BBC America’s critical hit will be returning for a third season. Killing Eve has earned a third season renewal but there will be a change at the top of the food chain.
British writer Suzanne Heathcote (Fear the Walking Dead) is taking over for Emerald Fennell, who was at the helm in Season 2, taking over for creator/executive producer and Season 1 lead writer/showrunner Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
Killing Eve finished its first season with an unbroken record of weekly ratings growth in the key adults 25-54 and 18-49 demos – a first for a TV show in Nielsen live+3 ratings. The finale delivered series highs with 1.25 million viewers in live+3, up 86 percent from the premiere, with 545,000 adults 25-54 and 378,000 adults 18-49, up 127 percent and 100 percent from the premiere, respectively.
Killing Eve stars Sandra Oh and Fiona Shaw and revolves around Eve, an MI6 operative, and psychopath assassin Villanelle in this story of two women, bound by a mutual obsession and one brutal act.
Killing Eve’s renewal hits shortly after the series earned 15 BAFTA TV Award nominations, including Leading Actress nominations for Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh, Supporting Actress nomination for Fiona Shaw and Supporting Actor nomination for Kim Bodnia.
