CBS All Access announced today 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.

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.
You know this terrific cast from all over the place. Liu is wrapping her final season as Joan Watson on Elementary, Goodwin played the beloved Snow White on Once Upon a Time, and you know Howell-Baptiste from The Good Place, Killing Eve, and Barry. She's a busy woman!
