The first trailer for the much-anticipated second season of Killing Eve has been unveiled and features psychosexual drama, black comedy and at least one ominous shot of a kitchen knife.
Developed by Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the BBC spy drama, which first aired last year, stars Jodie Comer as the ruthless globe-hopping assassin Villanelle and Sandra Oh as Eve Polastri, the MI5 officer tasked with hunting her down. The series was a hit with viewers, becoming one of the most watched series on the BBC iPlayer. It also received widespread acclaim from critics, and was named the Guardian’s best TV show of 2018.
The trailer for the new season addresses the cliffhanger at the end of the first, which saw Villanelle flee her Paris apartment after being stabbed by Eve. A worried Eve admits to her superiors that she “might have killed her”. Later we see a wounded Villanelle collapsing while attempting to escape from a hospital bed, before returning to her ruthless activities of season one.
Killing Eve’s second season airs on Sunday 7 April on BBC America, with a UK air date still to be confirmed.
