Keira Knightley Hopes Helen Can Finish Off Dani in ‘Black Doves’ Season 2: ‘I Don’t Think It’s OK That She Tried to F— My Husband and Kill Me on Christmas Eve’
'Black Doves' star Keira Knightley on the show's Christmas setting, Helen's backstory and friendship with Sam, killing while pregnant and Season 2.
Over the course of six episodes, viewers have been entranced by Helen (Knightley) as she balances her competing roles: elegant wife of Wallace (Andrew Buchan), the Minister of Defence, doting mother of twins, supportive friend to semi-alcoholic assassin Sam (Ben Whishaw), passionate affair partner to her lover Jason (Andrew Koji) and ruthless spy for a mercenary organization called the Black Doves. After Jason is mysteriously murdered, Helen is hellbent on revenge before realizing she has stumbled into a global conspiracy that could possibly result in World War III, and pits her against the Black Doves and its brusque, cold-blooded leader, Mrs. Reed (Sarah Lancashire). Following her Golden Globe nomination this week, Knightley sat down with Variety to talk about how much she knows of Helen’s murky past, hopes for Season 2 and whether she’s swapped corsets for guns permanently.
