Killing Eve season 4 begins shoot

The makers of the series dropped a short teaser on the official Instagram page of Killing Eve and announced that the show had begun filming for season four.  Audiences are offered a small glimpse of the behind-the-scenes process in the teaser. The short clip also features a clapboard with a date written, followed by lead actor Jodie Comer herself in front of the camera shooting a scene. As the makers shared the clip they wrote, "Our lips are sealed. Mostly."

The spy thriller series is based on the Villanelle novel series written by Luke Jennings. The show stars Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer in the lead roles. The story chronicles a British intelligence service agent named Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh), who takes on the task of catching the psychopathic assassin named Villanelle (Comer). Throughout the first three seasons, the pair constantly find themselves in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase that takes place all across Europe, during which they form a mutual but dangerous obsession with each other. The series is led by a different female head writer every season. The first series had Phoebe Waller-Bridge as the head writer, the second series Emerald Fennell, the third series Suzanne Heathcote and the fourth and final series Laura Neal.

The series has received critical acclaim for all three seasons of the series, particularly for its writing and the lead actresses' performances. The lead actors have won several accolades including a Golden Globe award for Best Actress for Sandra Oh and a Primetime Emmy Award for Best Actress for Jodie Comer. The series has also won the British Academy Television Award for Best Drama Series.
