Update: June 3 — Bell Media has announced that Killing Eve will premiere on Bravo in Canada on Sunday, July 22, at 9 p.m. ET.
(Previous Update): April 13 — Bell Media announced this morning that Killing Eve will air exclusively on Bravo in Canada. No premiere date has been set yet, but it is expected to air this summer on the Canadian specialty network. The series will stream on CraveTV following its 8-episode first season run on Bravo.
Canadians hoping to catch buzz-worthy new series Killing Eve may just have to settle on the premiere episode as no Canadian broadcaster has been named ahead of the show’s U.S. debut on BBC America this Sunday, April 8.
Adapted for television by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag) and based on the novellas by Luke Jennings, Killing Eve stars Canadian actress Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy) as Eve Polastri, a board MI5 security officer who yearns for a more exciting life way from her desk. When a Russian politician is murdered, Eve is tasked with protecting the only witness and soon finds herself on a collision course with a violent and extraordinary assassin, Villanelle (played by Doctor Foster’s Jodie Comer).
Shot on location throughout Paris, Tuscany, Berlin, Cheshunt and London, Killing Eve has already been renewed for a second season. The series also stars Fiona Shaw (Harry Potter), Kirby Howell-Baptiste (Downward Dog), Kim Bosnia (The Bridge), David Haig (Penny Dreadful), Darren Boyd (Stan Lee’s Lucky Man), Sean Delaney (Midsomer Murders) and Owen McDonnell (Paula).
Check out the first episode of Killing Eve below.
Disappointed to learn that “Killing Eve” will not be carried by any providers in Canada. Loved the 1st episode. Writing, acting, and plot are all excellent.
Similar situations with Howards End and The Last OG. Any sign of them getting picked up? And what happened to Younger?
Shame about Howards End and Last OG. Bell Media has yet to reveal their plans for Younger.
Desperate to watch Killing Eve after seeing the pilot online. Why aren’t any of the Canadian channels buying the rights this series???? It’s brilliant. And Sandra Oh is, as usual, magnificent. I bet that are hordes of Sandra Oh fans here in Canda gagging to see this show. Come on, CTV or Global, snap this show up! You’ll be guaranteed a hug audience!
Um is it gone? The article says watch below, but it’s a big blank. I saw the video there yesterday.
Should be working, please refresh.
