The Serial Killer's Wife release date and time — how to watch online from anywhere

Suspenseful new four-part drama The Serial Killer's Wife has landed on Paramount Plus in the U.K.. Traveling overseas? You'll need to use a VPN to watch The Serial Killer's Wife from anywhere.

Hot off the heels of Alice Hunter's 2021 smash hit best-selling novel of the same name comes the inevitable television adaptation that promises to keep viewers guessing well into the final episode.

The book's blurb begins: "Beth and Tom are the envy of their neighbourhood — they have the perfect marriage, the perfect house, the perfect family." So you just know that things aren't going to stay that way for very long.

And highly-regarded local GP Tom (Jack Farthing) is soon arrested for a murder that he says he didn't commit. Ever the trusting wife, Beth (Annabel Scholey) instinctively backs her man. But as the police carry out their investigation and suspicion grows in the community, she's forced to face the fact that she doesn't know her spouse quite as well as she thought and is left to untangle his web of lies.

Could the man she loves possibly be capable of murder? And does Beth really dare risk it all to find out?
