The Hunting Wives Renewed for a Second Season

Today, Netflix announced the Season 2 renewal of the hit series The Hunting Wives from Lionsgate Television and 3 Arts Entertainment.

The second season will release exclusively as a Netflix-branded series in nearly all countries where Netflix is available, with the original cast set to reprise their roles in Season 2.

Created by Rebecca Cutter and based on the bestselling novel by May Cobb, The Hunting Wives Season 1 released exclusively on Netflix in the U.S. on July 21, 2025, and spent five weeks in the global English Top 10 TV list, amassing over 20 million views during that window, despite only being available in the U.S.

Showrunner, writer, and executive producer Rebecca Cutter said, “I’m so excited to write these amazing characters again, and I can’t wait to take the audience on another sexy, twisted, batshit crazy ride through Maple Brook.”

Christine Ball, EVP & Publisher, Berkley, added, “Originally published in 2021, May Cobb’s ‘The Hunting Wives’ surged back into the spotlight following its Netflix premiere.” In just one week, they have gone back to press twice on the trade paperback and saw a +5,000% increase across all formats in the same one-week period year over year.

The Hunting Wives Season 2 will be a continuation of the storyline and characters based on an original script. At the start of the second season, 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?

The Hunting Wives cast includes Brittany Snow (Murdaugh: Death in the Family, X, Pitch Perfect), Malin Akerman (Billions, Watchmen), Jamie Ray Newman (Dopesick, Unspeakable: The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey), Dermot Mulroney (Anyone But You, My Best Friend’s Wedding, Chicago Fire), Evan Jonigkeit (Henry Johnson, Archive 81, Welcome to Chippendales), and George Ferrier (Sweet Tooth, Juniper).
