Based on the novellas by Luke Jennings, Killing Eve centres on a psychopathic assassin (Comer) and Eve (Oh) who is the woman tasked with hunting her down.

BBC America president Sarah Barnett said of the early renewal: “This show has the thunder of women on both sides of the chase in Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer and, importantly, behind the camera with the lavishly brilliant Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

“The early response to ‘Killing Eve’ has been incredible — for that reason, as well as the fact that we wholeheartedly love this original, funny, thrillingly entertaining series, we are delighted to move ahead with a second season before we even premiere.”

Killing Eve is set to debut in the US on 8th April on BBC America.
