Eve and Villanelle’s cat-and-mouse game is back on. Killing Eveis now streaming on Netflix in the US, which means you can watch (or rewatch) all four seasons of the daring British spy thriller — that’s 32 episodes total — from the very beginning.
Created by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag), the series ran from 2018–2022 and is based on a series of novellas by British author Luke Jennings. It stars Sandra Oh as Eve, an intelligent, outside-the-box field operative tasked with bringing down the sociopathic assassin Villanelle, played by Jodie Comer. Over the course of the critically-acclaimed series, their mutual infatuation — ahem, obsession — takes deadly twists and shocking turns.
Waller-Bridge oversaw Season 1, with each subsequent season helmed by a different head writer/showrunner: Emerald Fennell for Season 2, Suzanne Heathcote for Season 3, and Laura Neal for the final season. Killing Eve also picked up a number of awards during...

After the “Killing Eve” finale slaughtered fan expectations and received critical backlash, lead star Sandra Oh is setting the record straight on the ill-fated lesbian love story ending.
Spoilers: Mere hours after sharing their first kiss, assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer) is shot and killed as she and MI5 agent Eve (Oh) try to escape through a river in the final episode, which aired April 10.
“Honestly, it was going to be the other way around,” Oh revealed in a Deadline video.
Oh recalled discussing how the series should wrap with Season 4 lead writer Laura Neal, who previously explained just how important the final moments were to signify Eve’s “rebirth” away from Villanelle.
Oh said she told Neal that Eve should die instead of Villanelle: “I was like, ‘You should kill my character,'” Oh said. “I thought that would be the strongest and the most interesting [ending] and I felt, emotionally,...

Sandra Oh had a different ending in mind for the final season of Killing Eve, but it was still pretty, uh, killer. While the final outing of the BBC series saw Villanelle (Jodie Comer) meet her death—an ending that angered fans, to say the least—Oh originally thought that they'd take the season four finale in a much different direction. She recalls telling season four show writer Laura Neal that it should end with Eve dying, explaining to Deadline, "I thought that would be the strongest and the most interesting." After all, the show is called Killing Eve and Oh felt that was the path Eve was going down at the end of season three. "Eve was starting to...

In the final moments, Villanelle was killed by a sniper while Oh’s character Eve survived, but Oh reveals that “honestly, it was going to be the other way around,” meaning that Eve would die and Villanelle would live.

If you weren’t happy with the way Killing Eve ended, you’re not alone: Even the man who originally created the characters of Eve and Villanelle agrees.
Book author Luke Jennings, who wrote the books Killing Eve is based on, shared his disappointment with the BBC America thriller’s series finale in a column for The Guardian, criticizing the episode for essentially “punishing” Eve and Villanelle.

The divisive “Killing Eve” series finale even shocked author Luke Jennings, whose “Codename Villanelle” trilogy inspired the BBC America and AMC+ series.
The critically-acclaimed spy thriller stars Sandra Oh as MI5 agent Eve who is caught in an erotic cat-and-mouse game with assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer). Yet after four seasons of “will they, won’t they” tension, the last episode of the series, which aired April 10, offered a fatal finale to the would-be love story. Spoilers: Mere hours after sharing their first kiss, Villanelle is shot and killed as she and Eve try to escape through a river.
Fans took to social media to voice their disdain at the shocking finale, and Vanity Fair ran an article arguing “Killing Eve” ultimately bent to the “bury your gays” trope. Why couldn’t Villanelle and Eve finally just be happy in a relationship together?

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Killing Eve” Season 4, Episode 8, “Hello, Losers.”]
In May 2018, when “Killing Eve” aired its first finale, the episode ended in aptly wild fashion. Villanelle (Jodie Comer) was severely wounded; some may even have presumed she was dead. Eve was distraught, having followed through on her season-long promise for vengeance yet unable to cope with the confounding loss she suffered as a result. Konstantin (Kim Bodnia) was a goner (reportedly). Carolyn (Fiona Shaw) was in the wind (though probably on her way back to MI6).
At the time, some wondered if this wasn’t the best possible ending for “Killing Eve.” Audiences already knew another season was in the offing — BBC America renewed the series before it even premiered — but between the cat-and-mouse spy story (that couldn’t go on forever), the “will they, won’t they” central relationship (that never aligned perfectly with either “they should” or “they shouldn’t”), and...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you haven’t seen the series finale of “Killing Eve”, which aired Sunday, April 10 on BBC America and AMC Plus.
In their last confrontation, Eve (Sandra Oh) and Carolyn (Fiona Shaw) sit perfectly still in an unassuming pub, eyeing the other with wary disdain as Villanelle (Jodie Comer) plays darts in the other room. “One of the great unspoken truths about life, Eve, is that people behave exactly as you expect them to,” Carolyn finally says. “Take you, for example. You’re about to embark on some mad endgame when you know, deep down, you’re just a woman who likes an inappropriately timed croissant on a Sunday morning.”
As Carolyn almost certainly expected, Eve counters: “And you are going to race me to it, even though you know deep down, you don’t have an excuse anymore.” She’s right — or at least she was,...

A Killing Eve spin-off looking into the early life of MI6 spymaster Carolyn Mertens is in the works at BBC America and AMC Networks.
Ahead of Killing Eve’s finale episode this coming Sunday, Deadline understands producer Sid Gentle Films is in early stage development on the spin-off, though it hasn’t got a greenlight yet. No timetable on delivery was given.
It’s unclear whether the new show would air on BBC America, as per its progenitor, or another AMC Networks-owned channel or streaming service.
UK newspaper The Sun broke the spin-off news.
Carolyn, played by Fiona Shaw, begins the original show as the ruthless and enigmatic head of MI6’s Russia desk and plays a major role in all four seasons of the cat-and-mouse drama. The spin-off will focus on her earlier life, likely looking into her time as young spook in the former Soviet Union.

Sunday night’s episode of “Killing Eve” ended with a real twist that Villanelle (Jodie Comer) didn’t see coming.
(Spoiler alert: This story contains plot details from Season 4, Episode 3, “A Rainbow in Beige Boots.”)
Just before the show closed out – and not long after Villanelle choked therapist Martin – Eve (Sandra Oh) did something she explained she should have done the first time she met Villanelle – call in the authorities to take the trained assassin into custody.
“It feels like a really pivotal moment for me and it was in the writers room,” executive producer Laura Neal told TheWrap. “And we were discussing that because of what it does emotionally to both of them. For Eve, I think this is something — [and] she says it in the show — something that she should have done back in Season 1, and she chose not to for whatever reason, and then she finally does it here.

When Killing Eve Season 4 premiered, there were many familiar faces, but some new faces also appeared.
Anjana Vasan, who plays Helene's recruit, Pam, lets us know what it was like working on the final season of this monumental show.
Check out the interview below!
What was it like going from a sitcom (We Are Lady Parts) to a drama with comedic elements but is mainly about murder?
That was kind of the appeal, to do something completely different. I'm also a massive fan of Killing Eve, so that was obviously the biggest pull.
It was completely different, but in some ways, I feel like there's a sense of both Amina (Vasan's character in We Are Lady Parts) and Pam.
They both are outsiders, people who aren't completely comfortable in their skin. I find those characters that people will immediately say "oh, weirdo" to be extremely interesting.

After Villanelle turns to Martin (Adeel Akhtar) for a therapy session, Eve has her arrested. Meanwhile, things take a violent turn between Pam (Anjana Vasan) and her brother Elliot (Manpreet Bachu), which then sets her on a new path, courtesy of Helene (Camille Cottin).

Villanelle's not having a good week, forcing her to turn to the only therapist she knows: Martin.
Killing Eve Season 4 Episode 3 saw significant advancements in Eve and Carolyn's separate investigations.
Our favorite duo had a few scenes with each other throughout the hour, but none of them were entirely fun.
Villanelle broke into Eve's hotel room by posing as housekeeping and cleaned herself up after her previous murders.
Killing Season 4 Episode 2 saw the tragic killings of May and her father, the Vicar.
This event reverted Villanelle to what she had avoided doing for so long: killing (intentionally).
Now, Villanelle turned to the only person she could for help: Eve.
However, Eve still wanted nothing to do with Villanelle and told her to leave the hotel room when she got back.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Killing Eve Season 4, Episode 2 “Don’t Get Eaten.”] When the final season of Killing Eve began, Villanelle (Jodie Comer) was determined to prove she’d changed. She was baptized, and she even stopped herself from killing the vicar’s daughter in the premiere. By the end of Episode 2, well, we’re seeing a Villanelle we’re more used to. After a camping trip with the church group doesn’t go as planned, Villanelle killed the vicar, whom she hadn’t been able to turn everyone against, and his daughter, who had warmed up to her after the near-murder only to decide she was the devil. “[Villanelle] thinks it’s a blip that she can recover from,” head writer and executive producer Laura Neal tells TV Insider of that brutal act.

“Killing Eve” fans have never seen Villanelle like this. The BBC America drama returned on Sunday night for Season 4 with what appears to be a major role reversal for its two lead characters: While Eve (Sandra Oh) is taking on a harder edge with a gun in hand, Villanelle (Jodie Comer) seems eager to take a more righteous path.
That has led Villanelle to a religious community, where she’s eager to prove that she’s not a monster. But in her haste to get baptized and prove her worth, Villanelle still gets in her own way. Enter what the show is calling her “Villanelle Vision”: Villanelle starts imagining a version of herself, dressed as Jesus Christ, who has some hard truths for the assassin.
Comer told Variety that playing the vision was “Terrifying. Fun. Hairy. I’ll leave you with that one,” she quipped. “I hope [viewers] enjoy it.

During the “Killing Eve” Season 4 premiere, Villanelle (Jodie Comer) and Eve (Sandra Oh) find themselves face-to-face once more. Eve, a former MI6 desk jockey who moved into active duty while pursuing the assassin presently staring her down, is now working in private security. Villanelle, a killer for hire who grew bored with the gig before losing her taste for blood completely, is struggling to find joy in her evolving identity. Still at odds after their acrimonious split in 2020’s Season 3 finale, the testy couple’s reunion isn’t pretty, and they challenge each other’s progress (or lack thereof) in a curious pitch and catch: “If you really changed, you wouldn’t have come here,” Eve says, to which Villanelle replies, “If you’d really changed, you wouldn’t have let me.”
Regrettably, they’re both right. It’s indisputable how much both women have changed since they met, yet...

Carolyn is clearly worried about it, but both Eve and Villanelle move on with new people in their lives.
With the odds stacked against them, it's hard to imagine anyone finding happiness.

BBC America’s “Killing Eve” is coming to an end, and on Tuesday the network revealed the trailer for its fourth and final season.
Villanelle (Jodie Comer) and Eve (Sandra Oh) find themselves seeking to change their lives — Villanelle through therapy — in the new trailer. Is Villanelle developing a conscience while Eve goes in the opposite direction? The trailer sure seems to hint at that.
The final season will see Eve and Villanelle starting out in very different places. Eve is working on a revenge mission, while Villanelle is trying to prove she’s not a monster.
Meanwhile Carolyn (Fiona Shaw) is chasing down The Twelve and the person who ordered the hit on Kenny.
Each of the women are driven by “passion, revenge and obsession, building towards. messy, nuanced and totally glorious season finale,” according to AMC.
Season 4 is written by Laura Neal. Neal is also an executive producer on the series.

As is tradition for the darkly comedic spy thriller, BBC America brought in Heathcote to lead the writing for a single season. “It really was about focusing on the season that I was working on specifically,” she says about how much she minded past and future seasons on which she is uninvolved in an official capacity. “There’s always a slight eye to the future and that’s just inevitable when you’re writing anything,” she adds after clarifying, “I wouldn’t have wanted to end things in a way that would have been...

A fourth season of BBC America‘s brilliant and highly-addictive spy-assassin show was ordered way back in January, before Season 3 even started. Basically, everyone involved in this production knows that they have a hit on their hands and is acting accordingly.
As Sarah Barnett, President, AMC Networks Entertainment Group and AMC Studios, lauds in a statement:
“How could we not have massive confidence in Killing Eve? It has won big in every major award show and is the highest growing show on U.S. television for six years.

This article contains Major spoilers for the Killing Eve Season 3 finale.
The Killing Eve Season 3 finale has aired and it left us with plenty of delicious, lingering to turn over and discuss as we wait for the fourth season, which has already been confirmed.
What Does That Last Scene Mean?
One of the cool things about Killing Eve is that, every scene, it promotes a new female writer to head writer of the show. This not only means that the show acts an incubator of sort to give women the chance to run their own show, but it also creates a system in which the previous head writer challenges the next head writer to fulfill their season finale cliffhanger.
Last season, Season 2 head writer Emerald Fennell ended the season with Villanelle shooting Eve in Rome and leaving her to die and Season 3 head writer Suzanne Heathcote was responsible for playing...

(Warning: This post contains spoilers for the fifth episode of “Killing Eve” Season 3.)
“Killing Eve” antiheroine Villanelle has spent the better part of the last two and half seasons searching for a real home, and up until the final moments of Season 2 that meant being around Eve. And where is she to go after plans fall through except back to the beginning?
Sunday’s episode, titled “Are You From Pinner?” reunited the offbeat assassin with her offbeat family, including the mother who dumped her at an orphanage when she was a child, a dopey brother who sleeps in a barn and an Elton John-obsessed young half-brother. It goes well — for the most part.
“It was so important to me that the audience go on this journey with her and experience all the emotions she’s feeling,” Comer said of her character’s trip back to Russia in an interview with TheWrap.

In an industry designed to give a creative elite most of the "best" opportunities, Killing Eve is actively trying something different.
It's not uncommon in this pop culture day and age for a woman-centric show to market around its on-screen feminist ideals... as it should. But it's much rarer for female-led shows to put their money where their mouth is behind the scenes, not only with women in positions of creative authority, but in systems that actively support and foster the promotion of new talent in those highest of creative roles.
This is the rare case with Killing Eve, which has intentionally had a different woman showrunner for each season. Emmy-winner Phoebe Waller-Bridge created the show and served as its head writer in Season 1 before passing the baton to Emerald Fennell in Season 2, who then passed it on to Suzanne Heathcote for Season 3, which will premiere in April.

MacGyver is getting a surprise family visit: Jeri Ryan (Star Trek: Voyager) has joined the CBS drama in a season-long arc as the titular character’s aunt, TVInsider.com reports.
Ryan’s Gwendolyn Hayes is the sister of MacGyver’s beloved mother. She is also “an ex-dxs agent who was presumed dead,” executive producer Peter Lenkov tells the site. “Mac never knew she existed, but Gwen was always keeping track of her nephew’s life in the shadows. She is now the presumed head of Codex, the organization that the Phoenix has been hunting this season.”
