Based on Luke Jennings’ series of thriller novellas, Codename Villanelle,  Killing Eve stars Jodie Comer as Villanelle, a self-described psychopathic killer for hire. Her string of corpses catches the attention of an MI5 (later MI6) officer named Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh), who is obsessed with female killers and correctly guesses there is a new player among their ranks. What follows is a sexually charged cat-and-mouse game where it’s not entirely clear who is the predator and who is the prey.

Premiering April 7 at 8/7c on BBC America and AMC, the new season of Killing Eve picks up just 30 seconds after season one ends.
