Killer Women Reboot for ViX+

TelevisaUnivision has lined up a reboot of the hit series Killer Women (Mujeres Asesinas) as an exclusive on ViX+, its new global SVOD service launching next month.

Yalitza Aparicio, nominated for an Oscar for best actress in 2019 for Roma, will star in an episode of the psychological drama, which began filming this month.

Written by Alicia Luna, Killer Women will feature eight original Mexican stories inspired by Marissa Grinstein’s book Mujeres Asesinas. Plétora Productions is producing.

“The new generations and fans of Mujeres Asesinas will be able to enjoy a new version of this popular franchise,” said Vincenzo Gratteri, senior VP of development at ViX+. “With a bold approach, the series tells each story from the point of view of those who lived through extreme situations that led them to commit murder. We have top talent both in front of and behind the cameras who together have created a new take on the anthology that broke barriers and delighted audiences internationally.”
