“I had two different ideas when I first pitched the show,” Cherry says.
“I had season 2 in my back pocket.
They introduced a character ever so briefly of this serial killer’s wife.
I thought, I want to see a storyline from her point of view.
Like what happened in the first season, Cherry turned season 2 into a period piece.
“I thought that dream would seem real and important for a certain kind of woman.
I chose postwar America because of where women were at that time.
Women, the Rosie the Riveters, had retreated to their homes while their husbands resumed their lives.
And also, I love the clothes of the period.
The themes of my characters have to do with beauty and how they feel about themselves.
If you think you have beauty, how do you behave?”
The most prominent threator should we say target?in the garden club is Rita (Parrilla).
We won’t reveal what happens], so she becomes her sworn enemy,” Cherry explains.
Cherry wanted to cast an alum ofDesperate Housewivesto play Rita.
Eva hooked us up."
The body count is definitely up this season.
“There’s a little bit more murder throughout,” Cherry teases.
Season 2 ofWhy Women Killwill premiere with two episodes Thursday, June 3, on Paramount+.
The 10-episode arc will stream weekly on subsequent Thursdays.
