Season 2 debut in 2021. Binge on Season 1 on CBS All Access
Eileen Galindo (The Binge), whose work as a character actor is lauded by some of Hollywood’s top producers and directors, just landed another juicy recurring role, this time on season two of CBS All Access’ original series Why Women Kill created by Marc Cherry (Devious Maids, Desperate Housewives).
This season the dark comedy features a new ensemble cast and is set in 1949. The storyline will explore the meaning of beauty, the hidden truths people hide, the effects of being ignored, and the lengths a woman will go in order to finally belong.
Galindo plays Isabel, Rita’s maid with a bit of an edge, wry and pragmatic. She is well aware that Rita, (played by Lana Parilla of The Tax Collector, Once Upon ATime) is not only having an affair with a younger man, but had hoped and believed that her elderly husband would be dead by now. On the surface, Isabel is the perfect maid, who helps with the garden party and other chores, but underneath it all, with her insight, she may understand Rita best.
“This has been one of the most creative and collaborative experiences I’ve had in television since Alfonso Gomez Rejon’s much anticipated Hulu pilot, Citizen, that unfortunately never aired,”
Galindo is one fierce character actor whose work always shines through as evident in The Binge, All Rise, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. She is also a prolific voice actor who actor whose work we have heard as the mom on the animated Dora The Explorer and Disney’s Phineas and Ferb
Recently Galindo starred alongside Oscar Isaac in the short film The Letter Room which is directed by Isaac’s wife Elvira Lind and which recently opened the 16th Annual Hollyshorts, an Oscar qualifying film fest.
Galindo said. When asked what has worked for her in her career Galindo said “Don’t be defined by others’ expectations of you.”
Marc Cherry serves as executive producer of Why Women Kill alongside Imagine’s Brian Grazer and Samie Kim Falvey; Acme Productions’ Michael Hanel and Mindy Schultheis; Marc Webb and Francie Calfo. The series is produced by Imagine Television Studios and CBS Studios.
Galindo is repped by Schiowitz Artists Management and Almond Talent.
