'Killing Eve' Sets Final Season Premiere Date

It's the end of an era, sort of. While acclaimed drama Killing Eve will only have aired four seasons and fewer than 40 episodes by the time its final credits roll, the dark drama that followed the story of an intelligence agent and the assassin with whom she becomes obsessed has doubtless influenced the pop culture zeitgeist in countless ways, from its iconic fashion to its deliberate centering of women both in front of and behind the camera.   But the long-awaited fourth season, which, like many series of its ilk, was plagued by pandemic delays, is finally upon us, as BBC America has officially announced the premiere date for its final run of episodes.

The first two episodes of Killing Eve Season 4 will officially premiere on BBC America on Sunday, February 27 at 8 pm. Episodes will also air weekly on terrestrial AMC beginning Monday, February 28. However, AMC+ subscribers will be able to watch the season's episodes a week earlier than their broadcast debuts.

Season 4 will attempt to pick up where the previous season's finale left off after a series of events finally forced intelligence agent Eve Polastri (Golden Globe winner Sandra Oh) and murderer Villanelle (Emmy winner Jodie Comer) to acknowledge both the toxicity of their obsessions with one another and their mutual inability to leave their relationship behind. Thought the season's final shot saw the pair staring longingly at one another from opposite sides of London's iconic Tower of London, it sounds as though we'll see both women trying to move on as the series returns.
