Based on the novellas by Luke Jennings and written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Killing Eve centres on two women; Eve is a bored, whip-smart, pay-grade MI5 security officer whose desk-bound job doesn’t fulfil her fantasies of being a spy. Villanelle is a mercurial, talented killer who clings to the luxuries her violent job affords her. Killing Eve topples the typical spy-action thriller as these two fiercely intelligent women, equally obsessed with each other, go head to head in an epic game of cat and mouse. Stars Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy), Jodie Comer (Doctor Foster), Fiona Shaw (True Blood) and Owen McDonnell (Paula).

EPISODE 2 – I’LL DEAL WITH HIM LATER
In the aftermath of her recent assignment, Villanelle is ordered to take a break. Never one to do as she’s told, she goes ahead with her next mission regardless. Meanwhile, Eve is given a dream opportunity to join a secret MI6 unit tracking Villanelle and the shady organisation she works for.
