Killing Eve
Killing Eve follows spy-assassin thrills with psychopath killer "Villanelle" and MI6 investigator "Eve Polastri." Through three seasons, the BBC series has established Comer as a star and won acclaim for its style, strong performances, and dark humour.
Killing Eve debuted in 2018, when fans were first introduced to Russian assassin "Villanelle" AKA "Oksana Astankova" (Jodie Comer). The psychopathic yet fan-favourite killer is on the radar of MI6, which recruits investigator "Eve Polastri" (Sandra Oh) to track her down. "Villanelle" and "Eve" grow increasingly obsessed with one another, building a deadly and transgressive connection as the series progresses.
