Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer starrer Killing Eve, which has received critical acclaim and several accolades, has been renewed by BBC America for a fourth season. News of the show’s renewal comes ahead of its third-season premiere, which is slated to go on air in the spring.
Recent reports suggest that the acclaimed drama, made by British producer Sid Gentle Films, will run into 2021, with Sandra Oh’s Eve Polastri and Jodie Comer’s Villanelle continuing to play their deadly game of cat and mouse. However, the showrunner for season 4 has not been finalized as yet.
“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,” said AMC Studios president Sarah Barnett. “The reason for this series’ emphatic embrace is the brilliant women who breathed it into being: Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Emerald Fennell, Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer, Fiona Shaw and its fairy godmother, executive producer Sally Woodward Gentle. Season 3 lead writer Suzanne Heathcote takes Eve, Villanelle and Carolyn to places more thrilling, twisted and surprising than ever. Our addicted fans will not be disappointed,” added Barnett.
Talking about the upcoming season, executive producer Sally Woodward Gentle shared, “I am beyond thrilled that we can continue our extraordinary journey. It is testament to everyone involved that we have been picked up so early – the magnificent actors, writers, directors and production team. We are extremely lucky to work with such fierce and dedicated people.”
Based on the Codename Villanelle novellas by Luke Jennings, Suzanne Heathcote was the showrunner for the Killing Eve’s third season, following Emerald Fennell and Phoebe Waller-Bridge helming the second and first season, respectively.
