Just last week, it was revealed that the BBC were setting in motion a brand-new Cold War spy drama, Honey, ready to continue the company's trend of producing some of the very best in modern spy thrillers. However, something that failed to be mentioned in the initial announcement was, according to Deadline, the news that Honey will be a prequel to Killing Eve,Phoebe Waller-Bridge's masterful adaptation of the Villanelle series of novels by Luke Jennings, starring both Sandra Oh andJodie Comer.

Although rumors of the prequel have been quietly circulating for some time, this announcement has shocked many in the fanbase who had felt the Killing Eve franchise had fired its last bullet. Well, said fanbase can now rejoice, especially considering the prequel will follow the beloved character of Carolyn Martens, the head of the Russia Section at MI6, played with acclaimed poise by Harry Potter's Fiona Shaw.
