(New York, NY) - Today Investigation Discovery (ID), the leading true crime network, announced a new iteration of its landmark series DEADLY WOMEN. Building upon the enduring legacy of its predecessor which aired for more than 600 episodes on ID, DEADLY WOMEN 2.0 will continue to dive into the motives, psychology and obsessions that led seemingly ordinary women to commit deadly crimes. Guided by criminal psychologist Dr. Michelle Ward and criminal and forensic psychologist Dr. Rachel Toles, the series covers shocking cases from femme fatales to love triangles and scandalous affairs and the psychology behind them and their perpetrators. DEADLY WOMEN 2.0 premieres Tuesday, November 10 at 9PM ET/PT, with new episodes airing weekly. Episodes will be available to stream on HBO Max.
While continuing to cover dark and provocative cases of women who kill and featuring first-hand accounts from those close to the cases, DEADLY WOMEN 2.0 will delve deeper into the psychology behind the crimes - unpacking the obsession, betrayal, relationship dynamics, and other triggers that factor into these female perpetrators' decision to carry out deadly acts. Over the course of the season, Dr. Michelle Ward and Dr. Rachel Toles will use their extensive backgrounds in criminal and forensic psychology to explore a variety of cases from custody battles and work rivalries that escalate to violence to romantic disputes and forbidden love that turns violent.
The premiere episode unpacks a case from Longmont, Colorado, where a mother consumed by jealousy weaponizes her son to punish the ex who left her for her sister. Then in Gulf Breeze, Florida a domestic dispute over child custody heats up and ends in murder. "Malicious Moms" premieres on Tuesday, November 10 at 9pm ET/PT on ID.
