MUMBAI: With a chase that transverses borders, ‘Killing Eve’ is the story of two women – Eve and Villanelle – who are bound by a mutual obsession that is as fascinating as it is psychotic. The series follows the classic good-cop-chases-villain template but leaves behind the typecast of a spy-thriller by placing two strong women in primary roles. Featuring Sandra Oh and Jodie Cormer as the leads, other cast members include Fiona Shaw, David Haig, Kim Bodnia, Darren Boyd and Sean Delaney. Killing Eve has received worldwide acclaim and has won several accolades including the prestigious Golden Globe, BAFTA and Emmy Awards.
Based on the novella series Codename Villanelle, Killing Eve is the story of Eve Polastri - an MI6 operative, tasked with capturing psychopathic assassin Villanelle; caught in a cat-and-mouse chase the two develop a mutual obsession with each other as the pursuit progresses.
