This season of KillingEve has done away with two series regulars in just four episodes
Halfway into its third season and four episodes removed from its deadly premiere, the BBC America drama starring Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer has claimed its next high-profile victim: Niko Polastri, Eve's estranged husband, played by Owen McDonnell.
The latest answer to that question: Niko's death, which arrives in the climactic moments of "Still Got It," the season three halfway point. Experimental in its relationship with time and structure, "Still Got It" sees Niko living in Poland, far away from London and Eve, returning to a simpler life delivering loaves of bread to his neighbors and fixing up local projects.
"It continues her motivation, but moving toward a more nihilistic way," teases Oh. "While it was very hard to do, and there are consequences after that, it really does continue pushing Eve's character and storyline into very different places." "Niko was a man on borrowed time," adds executive producer Sally Woodward Gentle. "The amount of times he could have been killed by Villanelle...it's quite a lot. But it's quite tragic. He was somebody who held Eve to account. At the same time, that's complicated by his own romantic feelings toward her. He can't be as objective toward her as Kenny has been in the past.
How will Eve view Niko's departure? Will she immediately assume Villanelle was the one responsible for her husband's death? If so, watch out, as Woodward Gentle teases: "Eve probably thinks she and Villanelle are at a place where if Villanelle killed Niko, it would be the end of them. She would wreak horrible revenge on her." For her part, Oh is only willing to offer that season three will continue drilling down into the pain felt not just by Eve, but Villanelle as well.leads.
