The announcement also came with the release of a behind-the-scenes teaser which you can check out below, teasing the return of Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer’s fan-favorite duo Eve and Villanelle. Season 4 is currently slated for a 2022 release.

Based on the novella by Luke Jennings, BBCA’s Killing Eve centers on two women; Eve (Sandra Oh) is a bored, whip-smart, pay-grade security services operative whose desk-bound job doesn’t fulfill her fantasies of being a spy. Villanelle (Jodie Comer) is an elegant, talented killer who clings to the luxuries her violent job affords her. Killing Eve topples the typical spy-action thriller as these two fiercely intelligent women, equally obsessed with each other, go head to head in an epic game of cat and mouse.

The final season will be headed by new lead writer Laura Neal, who has also been set as the showrunner and executive producer for the fourth season, following in the footsteps of Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Emerald Fennell, and Suzanne Heathcote. In addition, AMC Networks has also previously confirmed that they’re planning to expand the Killing Eve universe with a number of potential spinoff ideas currently in development.
