Starring some of Spanish-language television’s most beloved leading ladies, each of the 13 episodes is led by a prominent actress including telenovela divas, Verónica Castro and Lucía Méndez, as well as Daniela Romo, Isela Vega, Leticia Calderón, María Rojo, Itatí Cantoral, Nailea Norvind, Irán Castillo, Alejandra Barros, Cecilia Suárez, Natalia Esperón and Damayanti Quintanar.

Based on the best selling book by Marisa Grinstein, “Mujeres Asesinas” is a new procedural crime drama series that recounts real-life homicide cases perpetrated by women who were pushed to the limit. Seeking freedom from an abusive husband, revenge on an unfaithful lover or an escape from a painful life, these are women who almost always kill someone they love or have loved in the past. Some are stories of survival, others seek justice, but as each episode unfolds it will be up to the viewers to decide; are they victims or heartless murderers?
