Starz In Talks to Rights for Shailene Woodley’s Three Women
Starz is in talks to buy the rights to Shailene Woodley’s new series, Three Women. Originally supposed to be released on Showtime, the network is currently in negotiations to purchase the show.
In this intimate, haunting portrayal of American female desire, three women are on a crash course to radically overturn their lives. Lina (Betty Gilpin), a homemaker in suburban Indiana, is a decade into a passionless marriage when she embarks on an affair that quickly becomes all-consuming and transforms her life. Sloane (DeWanda Wise), a glamorous entrepreneur in the Northeast, has a committed open marriage with Richard, until two sexy new strangers threaten their aspirational love story. Maggie, a student in North Dakota, weathers an intense storm after accusing her married English teacher of an inappropriate relationship. Gia (Shailene Woodley) , a writer grieving the loss of her family, persuades each of these three spectacular “ordinary” women to tell her their stories, and her relationships with them change the course of her life forever.
Fingers crossed the negotiations pull through. I really want this show to see the light of day.
