According to BBC America, the network has announced “Killing Eve” returns for a third season this spring, and not only that, the network is betting big on the series and already announced that Season 4 is in the works, as well. That’s great news for fans of quality TV and those looking for something a bit better than the flood of forgettable series that seem to arrive on an almost daily basis.
Sarah Barnett, President, AMC Networks Entertainment Group and AMC Studios 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 it’s fairy godmother, executive producer Sally Woodward Gentle. Season 3 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.”
“I am beyond thrilled that we can continue our extraordinary journey,” said Executive Producer Sally Woodward Gentle. “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.”
As mentioned, “Killing Eve” is already finishing up production on its third season, which is set to premiere sometime this spring, but an official date has yet to be announced.
