Plot Synopsis

Created and written by Rebecca Addelman, GUILTY PARTY is a half-hour dark comedy series that centers on Beth Burgess, a discredited journalist desperate to salvage her career by latching on to the story of a young mother, Toni Plimpton, who has been sentenced to life in prison for maiming and murdering her husband -- crimes she claims she didn't commit. In trying to uncover the truth, Beth finds herself in over her head as she contends with Colorado gun-smugglers, clickbait culture, the doldrums of marriage and her own tarnished past. The first two episodes of the 10-episode first season of GUILTY PARTY drop on Thursday, October 14, 2021:

"The Last Real Journalist Working in Denver": Frustrated and stuck at an unfulfilling job, disgraced journalist Beth Burgess finds possible redemption in the story of a lifetime when Toni Plimpton, an incarcerated mother convicted of murdering her husband Wallace, reaches out to her to help prove her innocence.

"Crazy Bitches Who Kill": After realizing that Toni is courting other journalists, Beth tracks down Toni's unsavory brother-in-law, Wyatt, and his hotheaded business partner, George, to begin her investigation into the events that led to Wallace's.

A new episode debuted each Thursday through December 9.
