Before Sandra Oh said yes to play Eve Polastri on BBC America’s Killing Eve, another major star was offered the role.
The series, which concluded after four seasons earlier this year, centered on Eve, who was bored of what her spy life had become, before being tasked to hunt down Villanelle, a very talented killer, mercurial in mood, who clings to the luxuries of her job.

Killing Eve wrapped up its four season run on BBC America last night, with a shocking finale.
Following the series end, executive producer Sally Woodward Gentle opened up about if the story would continue in with a spinoff at all, as there had been rumors of a Carolyn-centered one.
The two actresses appear on the new cover of Parade magazine, where they recalled meeting for the first time in 2017 and bringing the show to its conclusion.
The hit BBC America series will drop next month on the network with eight all-new episodes.
Here’s a summary of what fans can expect: After the emotional climax of season three, Eve (Oh), Villanelle (Comer) and Carolyn (Fiona Shaw) are in very different places. Following Eve and Villanelle’s exchange on the bridge, Eve is on a revenge mission, while Villanelle has found a brand-new community in an attempt to prove she’s not a “monster.”
After killing Paul, Carolyn goes to extraordinary lengths to continue to chase down The Twelve and the person that ordered Kenny’s hit.
Killing Eve will debut on Sunday, February 27 at 8:00pm ET/PT on BBC AMERICA and AMC+.
Following the premiere, AMC+ subscribers will be able to view episodes one week in advance of linear viewers, with the exception of the series finale, which will air concurrently.
