Killing Eve is currently airing season three and the stakes between Eve and Villanelle are higher than ever before.

So far in the current innings the two characters – played by Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer – have yet to come face to face following their dramatic stand-off in Rome which saw Villanelle shoot the MI6 agent and leave her for dead.

Although we know that Eve survived the shooting, it got us thinking, would Killing Eve continue if one of the two main characters were brutally killed?

Metro.co.uk caught up with showrunner Suzanne Heathcote who teased that the hit BBC America show might still carry on if one of the leading ladies was murdered.




‘I would say anything is possible in the world of Killing Eve,’ Suzanne told us. ‘It’s such a rich world and there are many beloved characters.

‘That’s both the challenge and the joy and so you know, who knows? Who knows where it will go but it will be something completely unexpected.’

Killing Eve has already been renewed for a fourth series, with Sex Education producer Laura Neal set to take over the helm.

Speaking about Laura’s upcoming tenure, Suzanne enthused: ‘She is so brilliant and she has the most amazing ideas, her brain just goes places that no one else could ever imagine.

‘I know season four is going to be bonkers brilliant. I don’t know what they’re making but I know it’s going to be good.

‘There are infinite places you can go with Killing Eve and that’s the joy of it. Certainly for this season, I felt we had to take some risks in order to try and surprise people.’

Killing Eve series 3 episodes land on BBC iPlayer on Mondays.
