What happens in The Ex-Wife?

As previously mentioned, The Ex-Wife is based on a novel, but for its TV adaption it’ll be a four-part series. Having been compared to Gone Girl and Girl On The Train means we can expect to see plenty of twists and turns. When Tasha finds her husband Jack and their child is missing, she’s forced to turn to his ex-wife Jen for help - but can she really trust her?

Who is in the cast of The Ex-Wife?

The Ex-Wife stars Showtrial’s Céline Buckens as Tasha and Sleepy Hollow’s Tom Mison as Jack. Janet Montgomery, of New Amsterdam fame, stars as the meddling ex-wife. Bonus fact: the screenplay was written by Downton Abbey star Catherine Steadman.

When is The Ex-Wife released on Paramount+?

The Ex-Wife is set to be released by Paramount+ sometime in October, although an exact release date is set to be announced.

Is there a trailer for The Ex-Wife?

There’s no official trailer for the series yet, but we do have some stills from the show that seem to promise plenty of drama. We’ll add in the trailer for The Ex-Wife here as soon as we have it.
