Killing Eve writer reveals fate of Villanelle’s wife after vicious wedding brawl in season 3 premiere – The Sun
KILLING Eve's writer has revealed the fate of Villanelle's wife after vicious wedding brawl in season 3 premiere.
The latest series of the BBC drama has left pretty much every fan with a list of questions that need answering – including the whereabouts of the assassin's other half and how Niko (Owen McDonnell) managed to survive a pitch fork to the neck.
If you cast your mind back to the first episode of series 3, Villanelle (Jodie Comer) had finally moved on from her crazy obsession with Eve (Sanda Oh) and was about to tie the knot with her fiance Maria (Carmen Montero).
She soon changed her mind when a blast from the past turned up late to the celebration and Maria was never seen again.
Head writer Suzanne Heathcote lifted the lid on what she's been up to during an interview with Gold Derby and hinted that despite only being in the first episode for a short amount of time, she may be back in the future.
She said: "Her wife Maria, I think we just have to say that she is heartbroken somewhere and who knows, maybe she will return again.
"That's out of my hands but I would say she's probably alone somewhere eating wedding cake."
Suzanne also went on to say why they decided to make Niko survive a pitchfork to the throat from Dascha (Dame Harriet Walter).
She explained: “It was one of those shocking moments that is the tenor of the show and so with that, to have him survive it, there was something darkly funny in that we felt nothing could quite kill him.”
Dascha stabbed Niko, Eve's wife, in the throat with a fork, in the hope that Eve would think it was Villanelle acting in a jealous manner.
Later on in the series, Eve found out who it really was and the act of trying to hurt Niko actually brought Eve and Villanelle closer together.
Suzanne added: “It did result in something larger because Eve commits a huge act of violence against Dascha.
"She and Villanelle kill Dascha combined and what she did to Niko is the reason.”
Despite all of the nail-biting drama that occurred in season 3, fans were left in tears over the ‘complete mess and let-down’ of the final episode.
The series went with the 'Will they, won't they?' narrative for Eve and Villanelle once again and Kenny's shock death in the season premiere became nothing more than a side-show.
The season-three finale titled 'Are You Leading or Am I?' did solve the mystery surrounding Kenny's death, it still largely focused on Villanelle's endeavors to quit being an assassin and how that could affect her relationship with Eve.
And when all's said and done, the strange ending to the finale does promise a different direction for the already-confirmed season four.
Unlike the season 1 and 2 finales which ended with them stabbing and shooting one another respectively, the season 3 finale ended on a more solemn and less violent note.
Eve and Villanelle ended the series by standing back to back on London Bridge and attempting to follow Villanelle's suggestion to walk away from each other for good without looking back.
However, it proved to be too much for Eve as she stopped and turned to look back at Villanelle, who sported a wry smile.
Fans took to voice their opinions about the underwhelming ending, as one fan said: "Still can’t talk about #KillingEve S3 finale cos it just got me soooo broken in almost all ways possible why does it have to end that way??"
Another fan commented: "the killing eve finale was soooo underwhelming just like the rest of the season it was a complete mess and absolutely nothing happened :/"
