Shailene Woodley is returning to the small screen very soon in the upcoming Showtime drama
Three Women. Woodley has a starring role but, ironically, will not be one of the titular women that the show revolves around. Instead, she’ll be the person prompting the telling of their stories.
The series is an adaptation of
Lisa Taddeo‘s non-fiction bestseller of the same name and takes a multigenerational approach, focusing on women at different stages in their lives. It revolves around the backlash and scorn they receive for expressing their sexual desires.
What You Can Expect
As the title indicates, the story follows the lives of three women: Lina, a suburban housewife in a passionless marriage who begins an affair with her high school sweetheart; Sloane, an entrepreneur with a glamorous life whose open marriage is threatened by two sexy strangers; and Maggie, a student who accuses her former English teacher of pursuing a relationship with her when she was 17.
