Reid Scott (Venom, Veep) has joined the cast of Why Women Kill, a darkly comedic drama, per Deadline, which was created by Marc Cherry (Desperate Housewives, Devious Maids) for CBS All Access.
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 2018, 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.
Scott joins previously announced stars, Ginnifer Goodwin and Lucy Liu. The character of Taylor has not yet been cast.
Scott will play Eli. Seen in 2018. Eli is Jewish, good-natured and "smart enough to know that his sense of humor is the sexiest thing about him." He is a stay-at-home writer, married to Taylor whom he finds alluring and exciting, constantly impressed by her fearlessness. He's happy with their unconventional marriage, pleased that both have the liberty to sleep with other people as long as they don't bring their playmates home. However, all that is about to change when Eli allows Taylor to let her lesbian lover crash with them for the weekend.
