'Killing Eve' Season 4 Release Date. Cast, Trailer, Plot — All We Know So Far

There is bittersweet news for fans of award-winning crime-thriller, Killing Eve. Season 4 is on the way, but sadly, it will be the last installment in the cat-and-mouse struggle of Eve Polastri and Villanelle.

Thankfully, after nearly two years of waiting, BBC America has teased some details about the upcoming season, including releasing some first-look images and judging by the photos, it looks like Villanelle and Eve may actually be on the same page, for once but then again, this is Killing Eve and everything could turn on its head in a split second.

Newsweek has everything you need to know about Killing Eve Season 4, including the release date, cast, trailer, plot, and more.

When is Killing Eve Season 4 Out?

There isn't too much too long to wait for Season 4 of Killing Eve to arrive on screens.

The first episode will premiere on Sunday, February 27 on BBC America, and on Monday, February 28 on AMC.

AMC+ subscribers will be able to catch the first episode a week earlier than the rest of the world, from Sunday, February 20. You can subscribe to AMC+ for $8.99 now.

Unfortunately at the moment, the U.K. does not yet have a release date for Killing Eve Season 4, but following the release pattern from previous years, Killing Eve will be available via the BBC iPlayer shortly after the U.S. premiere.

What Will Happen in Killing Eve Season 4?

Season 4 of Killing Eve is set to build on the dramatic cliffhanger of Season 3, which saw Eve (played by Sandra Oh) and Villanelle (Jodie Comer) come face to face on London's Tower Bridge.

Eve finally admitted her true feelings for the assassin, admitting: "When I try and think of my future I just see your face over and over again". However, she also asked for Villanelle to "help me make it stop", suggesting Eve was finally done with Villanelle once and for all.

Accepting Eve's confession, Villanelle turned her back on Eve and headed in the direction she came from. Eve also did the same and for what felt like a lifetime for audiences, the pair finally turned around and looked back at each other, smiling, before the screen faded to black.

Per the official synopsis, in Season 4, Eve is on a "revenge mission" following the attack on her husband Niko (Owen McDonnell) whilst Season 4 will see Villanelle try to prove she is not a "monster."

Elsewhere, having killed Paul (Steve Pemberton), Carolyn (Fiona Shaw) is still determined to take down The Twelve and find the person, or people, that was behind her son's murder.

As for everybody's favorite handler, Konstantin (Kim Bodnia) discharged himself from the hospital in the finale after suffering a heart attack. He almost was shot by Caroline after he confessed he had visited Kenny (Sean Delaney) the night he died but was not responsible for his death.

He said Kenny had become close to exposing The Twelve and went to warn him of his impending death if he did not join them. Kenny was scared and ended up falling off of the side of the building and sadly, it was too late for Konstantin to help him.

The synopsis teases: "This season follows our extraordinary women, each driven by passion, revenge, and obsession, building towards a messy, nuanced, and glorious series finale."

As per Killing Eve tradition, Season 4 features a brand new writer. Sex Education's and Secret Diary of a Call Girl's Laura Neal follows in the footsteps of Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Emerald Fennell, and Suzanne Heathcote, also serving as an executive producer on the final series.

Fortunately, BBC America and AMC have decided to release some first-look images of the new series to keep fans in suspense. Take a look below.
