It is produced by Sid Gentle Films for BBC America, with Waller-Bridge serving as writer and executive producer. The drama will premiere in a prime-time slot on BBC One, and BBC Three will make it available as a box set on BBC iPlayer.<\/p>\n<p>Sandra Oh (<em>Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em>) is Eve, a bored MI5 security officer whose desk job does not fulfill her fantasies of being a spy. Jodie Comer (<em>Doctor Foster<\/em>) is Villanelle, a fearsome assassin clinging to the luxuries her violent job affords her.<\/p>\n<p>Damian Kavanagh, the controller of BBC Three, said: &#8220;I\u2019m delighted that BBC Three will partner with BBC One to bring audiences <em>Killing Eve<\/em>. It is one of the most exciting series of recent times and not only do we get to work with Phoebe again, who is a fantastic writer with a unique voice, the brilliant Jodie Comer will be back on BBC Three after her star turn in <em>Thirteen<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sue Deeks, BBC head of program acquisition, added: \u201c<em>Killing Eve<\/em> is a startlingly original thriller. In turn, both laugh-out-loud funny and edge-of-your-seat gripping, Phoebe Waller-Bridge has filled her new series with an array of wonderful characters brought to life by a dream cast.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BBC has acquired Killing Eve, a new thriller from writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":9106,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1490],"class_list":["post-9105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-killing-eve","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
