If it has been killing you to know when the final season of Killing Eve will premiere and what it might look like, you're in luck, little sheep. Here, EW presents the first images of the very last season of BBC America's beguiling spy thriller, which features the final co-dependent dance of in-way-too-deep intelligence agent Eve (Sandra Oh) and alluring, psychopathic assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer). As you will learn, Eve has embarked on a revenge mission, while Villanelle is finding new community in Christ as she seeks to shed her label as a monster and prove that she can change. And having killed traitorous Paul (Steve Pemberton), world-saving MI6 boss Carolyn (Fiona Shaw) wants to get to the bottom (or is the top?) of The Twelve and find out who marked her son, Kenny (Sean Delaney), for death. We should also mention that Twelve higher-up Hélène is not happy that her pet assassin, Rhian (Alexandra Roach), was dispatched by Villanelle. (The whereabouts of Kim Bodnia's Konstantin are being kept under wraps, at least for the moment.)

"Eve and Villanelle, having left each other in total turmoil on Tower Bridge at the end of season 3, are thrown into season 4 trying to figure out what they mean to each other and what their lives now stand for," executive producer Sally Woodward Gentle tells EW. "And while Carolyn has shot a man in cold blood, she is trying to find out who is responsible for the hit on her son. This one is going to be a lot more personal and passionate than the seasons before."

Woodward Gentle offers up more hints about what's to come alongside each photo. And now let's get to that last bit of intel, about when everything is to come. Season 4 premieres with back-to-back episodes starting at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Feb. 27 on BBC America. (You can get watch the premiere one week early, Feb. 20 on AMC+, or one day late, Feb. 28 on AMC.)

"In season 4, Eve takes on a very different role — one that could be both dangerous to herself and people around her."

Fishing for clues

"Eve is adrift in season 4, but arguably more focused than ever."

In her own lane

"Carolyn finds herself increasingly isolated, but she'll never loosen her grip on her ability to manipulate."

Give 'em Hélène

"The glorious Camille Cottin had to return in season 4 to cause even more trouble."
