fifth or even sixth season, you\u2019re not the only one \u2013 original cast member Kim Bodnia (The Bridge) feels the same.<\/p>\n<p>However, he also teased that the conclusion to Eve and Villanelle\u2019s relationship was likely key to why the show\u2019s behind-the-scenes team had decided that now was the time to wrap on the series.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking exclusively to <strong>RadioTimes.com<\/strong>, the Danish actor said: \u201cI mean, like everybody else watching this show, [I\u2019m thinking] \u2018Why end [the show]?\u2019,\u201d before continuing: \u201c[The

And it\u2019s like, \u2018Why don\u2019t we keep on going?&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the series finally reaching a conclusion on Eve and Villanelle\u2019s relationship, he said that the \u201cjourney\u201d of the two characters needed \u201csome kind of end because it is so complex. And I think that the writers and everybody must have agreed that it is [a] complex relationship, and where to go with it, and when it\u2019s time to end it and when it\u2019s time to say that we can\u2019t go deeper into all this complexity of these feelings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo probably they have that in mind and [are] saying, \u2018Okay, it\u2019s time\u2019. But for me, as I kind of miss this family, you know, so it\u2019s easier for me to say, \u2018Let\u2019s keep on going\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/20496762-low_res-killing-eve-series-3-0bfd9e8.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=298%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/20496762-low_res-killing-eve-series-3-0bfd9e8.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=298%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/20496762-low_res-killing-eve-series-3-0bfd9e8.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=354%2C236,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/20496762-low_res-killing-eve-series-3-0bfd9e8.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=354%2C236,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/20496762-low_res-killing-eve-series-3-0bfd9e8.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=403%2C269,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/20496762-low_res-killing-eve-series-3-0bfd9e8.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=403%2C269,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/20496762-low_res-killing-eve-series-3-0bfd9e8.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=553%2C369,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/20496762-low_res-killing-eve-series-3-0bfd9e8.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=553%2C369,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/20496762-low_res-killing-eve-series-3-0bfd9e8.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=619%2C413,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/20496762-low_res-killing-eve-series-3-0bfd9e8.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=619%2C413,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/20496762-low_res-killing-eve-series-3-0bfd9e8.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=406%2C271,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/20496762-low_res-killing-eve-series-3-0bfd9e8.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=406%2C271,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/20496762-low_res-killing-eve-series-3-0bfd9e8.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=555%2C370,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/20496762-low_res-killing-eve-series-3-0bfd9e8.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=555%2C370,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><img class=\"&quot;wp-image-802426\" align=\"\" size-landscape_thumbnail=\"\" image-handler__image=\"\" image-handler__image--aspect=\"\" no-wrap=\"\" js-lazyload=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/20496762-low_res-killing-eve-series-3-0bfd9e8.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=619%2C413&quot;\" width=\"&quot;620&quot;\" height=\"&quot;413&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;Killing\" eve=\"\" s3=\"\" title=\"&quot;Killing\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<p>Elsewhere in the interview, he alluded further to those complexities surrounding that central relationship between the two female characters. \u201cWe love them.
