Fans of spy thriller series, here’s a heads up for you. An acclaimed spy series is leaving Prime Video India soon – as soon as in five days. The series that is leaving Prime Video India soon is the multiple award-winning British series ‘Killing Eve’. All four seasons of Killing Eve are leaving Prime Video India on 9th April, 2024.
Killing Eve is a British show, created for BBC by acclaimed actress, writer and director, Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Four seasons of the show have been released up till now. It is set in the world of British intelligence, and centres on a female spy who becomes obsessed with hunting down an elusive female assassin.
As the seasons progress, an intriguing relationship develops between the spy and the killer. Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh play the serial killer Villanelle and MI5 spy Eve Polastri respectively. Fiona Shaw plays MI5 boss, Carolyn Martens; while Kim Bodnia plays Konstantin Vasiliev, Villanelle’s handler in the show.
The first season of the series was based on the book ‘Codename Villanelle’, written by Luke Jennings. Subsequent seasons have followed their own trajectory as far as the story goes. The show has been famous for having only female writers heading the writing duties. Phoebe Waller-Bridge wrote Season 1, Emerald Fennell wrote Season 2, and Suzanne Heathcote wrote Season 3. Sex Education writer Laura Neal has written Killing Eve Season 4. Also, our very own Anu Menon has directed several episodes of Killing Eve Season 4.
Ths official synopsis of Killing Eve reads – “Eve is a bored, whip-smart security services operative whose desk-bound job doesn’t fulfill her fantasies of being a spy. Villanelle is a talented killer, who clings to the luxuries her violent job affords her. These two fierce women, equally obsessed with each other, will go head to head in an epic game of cat and mouse, toppling the typical spy-action thriller”.
If you’ve not watched Killing Eve yet, the coming weekend is the perfect opportunity to binge-watch the show before it’s gone from Prime Video India!
