Killing Eve is getting some good news ahead of its Season three debut. The critically acclaimed drama has been renewed for a fourth season by BBC America, months before the premiere of its third season.
Sarah Barnett, president of AMC Networks Entertainment Group and AMC Studios, had this to say about the early renewal:
“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.”
The renewal carries the show into 2021 so fans will get to see the compelling and deadly game of cat and mouse between Sandra Oh’s Eve Polastri and Jodie Comer’s Villanelle playout for the foreseeable future. Season three of Killing Eve will premiere in the spring, with Suzanne Heathcote taking over from Emerald Fennell as the lead writer.
Killing Eve has been a huge critical darling since its premiere, particularly for the performances of its leads. Comer won a BAFTA and an Emmy last year for her performance as Villanelle, while Oh took home a Golden Globe for playing Polastri.
