Killing Eve's viewership kept growing for seven straight weeks

Deadline

BBC America says a scripted TV series hasn't had this kind of weekly growth in more than a decade. The penultimate Season 1 episode of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's spy series starring Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer attracted nearly 1 million viewers. “This show has exceeded our expectations in every possible way, and we came into it with very high expectations,” says BBC America president Sarah Barnett, adding: "On every level, this has been one of the ones you dream about when you get into this business and, luckily for us, the dream continues into this Sunday’s finale and a second season that is already in the works.”
