What happens in season three?

Fans who have already watched the first episode will know Villanelle married a Spanish woman, and their wedding day inevitably descended into chaos.

The episode was shot in January 2020 at a stately home Tyringham Hall in Milton Keynes, Bucks.

A source said: “The wedding is one of the key scenes in the series.

“Last time out, things ended with the tension between Villanelle and Eve at an all-time high, so fans will be hoping that they get together.

“But unfortunately, it seems that Villanelle and her Spanish bride are very loved-up.

“The scenes that Jodie and co have already shot include a big Spanish band and the cutting of a cake, before she spots an enemy among the guests and goes after them.”

Villanelle will also be out for revenge against Konstantin and Carolyn in season 3 after being used and manipulated by them.

Eve's husband Niko is also likely to ask her for a divorce, after Villanelle savagely killed his co-worker.
