Without giving too much away, Eve (Sandra Oh) finds her way back into the employ of the secret service pretty early on in season two. And with this job comes new colleagues. There’s a sassy pathologist whose one-liners are legendary. (“Forgive the smell,” she says. “He has been the tiniest bit exhumed.”) And then there’s Jess (Nina Sosanya), running point on Eve’s new investigation and running circles around token posh boy Hugo (Edward Bluemel).

It’s nice to have new sparring partners for Eve, but we do miss Elena (Kirby Howell-Baptiste). Never fear, though, Carolyn (Fiona Shaw) is back with all her usual razor-sharp humour and so is Kenny (Sean Delaney), adorable as ever.

New antagonists for Villanelle

After stab-gate in season one, Villanelle (Jodie Comer) is consumed with a desire to get back to Eve. The pair are locked in a cat-and-mouse game, and Villanelle is convinced that by stabbing her Eve proved to her just how much she really loves her.

But as the season unfolds, Villanelle will learn that she has a couple of other fish to fry, too. There’s a new assassin running around town killing people, which diverts everyone – including Eve’s – attention away from her. “Suddenly there’s someone between them for the first time,” Fennell said at a press conference. And Villanelle has a new handler, too. (She shot Konstantin last season, remember?)
