Showtime Renews City on a Hill, Orders Three Women

Showtime has made a series commitment to the drama Three Women, based on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller by Lisa Taddeo.

Taddeo will executive produce and write for the series. The story paints a portrait of erotic longing in today’s America, exposing the fragility, complexity and inequality of female desire.

Also for Showtime, Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman) will star in and executive produce an untitled limited series about famed actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr. The series will be written by Emmy nominee and Golden Globe winner Sarah Treem (The Affair), who will executive produce with multiple Emmy winner Warren Littlefield (The Handmaid’s Tale, Fargo), Katie Robbins (The Last Tycoon) and Jaron Varsano (My Dearest Fidel).

The network picked up a second season of its acclaimed drama City on a Hill. Starring Golden Globe winner and Emmy nominee Kevin Bacon (The Following) and Screen Actors Guild Award winner Aldis Hodge (Underground), the one-hour drama currently airs on Sundays at 9 p.m. It will have its season one finale on August 18.
