Investigation Discovery’s revamping the true crime series Deadly Women with Deadly Women 2.0. The original series ran from 2008 through 2021. The new version debuts on ID on November 10, 2026 at 9pm ET/PT.
Season one cases include a Colorado woman who recruits her son to kill her ex, a deadly child custody battle in Florida, and a cross-country manhunt. Criminal psychologist Dr. Michelle Ward and criminal and forensic psychologist Dr. Rachel Toles guide the new iteration of the popular long-running series.
ID offers this description: “While continuing to cover dark and provocative cases of women who kill and featuring first-hand accounts from those close to the cases, Deadly Women 2.0 will delve deeper into the psychology behind the crimes – unpacking the obsession, betrayal, relationship dynamics, and other triggers that factor into these female perpetrators’ decision to carry out deadly acts. Over the course of the season, Dr. Michelle Ward and Dr. Rachel Toles will use their extensive backgrounds in criminal and forensic psychology to explore a variety of cases from custody battles and work rivalries that escalate to violence to romantic disputes and forbidden love that turns violent.”
