Will there be a Killing Eve season 5? How many episodes are in season 4 - and will there be another series

Killing Eve follows the intertwining lives of a security operative and an assassin.

Eve Polastri, played by Sandra Oh, is bored with her security job that doesn’t scratch her itch for serious spycraft.

Villanelle, played by Jodie Comer, is a crack killer whose deadly job has made her a wealthy woman.

How many episodes are in Killing Eve season 4?

Like the previous three seasons, season four contains eight episodes, and each episode is around 40 minutes long.

Season four of Killing Eve debuted on BBC One on 28 February and the last episode of the season will be released on 17 April.

What is the plot of Killing Eve season 4?

The first three seasons of Killing Eve saw the intense cat and mouse game between Eve and Villanelle play out across Europe.

The pair’s love-hate relationship has been explored as they got each other out of tight places only to go on to try and kill each other.

In season four, Eve continues to pursue the Twelve, a sinister organisation of puppet masters who use assassins as trigger men, and which Villanelle was unwittingly a part of.

Villanelle starts season four at church, desperately trying to find a normal path in life. She tries to turn a new leaf and leave the life of an assassin behind her, in an effort to prove to herself that she has the capacity to change.

These parallel journeys are explored in season four, with Eve single minded on her revenge quest, and Villanelle battling between the darker part of her nature and her better angels.

Will there be another season of Killing Eve?

Unfortunately for fans of the series, season four will be the show’s last, however it may make a return in some other form in the future.

So while Killing Eve may wrap up in April, it’s a spin-off series set in the same universe and with some of the original cast may be in the offing.

Dan McDermott, president of original programming for AMC, previously said that he looked forward to “potential extensions of this compelling universe.”

Kim Bodnia, who plays Villanelle’s mentor in the series, told Metro that there was no right time to end the show and that he would not rule out returning for a fifth season.

It’s possible that Bodnia may reprise his role if a spin-off does get the green light, although it’s unlikely that Comer and Oh will be there as any spin-off will likely feature a new main cast.

How can I watch Killing Eve season 4 on TV?

Episode four of season four will air on BBC One on 26 March at 9.15pm.

If you can’t wait until then it is already available to watch on BBC iPlayer.

All of seasons 1-3 and the first four episodes of season four are available to watch on BBC iPlayer now.
