I'd like to apologize up front for the person I become during Killing Eve Season 4.
Hi, yes, hello. If you've ever had a conversation with me, then chances are you've heard me talk about my undying love for Killing Eve.

Starring Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer, Fiona Shaw, and more, Killing Eve tells the story of Eve, a British intelligence investigator who is tasked with capturing the psychopathic assassin Villanelle. And, yes, it has been a beautiful game of cat and mouse since it debuted in 2018.
BBC America
The series has gone on to win numerous awards, including a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a TV Series Drama for Sandra, an Emmy Award for Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series for Jodie Comer, and a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress for Fiona Shaw.

At the time, Jodie Comer was even the youngest person ever to take home the Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series award at the Emmys. Zendaya now holds that title after winning for Euphoria in 2020. And behind the scenes, writers Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Emerald Fennell, and more have been nominated for Emmys, Golden Globes, and every other award you can think of.
So, while I'd love to see this show go on forever, Killing Eve will begin its fourth and final season on Feb. 27.

There are massive spoilers below for Killing Eve.
After Eve and Villanelle's bridge meetup — which I think about at least once a day, please don't judge me — Eve, Villanelle, and Carolyn are in very different places.
BBC America
First, Eve is on a revenge mission alongside Yusuf, a new character who we will get into more below.
Meanwhile, Villanelle has found a brand-new community in an attempt to prove that she is not a "monster."

I would do anything for Villanelle — it's such a problem.
And Carolyn is now going to extraordinary lengths to continue to chase down The Twelve, namely the person who ordered the hit on Kenny.
Writer Laura Neal, who is best known for her work on Sex Education and Secret Diary of a Call Girl, will continue the Killing Eve tradition of having a new (female) head writer/showrunner for every season.

Laura follows in the footsteps of Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Emerald Fennell, and Suzanne Heathcote.
Alongside the main cast, Anjana Vasan, Robert Gilbert, and Marie-Sophie Ferdane have all joined Season 4. And Camille Cottin, who played Hélène in Season 4, has been upped to a series regular.

Anjana will play Pam, a young new assassin in training. Robert will play Yusuf, a charismatic ex-Army guy who works closely with Eve. And Marie-Sophie will take on the role of Gunn, an assassin who is described as having "even more issues than Villanelle."
Teasing the final season, Jodie Comer said Laura Neal and the writers have "really pushed the boundaries with Villanelle."

Jodie also revealed that she only had one final request when speaking to Laura Neal about Season 4. She explained, "I wanted Villanelle’s fire reignited, as I felt it had fizzled out a bit. There is a particular moment that’s like nothing we’ve ever done in Killing Eve."
You can check out the full final season trailer below, and be sure to watch Killing Eve on Feb. 27 at 9 p.m. ET on BBC America.
