In fact, Jennings described the meeting to the Guardian back in August, remembering how Bridges exclaimed, ' Oh god I looooooved it. When Jennings first met Bridges, who also penned revered comedy Fleabag, they immediately hit it off. So, why are the book and TV show so different? Well, that's all down to script writer Phoebe Waller Bridges. Unlike the TV show, in Codename Villanelle, Villanelle is yet to send a suitcase of clothes Eve's way, and the novel ends in a way that seems to set up the relationship between Eve and Villanelle (maybe like the one's that been shown on TV). In fact, at the end of Codename Villanelle (which was first published as a novella titled Odessa), Villanelle (Jodie Comer) tries to free her mentor from a fortified mansion in the Ukraine, and, spoiler alert, Konstantin (Kim Bodnia) dies pretty early on and gruesomely in the book too. Well, the book certainly doesn't take the same path as the TV show, that's for sure. With that in mind, how does Killing Eve the book end? But said cliffhanger will probably have been a tad confusing for those that have read Codename Villanelle by Luke Jennings (aka the book on which the show is based) because the two are so different. In case you haven't seen it, the first series ends on a major cliff-hanger (no spoilers yet, don't worry). The BBC America drama starring Sandra Oh was brought over the UK after taking the States by storm. If all you can think about lately is Killing Eve, you are not alone.
