(Comer) long-running cat-and-mouse chase with MI6 agent Eve (Sandra Oh).<\/p> <p>Comer will lead the cast of Big Swiss as a young woman called Flavia, aka the titular Big Swiss in the show, who lands a job anonymously transcribing sex therapy sessions in New York.<\/p>\n<p>And it looks like Flavia will share some traits with <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/drama\/killing-eve-season-4-first-look-exclusive-newsupdate\/&quot;\">our beloved Villanelle<\/a> as she quickly becomes obsessed with one of the patients and begins a tumultuous relationship with them.<\/p>\n<p>Comer\u2019s previous roles include Sir Ridley Scott\u2019s historical drama <a
