When "Why Women Kill" first debuted, it was actually available on CBS All Access, the streaming service predecessor of Paramount+. Starring a multitude of talent like Lucy Liu, Ginnifer Goodwin, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Alexandra Daddario, Allison Tolman, and Lana Parrilla, "Why Women Kill" proved to be a hit with the general public, as Rotten Tomatoes noted the series' 89% positive audience score. Unfortunately, Variety reported in July 2022 that the previously green-lit Season 3 of "Why Women Kill" had been canceled by Paramount.
Speaking with the A.V. Club, series creator Marc Cherry was asked how he can create sympathy for characters who are doing horrible things. In reply, Cherry said, "I have a little bit of luck in my career finding women who you still like them even when I make them do just the most dreadful thing. I think part of it is good casting and finding women who can be vulnerable while they're up to no-good shenanigans. You've got to look for actors who've got the twinkle in their eye when they're doing their horrible stuff. You know, I've made a good living off of explaining why women make bad choices."
Needless to say, if one wants to check out "Why Women Kill" or fancies another viewing, Paramount+ is the place to do so.
