Killing Eve’s final season, starring Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer, ‘a bigger journey’ than ever before
- The BBC show’s executive producer says viewers should prepare for ‘how much more personal’ the final season of spy thriller Killing Eve is
- Sandra Oh says the lead character has ‘clearly gained skills’, while Jodie Comer says viewers will ‘really, truly see’ how much Villanelle has changed
Killing Eve stars Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer say the spy thriller’s fourth and final season quickly makes clear that their characters have changed.
And viewers should prepare for “how much more personal it is” as the hit series unspools to its eight-episode conclusion, says executive producer Sally Woodward Gentle.
“This is going to be a bigger journey than they’ve been on in any other season, and more emotionally charged,” says Woodward Gentle, who has guided Killing Eve throughout its successful run.
She spoke from London in a break from monitoring post-production work on the last episode of the drama, which is available on BBC First on Now TV.
There are two “really brilliant new characters” this season, the producer says, and the welcome return of Camille Cottin as the powerful and well-connected – or more accurately, ill-connected – Hélène.
