Why do women kill?

We’re about to find out.

The rather creepy question forms the title of a new series , Marc Cherry, that will be premiering on CBS’s All Access streaming service.

The female-focused dramedy will examine how the role of women has changed throughout the generations by revolving around the lives of 3 different women: a housewife in the ‘60s; a socialite in the ‘80s; and a lawyer in 2018 — each of whom is dealing with infidelity in their marriages.

Big names have already signed on to Why Women Kill, including Lucy Liu whose series Elementary is coming to an end, and Ginnifer Goodwin who Will next been seen in an episode of The Twilight Zone reboot.

Goodwin and Liu will star as the housewife and socialite, respectively, with the role of the modern-day lawyer yet to be cast.
