About Killing Eve

"Killing Eve" is a British dark comedy-drama spy thriller television series, which was first launched in 2018. The plot follows Eve Polastri, an intelligence investigator tasked with capturing psychopathic assassin Villanelle. As the case proceeds, the two develop a mutual obsession which proves both dangerous and exciting. The series' unique mix of drama, comedy, and thriller genres have gained it high acclaim and makes it unlike anything else on television.

Making / Production

The series is produced by Sid Gentle Films for BBC America. It is based on the 'Villanelle' novel series, written by Luke Jennings. The first season was written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Each subsequent season has featured a new female head writer – Emerald Fennell for the second season, Suzanne Heathcote for the third, and Laura Neal for the fourth.

Actors

  • Sandra Oh as Eve Polastri. Oh masterfully paints the picture of a bored MI5 security officer whose life takes a thrilling turn.
  • Jodie Comer as Villanelle. Comer's portrayal of a talented murderer who becomes equally as fascinated with her pursuer has been recognized as a standout performance.
  • Fiona Shaw as Carolyn Martens. Shaw's character acts as the head of the Russian section at MI6 and brings a sense of depth and complexity to the role.
  • Kim Bodnia as Konstantin. Konstantin is Villanelle's handler and Bodnia, with his expressive acting, makes the character multi-faceted and interesting to watch.
