Based on the Villanelle novel series by Luke Jennings, each of the show's series is led by a different female head writer. As the chase progresses, the two develop a mutual obsession. The series follows Eve Polastri ( Sandra Oh), a British intelligence investigator tasked with capturing psychopathic assassin Villanelle ( Jodie Comer). We couldn’t imagine a world where Eve and Villanelle could exist in domestic bliss for very long.” She also saw the episode’s final moments as “a happy ending for Villanelle in some respects, because she gets what she wants, which is that she demonstrates that she’s changed, and she does this thing for Eve that allows Eve to go on and live her life.Killing Eve is a British spy thriller television series, produced in the United Kingdom by Sid Gentle Films for BBC America and BBC Three. But our problem was that we couldn’t really imagine them doing so. In a conversation with TVLine, Neal revealed that the Killing Eve writers “certainly discussed an ending where both live happily ever after. “How much more darkly satisfying, and true to Killing Eve‘s original spirit, for the couple to walk off into the sunset together?” That’s the Villanelle that I wrote, that Phoebe turned into a screen character, and that Jodie ran with so gloriously.”īut the series finale was instead “a bowing to convention,” he says, and “a punishing of Villanelle and Eve for the bloody, erotically impelled chaos they have caused.” He notes that “a truly subversive storyline would have defied the trope which sees same-sex lovers in TV dramas permitted only the most fleeting of relationships before one of them is killed off,” citing Lexa’s death on The 100 as another infamous example. Jennings first shares what a thrill it’s been to see his work brought to life on TV, but he admits that “the final series ending took me aback.” He recalls that when series creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge “and I first discussed Villanelle’s character five years ago, we agreed that she was defined by what Phoebe called her ‘glory’: her subversiveness, her savage power, her insistence on lovely things.
