Annoyingly, BBC One hasn’t announced when the series will be shown in the UK. But BBC director of content Charlotte Moore confirmed during the Steve Hewlett Memorial Lecture back in October that fans won’t have to wait “quite so long” as they did for the first series, which arrived on UK screens six months after its BBC America debut.
Sarah Barnett, President of AMC Entertainment Networks said the second series will pick up where the series one finale left off. Villanelle has disappeared, and Eve has no idea if the woman she stabbed is alive or dead. With both of them in deep trouble, Eve has to find Villanelle before someone else does… but unfortunately, she’s not the only person looking for her.
She said:
“Killing Eve is picking up exactly 36 heart-thumping seconds after the events of the season finale. “This new season is packed with superlative performances and is as twisty, subversive, darkly funny, nerve-wracking and pleasurable as our fans could desire.”
Roll on April!
