Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer plays the lead roles in Killing Eve; Credits: Deadline

Sandra Oh happens to be one of the most intriguing actresses in Hollywood. With her unique acting style, and an array of some of the best films and series to her credit, the actress has managed to create the best for her. 

Recently, she has been seen working on the series Killing Eve by BBC America original where she portrays the character of a service officer named Eve. She is joined on the sets of the show by Jodie Comer, who plays Villanelle, a very fashion-conscious assassin, attempting to kill Eve, though not much successful despite having the chance to kill her off many times. 

Sandra Oh sat down with Collider to talk about her latest season of the series, where she explains what it is like to work with Comer and vice versa as Comer talks about Sanda Oh. The series includes everything from officer Eve's revenge to certain dark turns and redemption arcs. 

Killing Eve is a phenomenal work that astonishingly does not believe in happy endings for the characters on the show. Yet, there is something oddly satisfying in seeing them where they go. 

The characters, though deserve to achieve different and better things in life, reach a point where things are just "right." Therefore, whatever they get is supposed to happen that way. So even if their ending is not happy, the characters are meant to carry on with their complex arcs and remain still wishing for better. 

Comer shared that the actors on the show were previously mostly concerned with carrying out what is expected of them in the series by the creators. Of course, now that everyone is so "invested" in the series, it is important to see whether they are feeling happy with how things are turning out or not.

The actress shared that she hopes people are enjoying the show and can find it in themselves to understand why things are just right for wherever they have reached for the characters. 

Needless to say, the cast itself did not know where the series was headed towards when they first began shooting the latest season. They were given vague details to help carry on with their portrayals, but most of it was kept under covers for laters.

Yet, both the series and the characters developed and evolved as they continued on with the series and the ending shifted to accommodate the changes. However, the actors were allowed only to read the next episode they would shoot after the one they were filming and no more. 

The dynamics ensured that the story stayed true to the characters as the creators hurried on to discuss everything right through the shooting of Killing Eve. So, the series developed alongside the shoots, and the actors had to accept whatever fate befell their roles. 

Interestingly enough, the series has employed the genius of four different women writers throughout the four seasons. The women helped define the majorly female narrative of Oh and Comer in the storyline. The fourth season was handed over to Laura Neal. 

Giving women writers the lead for the season made the arcs of Eve and Villanelle authentic to touch. The four different writers brought in distinct elements into the story and their own set "voice" as they worked on the writeups. 

Comer shared that working with them was a fun and learning experience as they impressed on the characters their own individual traits. The writers helped shape the characters and paved the way for them to move on forwards.

Having Laura on the sets made Comer feel a freshness, while her time with Helene was one of the best that she spent on the series.

The executive producer on the show, Sandra Oh, also loved having different women helm the story, yet it was challenging for the voice of the series to be changed so often. But being an expert in her field, she revealed that the challenge allowed to shift the dynamics on the set and helped novel creativity flow. 

Experimenting with different voices allowed the actors to work around with their creativity and find different dynamics to their onscreen relationships and characters. In fact, Sandra also relayed that the shift also helped reveal what a character is truly like. 

So, while the cast and some of the crew members worked on the series from the beginning of the show, much of it was shuffled over and over again to help maintain the freshness and novelty of the show. 

The varied narrative also managed to draw out the inner conflicts of Villanelle and show that she is not as invincible as she thinks. She struggles with her self-worth as her mother continues to demean her and she feels like a monster to the core. 

She can only wish to live a normal life and finally finds solace as she meets her redemption in church. She might be a long way from becoming an honest person, yet there is more to her than meets the eye. Villanelle still needs to understand who she truly is so that she can confront her being instead of trying to escape it. 

Killing Eve premiered on February 27 on BBC America and can also be streamed AMC+.
