Killing Eve cast reminisces about the show’s ‘beautiful’ shooting locales

BBC America’s twisted spy drama ‘Killing Eve’ is set to close the curtains as the show concludes its four-season run with the finale airing at 8 pm on April 10. As the cast bid goodbye to the show, they reminisced about the spy drama’s exotic shooting locations including Paris, Barcelona, Bucharest, Amsterdam, Berlin and Netherlands.

Actor Sandra Oh, who essays the role of MI5 agent Eve Polastri on the show, was thrilled to shoot in the British suburb of New Malden.

“I honestly had no idea that the largest Korean population in Europe is in New Malden. It was very exciting for me to be closer to Korean food,” the 50-year-old said in an interview with BBC Media Centre in 2020. 

The ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ star also spoke about the Viscri, a village in Romania.

“It’s a UNESCO [World] Heritage Site which Prince Charles helped set up, and they actually have a residence there. I would walk to set down the street and go through Prince Charles’ house because our production office was there,” she added.

Actor Jodi Comer, who plays the character of Villanelle on the show, sang the praises of Bucharest and Barcelona in an interview with BBC Media Centre.

“We were four hours outside of Bucharest in the mountains,” she said.

“We were expecting snow, and it was scorching heat. To film in places that you would never usually have the opportunity to film in is incredible. Barcelona was also beautiful,” Comer added.

Actor Kim Bodnia, who plays Konstantin on the show, recently revealed that the production process came to a hiatus due to pandemic-related travel measures and restrictions. 

“I’ll tell you what, you have so many beautiful places, and places I have never known existed here in the UK,” he told Metro.

“It was surprising, also, for many of the workers have not traveled so much inside [the] UK,” Kim added.
