With the release of a new Killing Eve season 4 trailer, Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer take a look back at the craze that was spawned by their BBC America series Killing Eve. When Killing Eve began in 2018, many fans were taken by surprise by the twisting female-led spy story that was depicted on the show. It is based on books written by Luke Jennings, albeit there have been significant alterations between the two books and the television series. As the series has progressed, Killing Eve has centered on the cat-and-mouse interaction that has developed between Russian assassin Villanelle (Comer) and MI6 agent Eve Polastri (Oh), a relationship that has only become more convoluted.
Killing Eve is set to come to an end with the release of season 4, which is currently in production. The final season of The Crown will air on BBC America next weekend, and it will feature its starring ladies in two very different settings. Villanelle and Eve shared an especially painful moment in the last episode of Killing Eve, as they said farewell and parted ways with the other. Season 4 begins with Villanelle striving to change herself via religion, and Eve on a vengeance quest against her ex-boyfriend. Fans may also take comfort in the fact that Carolyn Martens (Fiona Shaw) and Konstantin (Kim Bodnia) will be returning for one more adventure.
With the launch of Killing Eve season 4 getting closer, BBC America has created a new video that takes the main cast members on a nostalgic journey through the series’ past. titled “Killing Eve: The Phenomenon,” the video stars Oh, Comer, Shaw, and Bodnia, as well as the several female writers who have served as the series’ executive producers over the years, and it looks back on how far the program has come in terms of impacting society. Take a look at the video below.
Killing Eve was one of the most successful new television series of 2018, and its viewership has only risen in the years afterward. It catapulted Comer to international stardom and allowed fans to recognize and appreciate her skill long before films such as Free Guy and The Last Duel came out. Killing Eve, on the other hand, proved to be the showcase she deserved after departing Grey’s Anatomy in 2014. Both Oh and Comer have received accolades for their performances on the show. There’s no denying that their connection and abilities have played a significant role in the show’s success, and perhaps season 4 will provide both women with the sendoffs they deserve.
It is true that the overall critical consensus surrounding Killing Eve has diminished with time, but the show has always been regarded as an engaging portrayal of dangerous women. As the previous video indicated, there are still plenty of surprises in store for us in season 4, and this has the potential to make for a very satisfying conclusion to the series. As has already been well reported, Eve and Villanelle will cross paths again, and Comer and Shaw will be able to share memorable encounters with one another. Although it is not yet obvious whether or not everyone in Killing Eve will have a happy ending – and it seems likely that not everyone will – the series should nonetheless be an exciting journey to the end.
