Season Three is the third season of the BBC America television series Killing Eve. The third season was announced on April 8, 2019, just a day after the second season premiered. It was scheduled to premiere Sunday, April 26, 2020 but the premiere was moved up two weeks to April 12 due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Synopsis[]

Eve is a bored, whip-smart, pay-grade MI5 security officer whose desk-bound job doesn’t fulfill her fantasies of being a spy. Villanelle is a mercurial, talented killer who clings to the luxuries her violent job affords her. Killing Eve continues to follow these two women, equally obsessed with each other, as they go head to head in an epic game of cat and mouse. Based on the Villanelle novellas by Luke Jennings.
