CBS All Access Renews ‘Why Women Kill’ for Season 2

Streamer CBS All Access has greenlit a second season of drama “For All Mankind” before its official premiere this Thursday. From Marc Cherry (“Desperate Housewives,” “Devious Maids”), “Why Women Kill” examines how the roles of women have changed over the decades, but how their reaction to betrayal… has not.

The first season of “Why Women Kill” details the lives of three women living in three different decades: a housewife in the 1960s, a socialite in the 1980s and a lawyer in 2019, each dealing with infidelity in their marriages. Season two will follow a new set of characters dealing with acts of betrayal.

Season one of “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. The series is produced by Imagine Television Studios and CBS Television Studios. Creator Marc Cherry serves as executive producer alongside Imagine’s Brian Grazer; Francie Calfo; Acme Productions’ Michael Hanel and Mindy Schultheis; and Marc Webb.
