Killing Eve is still a few months away from the premiere of its third season, but BBC America has already renewed the critically acclaimed series for a fourth. The series follows Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh), a desk-bound MI5 officer who begins tracking down an extremely talented yet psychopathic assassin by the name of Villanelle (Jodie Comer), but even as Polastri's pursuit begins costing lives, the two women find themselves becoming obsessed with one another.

"How could we not have massive confidence in Killing Eve? It has won big in every major award show and is the highest growing show on U.S. television for six years," said AMC Networks Entertainment Group and AMC Studios president Sarah Barnett in a statement. "The reason for this series’ emphatic embrace is the brilliant women who breathed it into being: Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Emerald Fennell, Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer, Fiona Shaw and it’s fairy godmother, executive producer Sally Woodward Gentle. Season 3 lead writer Suzanne Heathcote takes Eve, Villanelle and Carolyn to places more thrilling, twisted and surprising than ever. Our addicted fans will not be disappointed." Unlike other shows, each season of Killing Even has purposely been handled by a new creative team. The first season of the series was brought to us by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag), with the second season placing Emerald Fennell (PROMISING YOUNG WOMEN) in the role, and the upcoming third season has been overseen by Suzanne Heathcote (Fear the Walking Dead). A showrunner for the fourth season hasn't yet been announced, but series executive producer Sally Woodward Gentle is thrilled about bringing audiences the next step in Eve and Villanelle's relationship.
