Trivia about Killing Eve

The production considered more than a hundred actresses before choosing Jodie Comer, one month after Sandra Oh.

The series broke records for weekly audience growth and won several awards, including the British Academy Television Award for Best Drama Series.

The band Unloved, together with Jade Vincent, Keefus Ciancia and David Holmes, composed the show's music.

The interior of Villanelle's Barcelona apartment was filmed at Casa Ramos, a modernist building on Plaça de Lesseps designed in 1906 by Jaume Torres i Grau.

BBC America renewed the series for a third season less than twelve hours after the second season premiered.

For the final audition, Sandra Oh brought a blueberry tart to help Jodie Comer feel comfortable; Comer memorized nine pages of dialogue written specifically for the test in just two days.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge considered playing Eve or Villanelle, but ruled out both options because she felt she was not the right age for either role.

The fourth season finale drew criticism for using the Bury Your Gays trope, as a main queer character dies shortly after finding happiness.
