‘Killing Eve’: Sandra Oh & Jodie Comer Promise a Bloody, Exciting Final Season (VIDEO)
All good things must end — including Killing Eve. How this very good darkly comic spy thriller will wrap up its fourth and final season promises to be spectacular thanks to the chemistry between mutually obsessed bureaucrat-turned-avenger Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) and assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer).
Oh tells us that from the get-go, which picks up a few months after the women parted ways on London’s Tower Bridge, Eve’s “different physically, she’s gained skills, spent time learning how to fight, use weapons, ride a motorcycle. But still always with that focus, and this focus is specifically and still on the revenge mission to get to The Twelve.”
The Twelve, that shadowy global power group that employed Villanelle, aren’t in the ex-killer’s crosshairs in the premiere.
“She’s put her faith in God, found the church, and is on this quest to be good,” Comer says. “People have said [to her], whether it be Eve or her mom, ‘you will always stand for such terrible things, that is who you are.’ She is so determined to prove that wrong.”
It’s not spoiling anything to say that, as hard as Villanelle tries, she does kill again. So does the season get as bloody as in years past? “It definitely does,” Comer says, “I was excited to see Villanelle [with] her old fire ignited.” Don’t stand too close to those flames, Eve. (We know you will).
