Killing Eve series three left viewers ‘in tears’ following the emotional finale that saw Eve (Sandra Oh) and Villanelle decide to ‘walk away’ from each other.
The ‘will-they-won’t-they’ storyline that dominated the plot appeared to come to an end when Villanelle and Eve stood back-to-back on London Bridge and agreed to walk away and ‘never look back’.
However in the final moments of the episode both Villanelle and Eve turned back around to look at each other – suggesting the two characters might end up together.
The promise of a future relationship delighted fans, who begged for the next series to start with the two characters together.

The episode also tied up loose ends of the series, including revealing Konstantin as Kenny’s apparent killer. Security footage showed Konstantin (Kim Bodnia) arriving at the office and meeting with Kenny (Sean Delaney) hours before his death.
Armed with the footage, Carolyn confronted Konstantin, with Paul (Steve Pemberton), Eve and Villanelle also in attendance.
She came close to killing Konstantin but instead killed Paul, who was working for both MI6 and The Twelve.
Konstantin, who had planned to leave to Cuba, left but Villanelle decided not to follow.

‘As long as there is truth in what you are saying, acting can be big and it can be bold and it can be in your face and it can be a bit ugly and it can be all of these different things like not everything has to be super subtle.
‘I don’t know another word that I can think of, but you know what I mean? I guess just to be a little bit more daring, you know. There’s no need to feel silly about what it is that you may want to do. I’ve just had so much fun.
‘I’ve been in such strange you know, funny situations and met some amazing, amazing people so yeah, I think that’s what I’ll miss the most.’
It was revealed in March that Killing Eve’s fourth and final season will air on television next year.
