“Killing Eve” centers on Eve (Sandra Oh), an MI6 operative, and psychopath assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer) in this story of two women, bound by a mutual obsession and one brutal act.
In the second season, the action picks up just 36 seconds after the end of the final episode of season one. Villanelle has disappeared and Eve is left reeling, having no idea if the woman she stabbed is alive or dead. With both of them in deep trouble, Eve has to find Villanelle before someone else does…but unfortunately, she’s not the only person looking for her.
Comer and Oh reunited for the Television Critics BBC America/AMC panel over the weekend, and Jodie admitted that viewers will see Villanelle in a “completely different way” in season two, after her fate was left unknown in a heart-stopping finale.
On the show’s opening scenes she said: “We see Villanelle in a completely different way. She has no control of the situation.”
Based on the “Codename Villanelle” novellas by Luke Jennings, “Killing Eve” won the TCA Award for “Best New Show” in 2018 and is the top drama on Metacritic’s “TV Shows Mentioned On Most Critic Top 10 Lists – 2018.”
According to the press release, season one wrapped with an unbroken record of weekly ratings growth in the key adults 25-54 and 1849 demos – something no other show on television has accomplished in the history of Nielsen live+3 ratings.
