French broadcaster M6 will exclusively license the latest CBS All Access series, Why Women Kill, starring Lucy Liu, Ginnifer Goodwin and Kirby Howell-Baptiste.

The series also marks the return to television for creator and executive producer, Marc Cherry (Desperate Housewives, Devious Maids).

As part of the agreement, M6 will also license the second window rights for The Good Fight and Dynasty. M6 already licences NCIS, Bull and Hawaii 5-0 from CBS.

“This agreement showcases the depth and versatility of CBS programming; Why Women Kill is a series produced for our own streaming platform and is equally at home on a traditional linear broadcast channel,” said Barry Chamberlain, president of sales for CBS Studios International. “It also expands on our longstanding relationship with M6 as we work together to bring Marc Cherry’s razor-sharp dialogue and captivating characters to audiences across France.”

Why Women Kill details the lives of three women living in three different decades: a housewife in the ‘60s, a socialite in the ‘80s and a lawyer in 2019, each dealing with infidelity in their marriages. The series will examine how the roles of women have changed, but how their reaction to betrayal has not.
