TV Show directory - Killing Eve

Killing Eve is an award-winning British comedy-drama television series that has enjoyed an enormous amount of success worldwide. The series follows Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh), a British intelligence investigator tasked with capturing psychopathic assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer). Based on the Villanelle novel series by Luke Jennings, each series of the show is led by a different female head writer. The first had Phoebe Waller-Bridge, while Emerald Fennell took over for the second series. Subsequently, Suzanne Heathcote was the head writer for series three and Laura Neal followed through as series four's.

Killing Eve is produced in the United Kingdom by Sid Gentle Films for BBC America and BBC iPlayer, premiering on BBC America, BBC iPlayer and BBC Three in 2018. The series has been lauded by audiences and critics alike, winning several prestigious awards for its writing, directing and performances from the cast (Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer, Fiona Shaw). These include success at the Golden Globes, Primetime Emmy Awards, BAFTA Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards and more.

The series overturns the classic presentation of a spy TV format, focussing on two cunning and fearless women, bound by their obsession with each other and allowing their self-destructive tendencies to elevate their maniacal game of cat and mouse.
