It probably won't even take you until the end of the thrilling first episode [1] of BBC America's Killing Eve [2] to realise that it's your new TV obsession. After all, it has everything you could want in a spy thriller: Grey's Anatomy [3]'s Sandra Oh [4] as a slightly spazzy (and absolutely brilliant) MI5 officer, a psychopathic assassin for her to hunt down (Doctor Foster's Jodie Comer), some seriously fantastic coats, and more than a few top-notch accents. Fortunately, we have good news: Killing Eve, which hails from the mind of Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge, has already been renewed for season two [5].
"This show has the thunder of women on both sides of the chase in Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer and, importantly, behind the camera with the lavishly brilliant Phoebe Waller-Bridge," BBC America president Sarah Barnett said of the show's early renewal on April 5. "The early response to Killing Eve has been incredible — for that reason, as well as the fact that we wholeheartedly love this original, funny, thrillingly entertaining series, we are delighted to move ahead with a second season before we even premiere."
This means that Waller-Bridge could have season two on the air hopefully by the same time next year, which is excellent news considering we're already having trouble stomaching that cliffhanger.
