Meet the cast of The Serial Killer's Wife

Things go from bad to worse for Beth as cold cases get reopened and all roads seem to lead back to Tom, with her own life becoming fodder for headlines. While their marriage may have seemed idyllic and Tom was the beloved town doctor, Beth begins to question whether she ever really knew her husband.

At the time of its original release on Paramount Plus, Scholey chatted exclusively to RadioTimes.com about her leading character, referring to Beth as "brilliant". She said: "She goes through every possible emotion a human can go through. And it was a bit of a challenge for me physically, with the sexual nature of the character.

"I was quite terrified by the idea of doing all of that. I thought, 'well, I should probably do that then because it's obviously something I need to work through there – therapy'."
