Killing Eve Gets Season Four

BBC America has renewed Killing Eve for a fourth season, months ahead of the series’ third season premiere.

Based on the Codename Villanelle novellas by Luke Jennings, the Golden Globe- and Emmy-nominated and BAFTA-winning drama stars Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer, Fiona Shaw and Kim Bodnia. Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge wrote Killing Eve’s first season, followed by Emerald Fennell on the second and Suzanne Heathcote on the third. The lead writer for the fourth season has yet to be announced.

Killing Eve is produced by Sid Gentle Films for BBC America and is financed and distributed by Endeavor Content. The series’ third season is expected to bow sometime this spring.

Sarah Barnett, AMC Networks Entertainment Group and AMC Studios president, said: “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 reason for this series’ emphatic embrace is the brilliant women who breathed it into being: Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Emerald Fennell, Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer, Fiona Shaw and its fairy godmother, executive producer Sally Woodward Gentle. Season three lead writer Suzanne Heathcote takes Eve, Villanelle and Carolyn to places more thrilling, twisted and surprising than ever. Our addicted fans will not be disappointed.”

Gentle added: “I am beyond thrilled that we can continue our extraordinary journey. It is a testament to everyone involved that we have been picked up so early—the magnificent actors, writers, directors and production team. We are extremely lucky to work with such fierce and dedicated people.”
