Get ready for more steamy East Texas drama, because The Hunting Wives has officially been renewed for season 2. Based on the May Cobb novel of the same name, the series sees Massachusetts native Sophie O'Neil move to Texas with her family, where she befriends the titular group of rich housewives.
The Hunting Wives achieved a respectable Rotten Tomatoes score of 75%, and it's even more beloved by audiences. In The Hunting Wives' explosive season 1 finale, Margo Banks has gotten away with killing Abby Jackson , but she's more alone than ever after her husband kicks her out of the house. Meanwhile, Sophie runs over Margo's brother, Kyle , with her car after he threatens her. The Hunting Wives' main characters definitely aren't in great places, setting up a drama-packed season 2. When it premiered on July 21, 2025, The Hunting Wives was an instant streaming success with viewers, ranking as the third most-watched English-language series across Netflix worldwide. Given how big a hit it was, the streaming platform seemed to take an excessively long time announcing The Hunting Wives' season 2 renewal. But announce it they did, and here's what you need to know. The Hunting Wives Season 2 Latest News The Hunting Wives season 2 has officially been renewed by Netflix. On Thursday, September 12, the streamer took to social media and released a video featuring Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman. In it, they parody their feuding Hunting Wives characters, with Snow angrily and desperately expressing a desire to see Akerman. Akerman assures Snow they'd be seeing each other"really soon" before her natural blonde hair transforms into Margo's signature red tresses, saying,"We're going back to Maple Brook for season 2, baby!" The video ends with a Netflix placard reading,"Coming Soon The Hunting Wives Season 2." The Hunting Wives Season 2's Renewal Is Confirmed The Hunting Wives fans breathed a collective sigh of relief when season 2 was confirmed last Friday, as it had been nearly two months of waiting for the announcement since the show premiered in July. Normally, Netflix is quick to greenlight renewals for successful shows, so it was a bit strange that they hadn't announced another season of such a hugely popular series. The reason for The Hunting Wives season 2's delayed renewal is international distribution rights. This is because Netflix licensed the rights to The Hunting Wives season 1 from Lionsgate, as the show was originally supposed to air on Starz . While The Hunting Wives season 1 aired on Netflix in the United States, it wasn't part of the platform's global streamer, so this had to be ironed out for season 2. Now, season 2"will release exclusively as a Netflix branded series in nearly all countries Netflix is available, with the original cast set to reprise their roles.” As of this writing, there is no information regarding a Hunting Wives season 2 release date or when production will start. The Hunting Wives Season 2 Cast Details Though several announcements regarding The Hunting Wives season 2 indicate that the original cast will return — particularly Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman — no actors have been officially confirmed to take part in the show's sophomore season. Obviously, given that they're the leads and their characters' lives are in major turmoil, Snow and Akerman are essentially guaranteed to be in The Hunting Wives season 2. As both Sophie and Margo's marriages are in shambles, this means that Evan Jonigkeit and Dermot Mulroney will likely return as their husbands, Graham O'Neil and Jed Banks, respectively. With Callie being branded a local hero for shooting Jill dead in defense of Margo, she'll probably be back, as will her husband, Sheriff Jonny . Other surviving characters who could return for The Hunting Wives season 2 are Margo's teenage lover, Brad , his friend Jamie , Deputy Walter Flynn , and Deputy Wanda Salazar . The Hunting Wives season 1 saw the deaths of five characters , so it's unlikely we'll see the return of Lowes as Jill, Chrissy Metz as Starr Jackson, Madison Wolfe as Abby Jackson, Michael Aaron Milligan as Kyle, or Paul Teal as Pastor Pete, unless they're in flashbacks. The Hunting Wives Season 2 Story Details Unsurprisingly, Sophie and Margo will indeed be at the heart of The Hunting Wives season 2, according to the official logline:"At the start of Season 2, Sophie and Margo are on the outs. But soon enough, old secrets and new foes force them back together. As they play their dangerous games the question arises. Are they the hunters or the hunted?" These"new foes" likely mean some fresh blood in the cast, but Hunting Wives creator Rebecca Cutter has also teased some other season 2 ideas. When speaking to THR, Cutter shared her happiness at the love for Wanda Salazar's character, so she wants to make sure that the deputy has"plenty to do." Cutter alluded to more trouble in Margo and Kyle's hometown, Alba, Texas, along with new characters associated with Jed Banks' governor campaign, and the possibility of Callie and Jonny starring in a reality show. While no story details have officially been confirmed, this all sounds like The Hunting Wives season 2 is shaping up to be every bit as spicy as season 1. 12 6.6/10 The Hunting Wives 10 stars 9 stars 8 stars 7 stars 6 stars 5 stars 4 stars 3 stars 2 stars 1 star Like Follow Followed TV-MA Drama Mystery Thriller Release Date July 21, 2025 Network Netflix Directors Julie Anne Robinson Cast See All
