Age of The Nerd
Get ready to head back to Maple Brook—Netflix has officially renewed The Hunting Wives for Season 2, and things are about to get even messier.
The Lionsgate Television and 3 Arts Entertainment series, based on May Cobb’s bestselling novel, made its debut on Netflix this July and quickly became a breakout hit. Despite initially streaming exclusively in the U.S., the soapy thriller managed to rack up more than 20 million views and held a spot in Netflix’s Global English Top 10 for five weeks straight. Now, the streamer is doubling down with a brand-new season that will drop worldwide as a Netflix-branded series.
Back for More Scandal, Secrets, and Shots Fired
Created by Rebecca Cutter (Hightown), Season 2 picks up with Sophie (Brittany Snow) and Margo (Malin Akerman) at odds. But as new enemies surface and long-buried secrets rise to the surface, the frenemies will once again find themselves tangled in the web of Maple Brook’s elite. The season teases a dangerous question: are they the hunters—or the hunted?
Returning cast members include Snow, Akerman, Jamie Ray Newman, Dermot Mulroney, Evan Jonigkeit, and George Ferrier, all set to reprise their roles in this high-gloss, high-stakes drama.
A Pop-Culture Ripple Effect
The success of the show didn’t just spark Netflix buzz—it reignited May Cobb’s original novel. Berkley Publishing reported a staggering +5,000% sales increase across all formats following the series’ premiere, with multiple reprints already in motion. Clearly, fans can’t get enough of the Hunting Wives’ deliciously scandalous world.
What to Expect
Showrunner Rebecca Cutter promises another round of shocking twists:
“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.”
Sounds like Season 2 will be every bit as wild as the first—if not wilder.
🔫🍸 Between secrets, scandals, and shotgun blasts, The Hunting Wives has proven it’s got all the right ingredients for a binge-worthy obsession. Keep your wine glasses filled and your secrets locked up tight—because Season 2 is officially on the hunt.
