Killing Eve season 2: Dramatic new trailer sees Eve Polastri’s hunt for Villanelle intensify
KILLING Eve's explosive new trailer sees the action ramped up between Eve Polastri and Villanelle.
The BBC's recently released clip shows the rogue MI5 agent and her nemesis continue their story exactly 36 seconds after the events of the first series' finale.
The clip begins with Villanell e- played by Jodie Comer- lying in a hospital bed as she says: "Sometimes when you love someone you will do crazy things."
She then appears to escape from the ward by putting on a white doctor's coat and white Crocs.
But it seems the villain hasn't quite recovered from her stab wounds that were inflicted by Eve -played by Sandra Oh- at the end of last series, and Eve is sent on a mission to find her by her corrupt boss, Carolyn Martens.
"If Vilanelle is alive, you need to find her," says Carolyn, before the scene cuts to a police raid and a shot of Eve leaving her boss's house with a smile on her face.
Clearly hot on Villanelle's tail yet again, Carolyn jokes: "Stop it Eve, I can feel your excitement!"
The trailer then flickers between shots of the assassin and the MI5 agent.
Ex-hacker Kenny Stowton is seen asking Eve "what is it between you and Villanelle?", before it ends with the BBC villain echoing the comment she made at the start of the trailer.
Teasing the show's return at the end of last year, chief writer and executive producer Emerald Fennell told : "Eve has done something which may have changed her for ever, that will have repercussions with every relationship in her life."
New additions to the cast nclude Nina Sosanya and Edward Bluemel in regular roles alongside guest stars Julian Barratt, Henry Lloyd-Hughes and Shannon Tarbet.
The series is based on the Codename Villanelle novellas by Luke Jennings and is executive produced by Sally Woodward Gentle, Lee Morris, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Gina Mingacci, Emerald Fennell.
The hit BBC show premieres on April 7 at 8pm for American viewers; a UK date is yet to be confirmed.
