Paramount+’s Why Women Kill will stick around for a third season. The subscription streaming service officially renewed the anthology series created by Marc Cherry for season three but didn’t confirm when we can expect it to arrive or who will star in the new season.
“Why Women Kill explores the intricate lives of its female characters with a style, charm and dark humor only Marc Cherry can provide,” stated Nicole Clemens, President, Paramount+ Original Scripted Series. “We’re so excited that the audience for the series continues to grow, with the second season of Why Women Kill ranking within the top 10 series on Paramount+ in terms of both overall engagement and new subscriber acquisition. We can’t wait to share the new cast of riveting, scandalous characters Marc Cherry has created when the series returns for its third season.”
