(Paramount+)
Paramount+ has changed its mind. The streaming service has cancelled the Why Women Kill TV series despite having renewed the show for a third season back in December. The show ends its run with a tally of 20 episodes.
Created by Marc Cherry (Desperate Housewives), the Why Women Kill TV series debuted in August 2019 on CBS All Access, the predecessor of Paramount+. The first season stars Lucy Liu, Ginnifer Goodwin, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Jack Davenport, Sam Jaeger, Reid Scott, Alexandra Daddario, Sadie Calvano, Leo Howard, Alicia Coppola, and Katie Finneran. The story centers on three women, each from a different decade, who live in the same Pasadena mansion. While they all have different lives, they also all deal with infidelity in their marriages.
The second season of the darkly comedic drama launched in June 2021 and stars Allison Tolman, Lana Parilla, B.K. Cannon, Jordane Christie, Matthew Daddario, Veronica Falcón, and Nick Frost. The story takes place in 1949 and explores what it means to be beautiful, the hidden truth behind the facades people present to the world, the effects of being ignored and overlooked by society, and finally, the lengths one woman will go in order to finally belong.
“Paramount+ has made the difficult decision not to move forward with season three of Why Women Kill,” a Paramount+ spokesperson said in a statement to Variety. “We would like to thank our partners at CBS Studios and Imagine Television Studios, the amazing creator and showrunner Marc Cherry, and the incredible writers, cast, and crew for two memorable seasons.”
What do you think? Have you watched the Why Women Kill TV series on the Paramount+ streaming service? Are you disappointed that the show has been cancelled and won’t have a third season after all?
This show is why I have paramount plus now I’m not sure if I will be keeping it I haven’t found alot of good shows on there other than the 90s nick classic shows. I will have to reevaluate
Well sadly you have shot yourselves in the foot by not going forward with this much beloved television series Why Women Kill. So to say I’m disappointed is putting it mildly! Who decided to kill such a popular television show. It’s made me very disappointed and sad but then again CBS obviously could care less about me or the other customers who subscribe to Paramount +. This will effectively cause my cancellation of Paramount + for the foreseeable future. Two can play the cancellation game CBS and Paramount +. Goodbye and Good Riddance!
The fact that there won’t be a season 3 is beyond tragic
I loved both seasons– Never seemed to catch the critics attention- just a beautifully written and acted show. Very disappointed
Good. Season 2 was unwatchable.
Very disappointed! I don’t look forward to many shows returning, but I was actually counting on this one! Please reconsider.
I loved the glitz and glamor along with the down to earth feelings of a woman searching for her idea of happiness. The humor was well written and I am so disappointed that there will be no Season 3. It was my favorite. Please reconsider.
Extremely disappointed to have waited this long for why women kill season 3 and to find out it’s cancelled
Why are all the good, best, shows always cancelled??? Also Downward Dog, Whiskey Cavalier, Growing Up Fisher etc…
Loved it. So sorry to hear it’s been cancelled
I was SO looking forward to season 3, I love this show! Mark Cherry is such a wonderful writer! So disappointed! Mark Cherry please know that I have LOVED and watched every show you have written. Oh the yarns you weave! ❤️ Really hoping the powers that be will change their minds! We need more good shows like this!
Very disappointed, I really enjoyed it, something different from all the rubbish on offer
I absolutely loved this show and I was looking forward to season 3. I love all the characters and really enjoy the types of shows that Marc Cheery brings to life like Why Women Kill and Desperate Housewives. What about a desperate housewives reboot? That would be amazing!!
The first season of this was unexpectedly great, the second however was a complete disappointment – the cast in S2 simply didn’t have the charisma or acting chops in my view…. it’s a pity because the premise of S1 was interesting, unlike the tired remakes and redos and revivials of old shows that are so ubiquitous these days, i guess we can chalk up another loss to the mindless inane viewing habits of the 18-27 year old kardashian obsessed demographic.
I just finished the first season, and it is one of the best. It’s nit a reproduction of other shows they want you to watch in your home. It’s a shame that more people can’t stand to watch something that makes them think fir themselves. The actors are wonderful. Every darn one of them.
