Killing Eve has some new company. Deadline reports Kirby Howell-Baptiste has joined the upcoming BBC America TV show.

From Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the thriller drama “follows two fiercely intelligent women – a psychopathic assassin and the woman charged with hunting her down.” Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer star.

On Killing Eve, Howell-Baptiste will play “Elena, Eve’s (Oh) deadpan assistant, but they act more like a team than superior and subordinate.” The series is slated to debut on BBC America in 2018.
