Killing Eve to end with season 4

Killing Eve season four will be its last.

According to a report by Variety, the critically-acclaimed BBC America series, which had been renewed for a fourth season back in January 2020, will be wrapping up its storyline then. Filming for this season was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic but it is scheduled to resume in early summer in the U.K. and other locations across Europe. The last season will consist of eight episodes. There are talks of potential spinoffs set in the show’s universe.

Series star Sandrah Oh (who plays the titular Eve) shared a statement about the ending of the show:

“Killing Eve has been one of my greatest experiences and I look forward to diving back into Eve’s remarkable mind soon…I’m so grateful for all cast and crew who have brought our story to life and to the fans who have joined us and will be back for our exciting and unpredictable fourth and final season.”

Co-star Jodie Comer (who plays Villanelle) also shared her thoughts on the series finale:

“Killing Eve has been the most extraordinary journey and one that I will be forever grateful for…Thank you to all the fans who’ve supported us throughout and come along for the ride. Although all good things come to an end, it’s not over yet. We aim to make this one to remember!”

Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag) created the series, based on the Villanelle novels by Luke Jennings. Waller Bridge also served as showrunner for the first season, followed by Emerald Fennell (The Crown) for the second season and Suzanne Heathcote (Fear the Walking Dead) for the third season. The fourth and final season will have yet another showrunner, in Laura Neal.

Sally Woodward Gentle also executive produces Season 4 along with Neal, Lee Morris, Waller-Bridge, Gina Mingacci, Damon Thomas, and Oh. Sid Gentle Films Ltd. produces.

Woodward Gentle said:

“We have been unbelievably blessed to work with extraordinary human beings throughout the life of Killing Eve…From the magical Phoebe, to the delectable Emerald, Suzanne and now Laura, headed by the super-powers of Sandra, Jodie, Fiona and Kim, and with brilliantly talented directors and crew. No one knew what an adventure we were embarking on and there’s so much more to come. Buckle up!”

President of original programming for AMC Networks, Dan McDermott, also shared this statement about the show:

“Killing Eve exploded in popular culture and attracted a dedicated and committed fan base from its very first episode…Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s brilliant adaptation of the source material, the unforgettable characters given life by Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer, and the entire cast, along with our partners at Sid Gentle Films, have delivered a one-of-a-kind roller-coaster ride that has taken our breath away. We could not be more thankful for the extraordinary talents and efforts of everyone involved, particularly Sandra and Jodie, who made Killing Eve much more than a television show. We look forward to what is sure to be an unforgettable final season and to exploring potential extensions of this compelling universe.”
