The wait is almost over: the trailer for season two of Killing Eve has been released ahead of its premiere on April 7, and it’s thrilling.
Set to the soundtrack of a cover of Robert Palmer’s ‘Addicted to Love’ by Skylar Grey, it opens with Sandra Oh as MI5 officer Eve Polastri sitting on a train station bench, eating… blue popcorn? I honestly have no idea. But she looks incredibly nervous.
We then see Eve on the phone to an unidentified person, saying “I found Villanelle… I think I might have killed her.”
She says this in front of a couple who’ve just gotten engaged, so she wishes them congratulations before disappearing.
We then see Villanelle in hospital following last season’s finale where Eve stabbed her. Soon after that, we see her rummaging through some random guy’s drawers for a knife. When asked why she’s looking for a knife, she calmly responds: “To stab you with.”
At one point, this appears in the trailer, and I have literally no idea what it means, so if you have a theory, I’m all ears.
It reminds me of that scene from The Shining with the guy in the bear mask, but I don’t think that’s deliberate, my mind is just a weird place.
Killing Eve, a show developed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge for BBC America, took the world by storm when it came out last year. It has won several awards, including a Television Critics Association Award, a Critics Choice Television Award, a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild award – the last two of those were specifically awarded to Sandra Oh for her outstanding performance as Eve.
The second season premieres on Sunday April 7 on BBC America, and will hopefully air on the ABC shortly after.
