A tale as old as time. Long before the emergence of film noir in the cinematic conscience. Long before hard-boiled novels, before silent-film vamps, before the puritanical notions of witchcraft took root. Back all the way to early mythology, to more formative, Biblical times. For as long as men have been telling stories, women have been around to lead them straight into darkness.

We return with a new season, focusing on another key element of film noir - the femme fatale. Join us for the next twenty-two episodes as we look at all the ways that the femme fatale has changed - and stayed the same - over the last hundred years of societal progress.
