Luke then spoke out about Villanelle's captivating personality, "I always wanted to see how far I could push it, and how appalling I could make the character and have people still root for her. Phoebe also dropped hints that she could be set to appear in the third season, telling the Mirror, "I was like, I am going to write myself a part so that I can be murdered by Jodie."

Sandra Oh made history with her Golden Globe win in 2019 for Best Actress – Television Series Drama, as well as Jodie winning the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. There's no part of her life that she isn't in charge of. Here is somebody who is notionally answerable to her boss, but does what she likes and lives exactly the life that she wants. And just at the end of doing some really gruesome killing, she just sort of walks away happily into the sunlight and moves on."

She also revealed why there's not much blood in the series, "Strangely, there’s hardly any blood, there’s hardly any gruesomeness that we were allowed to show...

And so we filmed in Tuscany for Tuscany, and we filmed in Paris and Berlin, and we filmed in Romania. Phoebe also revealed that she quite fancied one of the lead roles for herself, but ultimately decided that she wasn't right for either part, "I just had a really strong instinct that there should be this age gap because I just felt like it was something I hadn't seen. I'm not a 25-year-old Jodie Comer – I mean, let's be frank.

Of the multiple filming locations, writer and producer Phoebe Waller-Bridge said, "We’ve been all over the shop! We’ve been to Paris, Berlin, Tuscany, London and Romania - we were filming the Russian element of the story there.
