'Killing Eve' could go "on, and on, and on".
Jodie Comer
The producers of the hit BBC crime drama, Sally Woodward Gentle and Lee Morris, have suggested that the show - which stars Jodie Comer as killer Villanelle and Sandra Oh as titular MI5 detective Eve Polastri - has the potential to become a long-standing fixture on the small screen, for as long as it can be given a "refresh".
According to the Daily Star newspaper, Sally said: "If you made it up in the first place, you can make it up again.
"So I think it can go on, and on, and on - you just have to refresh it all the time."
Jodie - who previously starred in shows like 'My Mad Fat Diary' and 'Doctor Foster' - admitted portraying Villanelle has allowed her to show off her "versatility" as an actress and enabled her to "learn more" about herself.
Speaking about the "overwhelming" reaction to the first series, she said: "What I love about Villanelle is that she is many characters within one, and she has enabled me to hopefully show some versatility that people may not have expected from me.
"There has been such an overwhelming response to 'Killing Eve' that when I meet people, they are enthusiastic about talking about it and they enjoy it so much. It's been wonderful to have all sorts of conversations.
"Going to the set is so fulfilling because not every day is the same. There is always something thrown my way to challenge me. So I think I have really been able to grow and learn more about myself."
'Killing Eve' - which is based on Luke Jennings's tome 'Codename Villanelle' - is set to return to screens on April 7, following the gripping cliffhanger, which saw Eve stab Villanelle after she pretended to have fallen in love with her just to get her into bed, and left viewers on the edge of their seats and with plenty of unanswered questions.
Jodie previously hinted that viewers will find out more about her mysterious character in the second season.
She teased: "People's questions about Villanelle are always: does she have emotions; does she have morals?
"You know, we have these glimpses of her maybe feeling something, but what is it? What is it that we don't know?
"That's definitely something that we've explored in series two, whether she is battling with her conscience - what's under there?"
