One of the best things we’ve seen spring up from the advent of streaming TV is the willingness by studios and networks to end shows before they grow too stale. No more do you have to wonder why a network continuously renewing a show long past its clear expiration date. Now, the likes of Netflix, AMC, Hulu, FX, and others are much more willing to listen to creators and end a series when the story has come to a conclusion. That appears to be what BBC America is set to do with Season 4 of “Killing Eve.” And one of the series’ stars, Jodie Comer, wants fans to know the series actually is coming to an end and this isn’t some sort of fake-out.

Speaking to Variety, Comer teased the end of the Emmy-winning series, “Killing Eve.” While she didn’t give anything spoiler-y away, the actress did explain that the story that began several years ago with an intelligence officer (Sandra Oh) tracking down an assassin (Comer), will be officially coming to a conclusion at the exact right time, which is a benefit for fans, even if it does seem sudden.
“We never, ever want for that [quality] to drop or to carry on a story for the sake of carrying on, whether that be greed or whatever the reason,” said Comer. “It feels like where we are right now, it feels natural that we’ve come to this point where, now, we can really focus on the ending.”
However, even though a series is set to end, we know that it’s not always the end-end. We’ve seen many networks decide to take popular series and spin them off to keep the IP and franchise alive, and “Killing Eve” is no stranger to those sorts of discussions. That said, don’t expect Comer to show up in any proposed spinoffs, as of now.
She added, “I’ve by no means been a part of any [spinoff] conversations.”
Now, all fans have to do is to continue to be patient and wait for news about when “Killing Eve” Season 4 will actually debut. With the pandemic throwing everything for a loop and delaying the return of the award-winning season, it’s likely we won’t see the end of “Killing Eve” until well into 2022.
