meaningful connections," Williamson says.
Production for the series occurred in a coastal village near Halifax, Nova Scotia, where Bernheim notes that writing strong female characters is a lot of fun.
Allie shares traits with Jessica Fletcher of Murder She Wrote, set in charming Maine, while detective Jack Kerrigan, played by Tom Cavanagh, joins the cast.
