Grosse Pointe Garden Society S1

Grosse Pointe Garden Society follows four members of a suburban garden club who get entangled in a scandalous murder and are forced to bury the body – in their own well-manicured flower beds.  

In this juicy drama from the creators of Good Girls, everyone's got dirt … but some secrets never stay buried. 

The cast is led by Melissa Fumero (Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Amy Santiago), Emmy nominee Aja Naomi King (Lessons in Chemistry, How to Get Away with Murder), Critics Choice nominee AnnaSophia Robb (The Way Way Back, Dr. Death), and Ben Rappaport (Carey in The Good Wife).  

Daily Beast calls Grosse Pointe Garden Society “a spiritual sequel to Desperate Housewives cross-pollinated with Big Little Lies.” 

New episodes drop on Wednesdays after 21:00 on Showmax.
