Radial Entertainment, the leading global entertainment distribution company, along with U.K.-based indie producer Woodcut Media, today announced the latest expansion of the “Most Evil” franchise with “World’s Most Evil Women,” a captivating new true crime series investigating the women behind recent history’s most heinous crimes.
The series will make its debut later this summer on Radial’s FilmRise channel across streaming devices and apps in the U.S. and Canada, with new episodes releasing each week.
“World's Most Evil Women” is driven by a female creative team spanning both Woodcut Media and Radial Entertainment teams — a decision grounded in the conviction that a female perspective yields dimensional, nuanced portrayals of the women highlighted. Each case delves into the psychology behind the crimes and the choices that plunged their lives into chaos, keeping the focus on understanding their motivations rather than pure spectacle.
The series is led by executive producers Angie Cox and Koulla Anastasi of Woodcut and Katie Carroll and Cristina Guggino of Radial Entertainment. Series producer is Madeline Chiari of Woodcut Media.
Produced by Woodcut Media, “World’s Most Evil Women” (10 episodes, 60 minutes each) is distributed in the U.S. by Radial Entertainment, with Woodcut International handling sales for the rest of the world.
“World’s Most Evil Women” explores a range of high-profile and deeply unsettling cases that have captured international attention. Dispelling the myth of the “nurturing” woman, the series unmasks those who traded compassion for cruelty, committing acts so heinous they shattered the peace of entire communities.
Through chilling testimonies from police, survivors and experts, “World’s Most Evil Women” dissects the “why” behind the horror. Discover the twisted world of Jennifer Faith, who orchestrated her husband’s execution; Nancy Brophy, the romance novelist who turned her fictional murder plot into a reality; Brenda Delgado, whose jealousy ended in a cold-blooded hit; and Amanda Taylor, the widow who celebrated a brutal revenge killing with a selfie.
“‘World’s Most Evil Women’ exposes how manipulation is weaponized to reach a goal, proving that sometimes a woman with a plan and a motive is the most lethal force imaginable,” Chiari said. “We gained exclusive access to people who knew the killers, who fought to get justice for their loved ones and even a victim who lived to tell the tale. And the police officers who worked to expose the lies, the scheming, the manipulation and the premeditation that led nature’s caregivers to take a life.”
“The most dangerous assumption in true crime is that evil has a gender,” Guggino, who is also Radial’s VP of originals and content partnerships, said. “We greenlight originals with a clear point of view, and ‘World’s Most Evil Women’ has one of the sharpest. Bringing it to audiences alongside longtime partner Woodcut Media is exactly the kind of collaboration that defines Radial Originals.”
The deal was negotiated by Anastasi, managing director of Woodcut International, and Guggino.
