New Oxygen Show 'Black Widow Murders' Is All About Diabolical Women Who Kill — See Trailer
"Black Widow Murders" tells stories of women who no one would suspect to be so devious, often leaving death in their wake — all in the pursuit of wealth, lust, or power.
The reality is that most homicides are committed by men. But that doesn't mean there aren't horrifying tales of crimes committed by women. Oxygen's new series "Black Widow Murders" explores fascinating stories of diabolical women with cruel intentions.
The show tells stories of women who no one would suspect to be so devious, often leaving death in their wake — all in the pursuit of wealth, lust, or power. “Black Widow Murders” premieres Sunday, September 25 at 7/6c on Oxygen.
Throughout the season, episodes unveil unique stories of women who turn society’s assumptions about the “fairer sex” upside down, spinning webs of deceit to capture their unsuspecting victims. Whether it’s a career con artist, a serial divorcée, or homemaker leading a secret double life, the women sometimes take control in the most violent way imaginable. They don’t stop until investigators finally bring them to justice.
The new series premieres with the episode “Melissa Friedrich.” In the episode, a sweet and charming Canadian woman finds love on the internet and leaves an international trail of lovers falling victim to mysterious illnesses in her wake.
“Black Widow Murders” is produced by Catalina Content and Lark Productions. Jeff Collins and Deborah Allen serve as Executive Producers and Madeline Griffey as Co-Executive Producer for Catalina Content, and Erin Haskett as Executive Producer for Lark Productions.
