The anthology series' end comes despite a third-season renewal in late 2021.
Anthology series Why Women Kill has been canceled at Paramount+ — despite having been renewed for a third season late last year. The streamer instead scrapped the third season, which had not yet been cast or started production. Paramount+ had picked up a third season in December 2021, several months after season two finished its run. “Paramount+ has made the difficult decision not to move forward with Season 3 of Why Women Kill,” the streamer said in a statement. “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.” Why Women Kill premiered in 2019 on what was then CBS All Access. Created by Cherry (Desperate Housewives), the show explored the stories of women driven to the edge. The first season focused on three characters in different time periods (Lucy Liu, Ginnifer Goodwin and Kirby Howell-Baptiste) who experience infidelity. Season two was set in 1949 and starred Allison Tolman as a woman desperate to join an exclusive club. CBS Studios and Imagine Television produced the series. Cherry executive produced with Brian Grazer of Imagine, Acme Productions’ Michael Hanel and Mindy Schultheis, Marc Webb, Samie Kim Falvey, Francie Calfo and David Warren. Variety first reported the news.

Why Women Kill‘s third season is apparently DOA: Paramount+ has cancelled the anthology series, reversing its previous Season 3 renewal, TVLine has confirmed.
TV Shows That Were Un-Renewed “Paramount+ has made the difficult decision not to move forward with Season 3 of Why Women Kill,” a Paramount+ spokesperson said in a statement obtained by TVLine. “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.” Why Women Kill initially earned a Season 3 pickup in December 2021, five months after its sophomore run concluded. Casting and plot specifics for Season 3, however, had yet to be announced. Created by Cherry (Desperate Housewives, Devious Maids), each season of Why Women Kill explored how the roles of women have changed, but their reaction to betrayal has not. The show’s first season starred Ginnifer Goodwin (Once Upon a Time), Lucy Liu (Elementary) and Kirby Howell-Baptiste (The Good Place) as jilted women living in the 1960s, 1980s and 2010s, respectively. Season 2, meanwhile, followed Fargo‘s Allison Tolman as Alma, a plain 1949 housewife who was desperate to be accepted into a local garden club run by elegant socialite Rita Castillo (Once Upon a Time‘s Lana Parrilla). Our sister site Variety was first to report Why Women Kill‘s un-renewal. Your thoughts on the news? Drop ’em in a comment below.
