CBS All Access Sets Aug. 15 for Why Women Kill; Dead to Me Gets Second Season

CBS All Access announced that its new original series Why Women Kill, a darkly comedic drama created by Marc Cherry (Desperate Housewives, Devious Maids), will premiere on Thursday, August 15. Episodes of Why Women Kill's 10-episode first season will be available on demand weekly on Thursdays exclusively for CBS All Access subscribers. Why Women Kill details the lives of three women living in three different decades: a housewife in the '60s, a socialite in the '80s and a lawyer in 2019, each 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. Why Women Kill stars Lucy Liu, Ginnifer Goodwin and Kirby Howell-Baptiste. The cast includes Jack Davenport, Sam Jaeger, Reid Scott, Alexandra Daddario, Sadie Calvano, Leo Howard, Alicia Coppola and Katie Finneran.

Dead to Me

Netflix has picked up a second year of Dead to Me starring Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini. Liz Feldman's dark comedy about a dynamic female friendship that dives into the painfully unfiltered, weirdly funny waters of grief, loss and forgiveness has been picked up for a second season. Creator Liz Feldman (2 Broke Girls, One Big Happy) will serve as showrunner and executive producer on season two. The series stars Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini and they will return to the series as Jen (Appelgate) and Judy (Cardellini). Executive Producers are Jessica Elbaum (Booksmart, Hustlers) from Gloria Sanchez Productions, Will Ferrell (Succession, Drunk History) and Adam McKay (Succession, Drunk History) of Gary Sanchez Productions as well as Christie Smith (Nathan for You, Tosh.0) and Christina Appelegate. 10 episodes were ordered for the first season, but no word yet on how many episodes will be ordered for the second season.
