About Killing Eve

Killing Eve is a BBC America spy thriller, developed for television by Phoebe Waller-Bridge from Luke Jennings's novels, that ran from 2018 to 2022. It follows the obsessive, electrifying cat-and-mouse between Eve Polastri, a bored British intelligence officer, and Villanelle, a flamboyant and brilliant assassin — a pursuit that curdles into a dangerous mutual fixation blurring every line between hunter and hunted.

Stylish, darkly funny, and anchored by two magnetic female leads, the series reinvented the spy thriller around a queer-coded obsession, trading gadgets for psychology and wit. Its fashion, globe-trotting set pieces, and the crackling chemistry between its stars made it a sensation, launching a thousand think-pieces and a devoted fandom.

Led by Sandra Oh and an Emmy-winning Jodie Comer, Killing Eve is a singular, addictive thriller.
