The cable network also released a brief video of Sandra Oh's character -- Eve -- wearing pants, a button-down shirt and a jacket, and shaking out her hair as an off-screen voice asks: "Why are you and Villanelle so interested in each other? What REALLY happened in Paris?"

Photos released last month offered the first look at the new season. One image showed Jodie Comer's bloodied assassin Villanelle staring down at her injured abdomen, then hitching a ride on a street. Another captured Oh's MI5 officer Eve looking distraught while sitting in a bathtub. A third shot finds Eve walking away from a security checkpoint with other people looking at her.

The show goes into Sunday's Golden Globe Awards ceremony with nominations for Best TV Drama and Best Actress in a TV Drama for Oh. Oh is also hosting the gala with Andy Samberg.
