Why Women Kill

An American anthology drama television series created by Marc Cherry, the mind behind Desperate Housewives. The first season follows three interconnected stories set in different decades — 1963, 1984, and 2019 — all centered around the same house and the theme of infidelity. The main characters, housewife Beth Ann (Ginnifer Goodwin), socialite Simone (Lucy Liu), and lawyer Taylor (Kirby Howell-Baptiste), each experience betrayal, leading to murder. The second season, featuring a new storyline, takes place in 1949 and follows a woman striving for high society. Blending dark humor, stylish aesthetics, and intense drama, the series explores just how far a woman can go when she is betrayed.
