AMC to Simulcast Season 2 of Killing Eve

In the U.S., AMC will simulcast season two of the BBC America series Killing Eve, which returns April 7 at 9 p.m.

“When we launched Killing Eve on BBC America last year we had high hopes, but no idea it would become this obsession,” said Sarah Barnett, president of entertainment networks for AMC Networks. “We believe we’ve just hit the tip of the iceberg in terms of potential viewers and we want to expose this brilliant series to the largest audience we can. That’s what’s behind this move—to have a big, premium network like AMC introduce this fantastic storytelling to an even broader array of viewers and fans.”

Produced by Sid Gentle Films, Killing Eve centers on Eve (Sandra Oh), an MI6 operative, and psychopath assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer) in a story of two women, bound by a mutual obsession and one brutal act. In the second season, the action picks up just 36 seconds after the end of the final episode of season one.
