Killing Eve star Sandra Oh has revealed how the show 🀅was originally going to end, and shared her co-star Jodie Comer's reaction to the divisive fina❀le that was aired instead. 

*As you could have probably guessed, there are big spoilers below, so if you've not watched the last episode yet, click away now.*

The comedy thriller split opinion 🔯with the conclusion of its f🅠ourth and final season, which saw Villanelle get killed by a sniper after she and Eve finally gave in to their feelings for one another, and successfully took out the Twelve. Many fan༒s criticized the abrupt ending, voicing disappointment that it was Fiona Shaw's Carolyn wh❀o ordered the hit, and suggesting that it played into the harmful 'bury your gays' trope. 

Several took to social medi🐬a to claim that it should have ended differently, with the two women getting relatively happy endings – like the𝕴y do in Luke Jennings' novels. According to Oh, though, it was never on the cards for both characters to make it out alive.  

"I was like, 'You should kill my character.' I thought that would be the strongest and the most interesting ending, and I felt, emotionally, it was the right place of where I was at," the actor told recently, recalling her early meetings with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:season 4 head writer Laura Neal. "Eve was starting to get into, like, a nihilistic place, andꦇ we're like, 'Let's just continue that line and go straight int🦩o it.'"

When the COV𝔍ID-19 pandemic caused production to shut down, however, Neal had time𒅌 to mull over those final moments, and apparently decided that it would make more sense for the assassin to die rather than the former MI6 agent.

"They came to me, and they said, 'We can't do it. We need to change it… Eve needs to live,'🙈" Oh remembered. "Eve 🍸is the way into this world. She's our everywoman. So it’s kind of really super depressing if she dies. So we switched it around."

Oh added that Comer "was very much on board" with 🌠the decision when she was pitched it.

Since the episode aired, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:🗹book author Jennings has slammed the e🀅nding for "bowing to conven🤪tion" and "punishing" Villanelle and Eve "for the bloody, erotically impelled chaos they have caused." He also argued that it would have been "much more darkly satisfying, and true to Killing Eve's original spirit" had the pair "walked off into the sunset together."

Killing Eve is currently available to watch on BBC iPlayer in the UK, while the first three seasons can be streamed on Hulu and BBC America in the US.
