Los Angeles
Villanelle’s future may be uncertain, but “Killing Eve’s” isn’t: The bewitching drama has been renewed for Season 3, and it’s getting another woman as its lead writer.
The renewal announcement came from BBC America on Monday, just a day after the show’s Season 2 premiere was simulcast on AMC.
The addictive series, based on Luke Jennings’ “Codename Villanelle” novellas, stars Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer and Fiona Shaw.
It revolves around MI6 operative Eve Polastri (Oh) and her pursuit of psychopath assassin Villanelle (Comer), whose choice of pajamas during Sunday’s premiere might have already given rise to Halloween costume ideas.
Oh has already racked up accolades, including a Golden Globe, SAG Award, Critics’ Choice Award and Dorian Award for her portrayal of Eve. Comer has received the Royal Television Society Award and Broadcasting Press Guild Award.

The series, produced by Sid Gentle Films Ltd. for BBC America, will continue its tradition of female writing voices: British writer Suzanne Heathcote (“Fear the Walking Dead”) has boarded the series as the lead writer for Season 3, inheriting the role passed down from creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Season 1) to Emerald Fennell (Season 2).
“I’m very excited that the ‘Killing Eve’ baton is being passed onto another incredible writer for season 3. We can sleep soundly knowing these characters are safe in Suzanne Heathcote’s hilariously murderous hands,” Waller-Bridge (“Fleabag,” “Solo: A Star Wars Story”) said in a statement.
Season 3 will be executive produced by Sally Woodward Gentle, Lee Morris, Waller-Bridge, Gina Mingacci, Damon Thomas and Oh. Heathcote and Jeff Melvoin (“Designated Survivor,” “Alias)” have also joined that team.
“As we did last year, we’re renewing ‘Killing Eve’ right out of the gate, now with Suzanne Heathcote as lead writer, as a sign of confidence, we adore this show as much as our fans do,” said Sarah Barnett, president of Entertainment Networks for AMC Networks. “‘Killing Eve’ doesn’t do anything in a templated way; we love giving opportunity to three genius women to make their mark.”
