KILLING EVE Will End with Season 4, but There Are Spinoffs in Development
Killing Eve has been one hell of an enjoyable show to watch, and the spy thriller is coming to an end with Season 4. The critically-acclaimed series was renewed for a fourth season in January 2020, but filming was delayed due to the pandemic.
Production on Season 4 is now scheduled to begin in early summer, and the final season will consist of eight episodes.
Killing Eve is based on the “Villanelle” novels by Luke Jennings and follows a British Intelligence operative who engages in a game of cat and mouse with an international assassin.
Now, I know fans will be bummed out to learn that Killing Eve is ending, but don’t know worry! AMC Networks and Sid Gentle Films Ltd, which produces the show, are currently working on developing potential spinoffs to expand on the world of the series. There are currently no details on what those spinoffs will entail, but it’ll be interesting to see where they take the franchise.
Series star Sandra Oh said in a statement:
“’Killing Eve’ has been one of my greatest experiences and I look forward to diving back into Eve’s remarkable mind soon. I’m so grateful for all cast and crew who have brought our story to life and to the fans who have joined us and will be back for our exciting and unpredictable fourth and final season.”
Star Jodie Comer added:
“’Killing Eve’ has been the most extraordinary journey and one that I will be forever grateful for. Thank you to all the fans who’ve supported us throughout and come along for the ride. Although all good things come to an end, it’s not over yet. We aim to make this one to remember!”
Producer Woodward Gentle went on to say:
“We have been unbelievably blessed to work with extraordinary human beings throughout the life of Killing Eve. From the magical Phoebe, to the delectable Emerald, Suzanne and now Laura, headed by the super-powers of Sandra, Jodie, Fiona and Kim, and with brilliantly talented directors and crew. No one knew what an adventure we were embarking on and there’s so much more to come. Buckle up!”
Laura Neal will serve as the head writer, showrunner, and executive producer on Season 4 in keeping with the show’s tradition of naming a new head writer each season.
