Lisa Taddeo's book Three Women has been adapted into a series for the screens. This nonfiction book about women's sexuality and desire has been hailed as an essential document of "21st-century sexual politics."
The show released its first episode on September 13, 2024, and follows a weekly release schedule. Currently, the seventh episode aired on October 25, 2024.
The adaptation is led by Taddeo herself, a book written over a decade ago, visiting various places to find her suitable subjects.
While Showtime acquired the rights to Taddeo's book in 2019, Deadline announced that it would not proceed with the project. It was then picked up by Starz.
The book has already been a best-seller in the UK and the US. And the show's trailer looks promising, complete with a stellar cast. Here is everything about the series' cast, plot, and release date.
What is the plot of Three Women?
As the title suggests, the show is about three women named Maggie, Sloane, and Lina. All the women have a complicated understanding of their sexuality and their needs, which have stemmed from past traumas or broken relationships.
Maggie accuses Aaron Knodel, her high school teacher, of having a sexual relationship with her. We meet her as she struggles to deal with the aftermath of these legal allegations.
Lina married a cold, undemonstrative man after being sexually assaulted by her classmates in her teenage years. She is presently having an affair with an old boyfriend.
Sloane is a privileged woman in an open marriage. She engages in sexual relationships with other people so that her husband can get a thrill from watching it.
Apart from these central women, the series also introduces Gia, a writer mourning her family's loss. Gia will act as the connecting link between these women, persuading them to tell their individually unique stories. The women will then act as subjects for Gia's next work.
Who is in the cast of Three Women?
The series has a stellar cast lineup. Shailene Woodley stars as Gia. Woodley is an acclaimed actress who has appeared in projects like The Fault in our Stars, Divergent, Big Little Lies, and Adrift. Gia's story mirrors Taddeo's journey of researching and writing this book.
