While appearing on the BBC's The One Show recently, Sandra opened up about her final sequences with Jodie. "I think I can say both for Jodie and I... It was very, very emotional - it was not easy, but it was emotional," she said. 

When asked about the relationship between the two characters in the fourth and final outing of the spy thriller, the Grey's Anatomy star explained: "I'm not going to describe [their relationship] too much because I think what is really, really special about the show is that everyone brings their own interpretation to it and I want to keep it as wide as possible."

"But I will say at the beginning of season four, Eve is in a very, very different place, and actually so is Villanelle. They find themselves in very different places."

After suggesting that Eve would benefit from a makeover, the 50-year-old went on to tease what fans can expect from her and Villanelle's cat and mouse relationship in the upcoming season. "I really, really wanted to change Eve up, particularly for this finale," she said. "There is absolutely that push and pull that they always have.

"But because it is the finale, you'll see them in circumstances that I think you've always hoped to see them in," she added. 

Back in the summer of 2021, Jodie also gave an insight into the upcoming season while filming for the show. "We have definitely got off to an exciting start," she told NBC. "I think now, because we know it's the final season they are definitely pushing boundaries, especially with Villanelle.

"Where we open with her [Villanelle] is totally bonkers and brilliant. I hope people finally enjoy it when it hits the screen," she added. 

Killing Eve season four will premiere on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on February 28.
