Executive producer of TV hit ‘Killing Eve’, Sally Woodward Gentle, has said the diversity of people behind the scenes on the show ‘isn’t good enough’.

She was speaking after the show faced a backlash after a photo of the writers was uploaded to Twitter - all of them being white.

She said at a virtual SeriesFest: “The make-up of the room should be more racially diverse than it is, and we’re really aware of that and I take full responsibility for it.

“You look at that room and it’s full of brilliant female writers, we’ve got a really strong LGBTQ contingent, but it’s not good enough and we need to do better. We should do better… a show like Killing Eve should be able to do better."

Season four of the show, which also stars Jodie Comer, has been commissioned but it is unclear when they will begin filming due to the coronavirus pandemic.
