BBC has partnered with ZDF for the development of the upcoming Killing Eve prequel which will be titled, Honey. This show will follow the origins of a young Carolyn Martens. The new series is being described as a darkly comic spy drama, and will be a six-part series which will hail from Killing Eve producer Sid Gentle Films.
“East Berlin, 1982. Marta, 24, is a deep cover agent for MI6. Surrounded by enemies and constantly under threat of her cover being blown, she tries her hardest to avoid detection by Friedrich Bauman, the new Head of Counter Espionage for the Stasi,” reads the official logline. “Finding herself caught between Friedrich and the reckless, arrogant (and incredibly attractive…) CIA operative Aaron Neeland, she is blind-sided by desire in this Cold War menage-a-trois. The risk of being incarcerated is nothing compared to the horrifying ordeal of falling in love.”
