Plot Synopsis
THE WIDOWER is a three-part drama series the chronicles the true story of Malcolm Webster, a nurse by profession and, on the surface, a perfect gentleman: well-spoken, personable and charming. He's also a spendthrift and killer. He marries -- and attempts to kill -- a succession of women to cash in their life insurance policies and inherit their estates. Over a 13-year period, Webster poisons and murders his first wife, Claire; attempts to do the same to his second wife, Felicity; and devises a different scheme to deceive his third fiancee, Simone. PBS aired the U.S. premiere of THE WIDOWER on Sunday, October 4, 2015 at 10pm (check local listings), showing the remaining two episodes on subsequent Sundays in the same time period.
