CBS All Access has today announced the premiere date for the new original dramedy series Why Women Kill starring Lucy Liu, Ginnifer Goodwin and Kirby Howell-Baptiste.
The 10-episode first season will launch on Thursday, August 15 and roll out new episodes weekly.
The series details the lives of three women living in three different decades - a housewife in the '60s (Goodwin), a socialite in the '80s (Liu) and a lawyer in 2019 (Howell-Baptiste) - all dealing with infidelity in their marriages. The series will examine how the roles of women have changed but how their reaction to betrayal has not.
The cast also features Jack Davenport, Sam Jaeger, Reid Scott, Alexandra Daddario, Sadie Calvano, Leo Howard, Alicia Coppola and Katie Finneran.
Marc Cherry created the dramedy. He executive produces with Brian Grazer, Francie Calfo, Michael Hanel, Mindy Schultheis and director Marc Webb. CBS Television Studios, Imagine Television and Acme Productions produce.
