STARZ has announced the premiere date for its anticipated limited event series Three Women. The intimate portrayal of female desire, based on the New York Times bestselling book by Lisa Taddeo, will premiere Friday, September 13 at midnight on the STARZ app. On linear television, it will debut on STARZ at 10:00 PM ET/PT in the U.S.
The series stars Shailene Woodley (Big Little Lies, The Descendants), Betty Gilpin (Gaslit, GLOW), DeWanda Wise (She’s Gotta Have It, Jurassic World: Dominion), Gabrielle Creevy (In My Skin, The Pact), Blair Underwood (In Treatment, Your Honor), Jason Ralph (The Magicians, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) and John Patrick Amedori (Dear White People, The Vatican Tapes).
A Tale of Transformational Journeys
Lina (Gilpin), a homemaker in suburban Indiana, finds herself in a passionless marriage when she reconnects with an old flame through social media. This affair quickly becomes all-consuming and transforms her life.
Sloane (Wise), a successful restaurant owner, is happily married to a man who watches her have sex with others, until two new strangers jeopardize their open marriage.
Maggie’s Intense Journey
Maggie (Gabrielle Creevy), a student in North Dakota, faces significant struggles after accusing her married English teacher of inappropriate behavior. This storyline resonates with Taddeo’s narrative style of documenting real-life experiences.
The Writer’s Influence: Gia’s Role in Connecting Stories
Gia (Woodley), grieving the loss of her family, persuades these three women to share their stories, irrevocably impacting their lives and her own. As these women’s narratives unfold through her lens, we witness a profound transformation in Gia’s journey, mirroring Taddeo’s investigative approach.
A Strong Creative Team Behind the Series
The series benefits from the expertise of showrunner Laura Eason (The Loudest Voice, House of Cards). Author Lisa Taddeo not only created the series but also serves as an executive producer alongside Emmy Rossum and Kathy Ciric.
Taddeo described the series as a project that took years to develop: The storyline reflects themes similar to those I explored in my book, portraying desire, heartbreak, and infatuation in all its nuanced forms.
