“Three Women” finally has a premiere date at its new network

The Shailene Woodley–led cast are pictured in new photos released by Starz.

Three Women, the TV series based on Lisa Taddeo's bestselling book of the same name, was canceled by Showtime in January 2023, before it even aired. It was one of several shows axed as the cable channel prepared to merge with Paramount+.

Now, Starz has finally given it a premiere date: midnight on Friday, Sept. 13 on the Starz app and at 10 p.m. ET/PT that night on the traditional channel.

Along with the date, Starz has also released new images from the 10-episode series, which show the cast in character.

Shailene Woodley, who had big success costarring in a TV series based on a bestseller with HBO's Big Little Lies, plays Gia, a fictionalized version of Taddeo. The writer is grieving the loss of her family, as she convinces three women to share their intimate stories with her. The relationships they develop "change the course of her life forever," according to a news release.

DeWanda Wise, of Jurassic World Dominion, plays Sloane, "a glamorous entrepreneur in the Northeast" who has "a committed open marriage with Richard (Blair Underwood), until two sexy new strangers threaten their aspirational love story."

GLOW alum Betty Gilpin plays Lina, and Maggie is portrayed by Gabrielle Creevy from the BBC dramedy In My Skin.

Lina is a Midwestern homemaker who's "a decade into a passionless marriage when she embarks on an affair that quickly becomes all-consuming and transforms her life."

Maggie is a student in North Dakota who "accuses her married English teacher of an inappropriate relationship." Jason Ralph (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) is the teacher.

The book earned raves from influential celebrities including Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of 2007 blockbuster book Eat Pray Love and Gwyneth Paltrow.

In Entertainment Weekly's July 2019 review, critic Leah Greenblatt gave it a grade of A-.

"In another medium, these dilemmas could easily come off as a certain kind of erotic cliché, sensational filler for advice columns and daytime talk shows," Greenblatt wrote. "It's Taddeo’s deep, almost feverish commitment to detail and context that elevates the stories, making them feel not just painfully real but revelatory. In her efforts to explore 'the nuances of desire that hold the truth of who we are at our rawest moments,' she actually does much more: By peeling back the layers with such clear-eyed compassion, Taddeo illuminates the essential, elemental mystery of what it is to be a woman in the world."

That same month, Taddeo told EW about her inspiration for the project.

"I'd been writing for Esquire a lot and I was very in tune with this male audience," she said. "It was the opposite gender from mine, and I was intrigued by it. But then I started talking to a lot of men. The stories started to feel — there was a lot ego involved. Not in all the men, but in a lot of it. Women felt more complex and interesting."
