No one talk to me. Killing Eve won’t come out until next summer, and it’s the final season. I am very emotional.

While fans may mourn the series’ close, the President of Original Programming for AMC Networks, Dan McDermott, has alluded to possible spinoffs set in the Killing Eve universe.
“We could not be more thankful for the extraordinary talents and efforts of everyone involved, particularly Sandra and Jodie, who made Killing Eve much more than a television show,” McDermott said. “We look forward to what is sure to be an unforgettable final season and to exploring potential extensions of this compelling universe.”
