Woodcut International handling worldwide sales outside US/Canada
Los Angeles, (18th June 2026) – Radial Entertainment, the leading global entertainment distribution company, along with UK based indie producer Woodcut Media, have 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 (10×60’) is distributed in the United States 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.
Madeline Chiari, Series Producer, Woodcut Media said: “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. 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.”
Cristina Guggino of Radial Entertainment said: “The most dangerous assumption in true crime is that evil has a gender. 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 Koulla Anastasi, Managing Director of Woodcut International, and Cristina Guggino, VP, Originals & Content Partnerships at Radial Entertainment.
