AMC’s giving fans of Killing Eve another outlet for viewing season two episodes. The new season will air simultaneously on BBC America and AMC beginning April 7, 2019 at 8pm ET/PT.
“When we launched Killing Eve on BBC AMERICA last year we had high hopes, but no idea it would become this obsession,” stated Sarah Barnett, President, Entertainment Networks for AMC Networks. “We believe we’ve just hit the tip of the iceberg in terms of potential viewers and we want to expose this brilliant series to the largest audience we can. That’s what’s behind this move… to have a big, premium network like AMC introduce this fantastic storytelling to an even broader array of viewers and fans.”
Season one of the critically acclaimed drama earned Critics’ Choice, Screen Actors Guild, and Golden Globe awards. The series was also nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards.
Killing Eve also pulled off a feat no other series has managed over its first season, increasing its viewership over each new episode. The first season finale was seen by 1.25 million viewers which was, according to AMC Networks, an 86% increase over the series premiere.
The cast is led by Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh. Sally Woodward Gentle, Lee Morris, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Gina Mingacci and lead writer Emerald Fennell executive produce the drama based on the Codename Villanelle novellas by Luke Jennings.
Executive producer Damon Thomas, Lisa Brühlmann, and Francesca Gregorini directed episodes of season two.
The Plot:
Killing Eve revolves around Eve (Oh), an MI6 operative, and psychopath assassin Villanelle (Comer) in this story of two women, bound by a mutual obsession and one brutal act. In the second season, the action picks up just 36 seconds after the end of the final episode of season one. Villanelle has disappeared and Eve is left reeling, having no idea if the woman she stabbed is alive or dead. With both of them in deep trouble, Eve has to find Villanelle before someone else does…but unfortunately, she’s not the only person looking for her.
