![]() ![]() I think what’s gonna be interesting for the audience is, I don’t know that she’s going to react in the way they’re expecting. What’s going on in her head in that moment? Does this change how she sees her relationship with Eve? She is very much helpless, and it’s interesting to have seen how she tries to navigate the world around her when she’s in this situation. ![]() She always thinks she’s one step ahead of the game, but now she can’t physically do what she needs to do. What was playing that side of the character like? ![]() The show picks up right after Villanelle gets stabbed by Eve, and this is really the first time we see her on her back foot a little bit. You have to just focus on what you’re doing now. But, ultimately, when you get to set you have to focus on the material and the work, and you can’t think about the bigger picture. No, you know what I think it is? I think when something is so well-received, of course you then have that sense of, ‘Well, we can’t f- it up now.’ It’s like, you want to reach the same level of celebration. Season 1 turned out to be such a massive hit, did you feel any added pressure going into Season 2? It’s been really collaborative, which is so lucky, because you don’t always get that luxury of having an opinion. She’s really captured the voice of the show. I feel Season 2 really continues that wit and the dark undercurrent, the seriousness of what’s going on. And she’s a close friend of Phoebe’s, actually. Emerald is a fantastic writer in her own right. Obviously change is always daunting, you know. Has that changed the show at all for you?Ĭomer: It’s been great. TheWrap: “Killing Eve” has a new writer for Season 2, Emerald Fennell. Read TheWrap’s full interview with Comer below. “How that will work is a separate conversation.” ![]() So you definitely do see them around each other a lot more than in 1,” Comer promised. “They ultimately will have to come back together, given the way their lives have collided together. “Deep down somewhere, it’s like, What if Eve actually forgets about me?” Comer said.Īlso Read: 'Killing Eve' Season 2 to Be Simulcast on AMCīut Eve and Villanelle will continue to circle each other in their game of spy-versus-spy, a new slow-motion collision course reminiscent of Season 1, but with the simple prospect of violence replaced by bloody memory of their last encounter. A rival both professionally and for Eve’s attention who will shake the previously unflappable Villanelle’s confidence for the first time. Season 2 will also introduce a new rival for Villanelle in the form of a second female killer. “In that warped sense of reality, she knows what she feels toward this person, but I don’t think she can comprehend her emotions at all … but I very much feel that she thinks she knows what love is.” “In her world, she thinks they could just live together and watch movies or something,” the actress said. The candy-coated assassin, who delights in nice things and fancy clothes but will spin around to stab a man in the eye without a second thought, is left trying to process a complicated mix of feelings toward Eve without the right mental or emotional facilities for the job, Comer says. “That physical action is so enormous to her, and probably means something to Villanelle that it wouldn’t to anyone else in their right mind.” “I think what’s gonna be interesting for the audience is, I don’t know that is going to react in the way they’re expecting,” Comer said in an interview with TheWrap. Picking up just seconds after the Season 1 cliffhanger, with Eve still reeling from having committed an act of violence as garish as stabbing her target in the gut and Villanelle wandering the streets nursing a life-threatening wound, the new season explores the ramifications of the way these two women have now become bound together for good. Season 2, premiering Sunday with a new head writer, “Call the Midwife” star and longtime friend of Waller-Bridge, Emerald Fennell, will introduce an interesting new wrinkle to that dynamic.Īlso Read: 'Killing Eve' Season 2: Villanelle and Eve Go Crazy for Each Other in New Trailer (Video) In playing the psychopathic assassin being hunted by Eve and enjoying the chase, Comer at turns rises to match Oh’s trademark intensity and manages to undercut it entirely with a single facial expression or a killer Waller-Bridge one-liner. But a cat is nothing without her mouse, and Comer’s Villanelle is one heck of a mouse. Oh has earned widespread acclaim for her work as MI5 agent Eve Polastri, bagging an Emmy nomination last fall and a slew of other trophies in the months since. When the cat-and-mouse spy thriller “Killing Eve” first debuted on BBC America last year, it became the year’s first true word-of-mouth hit, thanks to razor-sharp writing from “Fleabag” creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge and riveting lead performances from Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer. ![]()
