'Killing Eve' season 2: Will the focus finally shift to Eve Polastri's dark past from the spotlight on mysterious Villanelle?

Actress Sandra Oh, who plays Eve, has mentioned several times in the past how everything is going to get much darker for the character, especially in the upcoming season

BBC America's highly acclaimed suspense thriller 'Killing Eve' is all set to return for round two, and the extremely thrilling joyride of a trailer for the second season which dropped just around a week ago has raised some serious questions. The most important of all being whether Sandra Oh's character Eve Polastri will get a more heightened focus than the antagonist Villanelle, played by Jodie Comer.

To say that there wasn't enough build up or development to Eve's character in the first season would be wrong. She went from a regular MI6 agent obsessed with female killers to being exclusively obsessed with Codename: Villanelle.
