And viewers are sure to see even more drama as Suzanne Heathcote (Fear the Walking Dead) will be replacing Emerald Fennell as the new show runner and lead writer.

The popular show is based on the Codename Villanelle novellas by Luke Jennings and follows MI5 officer Eve Polastri as she hunts down elusive assassin Villanelle.

Creator Sally Woodward Gentle has previously spoken out about Eve’s possible death, telling the Hollywood Reporter: “Who knows? It is called Killing Eve but also Eve is all women, so what does that mean? Who knows?”

Although the new series is in the pipeline, no details or release date has been made available yet. But watch this space!
