Killer Women with Piers Morgan, Series 2

Piers Morgan returns to the southern states of America to meet five more of the most notorious female murderers. He ventures behind bars to come face to face with women who have carried out the most unspeakable crimes in a quest to discover what drives a woman to kill. Each story hinges on a gripping encounter with women who now face decades behind bars; each chilling interview takes place inside the maximum security prison these killers now call home. Alongside these fascinating encounters, Piers also digs deeper into each story, meeting people whose lives were touched or altered by the events and who can shed light on the truth behind the shocking headlines. Through his search for such deeper truths, Piers gets to highlight the grey areas in each story, be it the safety of a conviction or the extent to which each woman tries to hide their culpability by shifting blame onto others involved. Each story – and the killer woman at its heart – evokes a different emotional reaction in the audience: these murderers are daughters, mothers and lovers whose crimes challenge the stereotypes we associate with female roles in society. Through their stories, and the gripping interviews at their heart, Piers peels back the layers on these rarest of female characters: women who have for some reason, felt compelled to commit the ultimate crime.
