Why Women Kill Renewed for Season Three

Paramount+ has renewed its original anthology series Why Women Kill, created by Marc Cherry (Desperate Housewives, Devious Maids), for a third season.

“Why Women Kill explores the intricate lives of its female characters with a style, charm and dark humor only Marc Cherry can provide,” said Nicole Clemens, president of Paramount+ original scripted series. “We’re so excited that the audience for the series continues to grow, with the second season of Why Women Kill ranking within the top ten series on Paramount+ in terms of both overall engagement and new subscriber acquisition.”

“We can’t wait to share the new cast of riveting, scandalous characters Marc Cherry has created when the series returns for its third season,” Clemens added.

The second season of Why Women Kill featured in its cast Allison Tolman, Lana Parrilla, B.K. Cannon, Jordane Christie, Matthew Daddario, Veronica Falcón and Nick Frost. Set in 1949, the season explored what it means to be beautiful, the hidden truth behind peoples’ facades, the effects of being overlooked by society and the lengths one woman would go to belong.

Why Women Kill is produced by CBS Studios and Imagine Television Studios. The first two seasons of the dark comedy are currently available to stream exclusively on Paramount+. The series is distributed internationally by ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group.
