Serial Killer’s Wife Cast | Full list of characters in drama

Things go from bad to worse for Beth as cold cases are reopened and all roads seem to lead back to Tom, with her own life becoming headline fodder. 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 with RadioTimes.com about her lead 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 at the thought of doing all that. I thought, ‘well, I should probably do that, because obviously that’s something I have to work through there – therapy’.”
