Will there be a Killing Eve season three?
Yes! It’s already been commissioned, even before the second season got to air. President of Entertainment Networks for AMC Networks Sarah Barnett told BBC America why the decision to renew Killing Eve was taken, saying, ‘We love having this show and the brilliant Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer and Fiona Shaw on our networks. Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Emerald Fennell have delivered two addictively entertaining seasons (and) as we did last year, we’re renewing Killing Eve right out of the gate. Now with Suzanne Heathcote as lead writer, as a sign of confidence – we adore this show as much as our fans do. Killing Eve doesn’t do anything in a templated way; we love giving opportunity to three genius women to make their mark.'
Look below to be reminded of Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer's best moments...
Jodie Comer And Sandra Oh's Best Bits From Killing Eve
1 of 8Sandra Oh Jodie Comer Killing Eve
Eve and Villanelle's first meeting wasn't like your typical dinner party. Their power dynamic all turned a bit sour when Villianelle brought a knife to Eve's neck and pushed her against the fridge. Casual.
2 of 8Jodie Comer Villanelle
Literally just Villanelle's face every time she kills someone. This will haunt our nightmares.
3 of 8Sandra Oh Karolyn Killing Eve
When Eve let's slip her true obsession with Villanelle, by ranting at Carolyn. (Also, how amazing is Fiona Shaw?!)
4 of 8Sandra Oh Sorry Baby Killing Eve
When Eve gets the suitcase of designer gear from Villanelle. Some enivable handwriting on the "Sorry baby x" note, too!
5 of 8Jodie Comer Villanelle Molly Goddard
Obviously, we just had to include Villanelle wearing Molly Goddard and looking like a pink and dreamy, yet totally murderous marshmallow. Also telling her therapist: "I had quite a heavy period last week, but I think I'm okay."
6 of 8Sandra Oh Konstantin
Eve being badass, and unafraid of death in the car with Konstantin, saying she'd happily die if he told her why Eve wanted to kill him.
7 of 8Jodie Comer Villanelle
Villanelle screaming "Take me to the hoooole!" 11/10
8 of 8Sandra Oh Jodie Comer Killing Eve
The best moment of the whole show - and why we're all so desperate for the next series - is definitely when Villanelle and Eve confess their feelings for each other. You know, before Eve stabs Villanelle. (Spoiler: Eve lives!)
