The Sweet Connection Three Women’s DeWanda Wise And Blair Underwood Had That Helped Them Feel Comfortable In Their Roles And Intimate Scenes

A great new miniseries on the 2024 TV schedule is STARZ’s Three Women , which is ironic given it almost never saw the light of day. Based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Lisa Taddeo, it tells the story of the unique sex lives of a trio of women from different places across the U.S.

This week’s episode, “Sloane,” dives into the open marriage between DeWanda Wise and Blair Underwood’s characters, and the actors spoke to CinemaBlend about the sweet way they became comfortable with each other for the show’s intimate scenes. When I spoke to Wise and Underwood virtually for Three Women ’s press day, their respect for one another was off the charts. Wise had nothing but praise for her co-star and opened about playing Underwood's on-screen partner on the new series: I'm neighbors with Darnell Martin who's worked with Blair, so I've known his reputation precedes him, like outside of being an extraordinary, extraordinary [actor].

I saw him in A Streetcar Named Desire on Broadway. Outside him being an extraordinary actor, he's an amazing human being. I'm a little emotional about it.

So I was walking in knowing that he is as great a man as it gets. And then on top of that, I had a playlist. I'd pop on the playlist, play a little Sade, play a little Chaka Khan.

Three Women sees the talented pair of actors play an established married couple, who regularly invite both men and women to engage in sexual activities. Yes, this required the help of one of Hollywood’.
