Season 1 of The Hunting Wives premiered on Netflix earlier this year and quickly captured global attention. The show spent five weeks in the Global English Top 10 TV list and racked up over 20 million views during that time. The popularity and fan engagement have convinced Netflix to renew the series for a brand-new season.

Unlike Season 1, which was based on May Cobb’s novel of the same name, Season 2 will feature an original story. Fans are eager to see what new drama will unfold in Maple Brook as their favorite characters return.

Season 1 Recap

The Hunting Wives season 1 followed Sophie (Brittany Snow), who moves to the small Texas town of Maple Brook and struggles to fit in. She becomes close to the glamorous yet manipulative Margo (Malin Akerman) and her wealthy social circle. Their friendships spiral into dangerous games of obsession, secrets, and betrayal, leading to a shocking murder that turns Sophie’s world upside down.

The series follows Sophie (Brittany Snow), a woman who struggles to adjust to her new life in Texas. She forms a complex and dangerous friendship with Margo (Malin Akerman) and gets drawn into a world of secrets, betrayal, and deadly games.

According to Netflix, Season 2 will pick up after the shocking finale of Season 1, where Sophie and Margo are now “on the outs.” However, circumstances will soon force them back together, as old secrets and new enemies threaten their world.

The big question the season will explore:
Are they the hunters… or the hunted?

Showrunner Rebecca Cutter teased, “I can’t wait to take the audience on another sexy, twisted, crazy ride through Maple Brook.”

Returning Cast Members

Fans will be excited to know that most of the main cast will return for the second season. Confirmed returning actors include:

Brittany Snow as Sophie
Malin Akerman as Margo
Jamie Ray Newman as Callie
Dermot Mulroney as Jed
Evan Jonigkeit as Graham

Based on Season 1’s events, it is unlikely that Katie Lowes (Jill) or Chrissy Metz (Starr) will appear as their characters were killed in the finale. However, Metz expressed interest in returning through flashback scenes, saying she believes Jill’s actions hid a deeper secret.
