Who is Killing Eve's Hugo? Everything you need to know about BBC series

MI6 operative Eve, and psychopathic assassin Villanelle returned to our screens last week as the second series of Killing Eve premiered.

Season two picked up the action 30 seconds after the events of the final episode of the first season; with Eve returning to London and Villanelle attempting to recover from her injuries.

The first episode was left on a cliffhanger as Villanelle travelled back to England in search of Eve.

Saturday's instalment will see a number of new characters introduced to the show including the charming Hugo.

Hugo on Killing Eve (BBC)

Who is Hugo in Killing Eve?

Hugo is a young, new member of the MI6 team who has walked his way into the job through family connections.

He’s almost an intern, the whipping boy, doing all the dogsbody work.

He comes from a very wealthy background, having been to Eton and Oxford.

He’s very intelligent and incredibly ambitious. He’s not afraid to step over people to get what he wants.

Despite being the lowest ranking member of the team, he’s got his eyes on bigger things.

His upbringing and background made it quite easy for him and he hasn’t had to work as hard as the other members of the team.

People like him and find him affable, but under the surface there’s something quite dark there.

Who plays Hugo in Killing Eve?

Edward Bluemel plays Hugo in Killing Eve.
