“I’m very excited that the Killing Eve baton is being passed onto another incredible writer for season 3,” Waller-Bridge said in a statement. “We can sleep soundly knowing these characters are safe in Suzanne Heathcote’s hilariously murderous hands.”

Fennell said she liked the “tradition” of Killing Eve getting a new showrunner with each new season.

“It’s been such an exciting year for me on Killing Eve,” she said. “I think it’s cool that this tradition has been built into this untraditional show. Inheriting some of Phoebe’s characters was a treat — I can’t wait to see what Suzanne does next.”

Killing Eve has so far been nominated for over 30 awards, including 14 at this year’s upcoming Baftas. However, while the second series has already premiered in the US, viewers in the UK won’t be able to watch it until season two has finished airing across the pond.

That’s because BBC America has exclusive rights to show the second series first – meaning that a date has still not been set for the show’s return to UK screens.
