'Killing Eve' Season 4 Will Be The Series' Last, But Spinoffs May Follow
When Killing Eve first burst on the scene, it was the biggest hit BBC America had produced in years. Conceived of and written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the recasting of the spy-vs-spy trope with two women was a revelation. It took Sandra Oh from a former Grey's Anatomy star and found her breaking ground for Asian representation on television as the titular Eve. It took Jodie Comer, best known for The White Princess, and made her a household name as Villanelle. And the show has also worked as a training ground for other female writers and directors. Current Academy Award-nominee Emerald Fennell took over the show in Season 2 before passing it to Suzanne Heathcote for Season 3.
The series was already deeply behind in filming the fourth season due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. (Killing Eve usually premieres in April, but Season 4 has not even started filming yet.) Now it turns out Season 4 will also be the show's last, though perhaps not the finale for the franchise as a whole.
With the announcement filming for Season 4 will begin in the U.K. in the summer of 2021, with a premiere date for 2022 came the reveal that this will be the last one for the series as fans know it. The show's final writer and showrunner will be Sex Education's Laura Neal.
