There’s something irresistible about following a group of women as they unravel. It might be why The Hunting Wives, a soapy series currently available on Netflix in the US, is drawing in an impressive number of viewers.
The show, which premiered on July 21, has already gathered 5.2 million views and climbed to the third spot in the Netflix global charts. It’s addictive, naughty, and slightly unhinged. But is season 2 on the horizon?
The Hunting Wives Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, the series hasn’t been officially renewed for more episodes.
It was originally developed for Starz, with Netflix buying the licensing rights in the US. Given the show’s success, however, we’d say there’s a good chance for a sequel. As long as that happens, The Hunting Wives season 2 might arrive sometime in late 2026.
The Hunting Wives Cast
- Brittany Snow as Sophie O’Neil
- Malin Akerman as Margo Banks
- Jaime Ray Newman as Callie

What Could Happen in The Hunting Wives Season 2?
Based on the novel of the same name by May Cobb, The Hunting Wives revolves around Sophie O’Neill, who moves with her family from Chicago to a seemingly quiet town in Texas.
She might expect a slow life, but she’s soon drawn into the world of the alluring Margot Banks and entangled in her circle of glamorous friends. Before she knows it, Sophie becomes a fixture in their rotation of shooting clubs, parties, and illicit affairs. Friendship boundaries blur, and a murder threatens to ruin everything. How far will Sophie go in order to keep everything she’s built so far?
With such an exciting premise, it’s no wonder that The Hunting Wives is catching the eye of viewers looking for a fun and seductive watch. The series explores privilege and the allure of fitting in, while also introducing the audience to a group of women doing wrongs.
Season 1 reveals who committed the main murder, but also ends on a bit of a cliffhanger. The Hunting Wives season 2 will likely explore how the relationship between the women, especially Sophie and Margo, evolves following the big revelations from the finale.
Thankfully, everyone involved seems open to the idea of making a sequel a reality. “If we get a second season, I’ll be so, so happy,” Malin Akerman said when asked about whether she would be willing to return. We second that.
Are There Other Shows Like The Hunting Wives?
The Hunting Wives is like a mix between Big Little Lies and Yellowstone. We recommend checking out both of those shows if you’re on the hunt (!) for similar content.
Other series you might enjoy include The Waterfront, Secrets We Keep, The Perfect Couple, Untamed, and Desperate Housewives.
