‘Three Women’ Trailer, Led by Shailene Woodley, Shows Tales of Female Desire ArticlePure

An intertwining tale of female desire is coming soon to Starz.

On Thursday, July 11, The network unveiled a trailer for the upcoming 10-episode series Three Women, starring Shailene Woodley, DeWanda Wise, Betty Gilpin and Gabrielle Creevy.

The series, which premieres on Friday, Sept. 13, is based on Lisa Taddeo’s 2019 New York Times bestseller of the same name.

According to a press release, Gilpin plays Lina, “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.”

Wise plays a “glamorous entrepreneur” named Sloane, who has “a committed open marriage” with Richard (Blair Underwood).

“Maggie (Creevy), a student in North Dakota, weathers an intense storm after accusing her married English teacher (Jason Ralph) of an inappropriate relationship,” the synopsis adds.

Woodley is at the center of it all as Gia, a writer grieving loss who persuades each woman to tell her story to her.

“More than I wanted to tell their stories, I wanted to hear them myself. They all had the audacity to believe that they deserved more,” says Woodley’s Gia, who serves as a narrator for each woman’s story as they’re introduced in the trailer.

“I want to tell the world their stories. Our particular pain comes from wound sites we can’t see on one another. The thing we can do to understand is to listen, to really listen,” she adds.

Earlier this week, Taddeo reflected on writing Three Women in a candid Instagram post.

“Lina’s story in THREE WOMEN was one of the easiest for me to write, in large part because I identified with many of her traumas, and I was able to convey enough of my own experience so that she felt understood enough to so very eloquently communicate her own. Naturally then I was nervous about its retelling on the screen,” she wrote.

Taddeo ended the post by telling fans, “If Lina’s story resonated with you in the book, I can safely guarantee that you will find Betty’s version not so much a version but a living shadow cast in the truest light.”
