## Synopsis

Deadly Women (2005-present) is an American true crime docuseries created for Investigation Discovery and produced by Beyond Productions. Hosted on camera by Candice DeLong and voiced by narrator Lynnanne Zager, the series walks through real cases of women who killed, asking what drove them. Each episode is built from case files, interviews with investigators, authors and people who knew the killers, and dramatic reconstructions that trace how a grievance, a relationship or a long-term scheme turned into murder. Rather than chasing shock alone, the show looks for the patient, calculated and emotionally complex reasons women have killed, setting them against the more impulsive violence often associated with male offenders. The format is anthology-style: each installment stands alone around a new case, so viewers can dip in at any point. The tone is sober and investigative, with a steady, unhurried narration that lingers on evidence, courtroom detail and the human wreckage left behind. Fans of Snapped and Forensic Files will find the same appetite for patient case reconstruction and criminal psychology. Across more than a decade of broadcast, the series has built a steady following among viewers who want their true crime grounded in detail.
