Just ahead of Thursday’s season one finale of Why Women Kill, CBS All Access has ordered a second season of the original anthology series, from Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry, Imagine Television Studios and CBS TV Studios.
Starring Lucy Liu, Ginnifer Goodwin and Kirby Howell-Baptiste, the first season 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. Why Women Kill will examine how the roles of women have changed but how their reaction to betrayal has not.
