The Hunting Wives season 2 is officially in production, which means more Akerman, Snow… and that The wig is on its way.
When Sophie (Brittany Snow) arrives in town, she is quickly integrated into their lives by their leader, Margo (Malin Akerman). And although at first it all seems like harmless fun, it quickly turns sour, culminating in a diabolical finale. Without forgetting the obsessive romance that arises between Margo and Sophie, just to complicate things a little.
So, what’s next for this awesome thriller? Here’s everything we know so far The Hunting Wives season 2 cast confirmed, expected release date, plot rumors, news and more.
The Hunting Wives season 2: is there a release date?
Hold on to your wigs, The Hunting Wives is officially back in production for season 2, as confirmed by none other than Margo aka Malin Akerman in an official Instagram post in November 2025.
The production news follows the series’ rapid renewal less than two months after its premiere on Netflix. So it was inevitable that this day would come, but now we can make a tentative estimate of the release date.
While there hasn’t been any official news, it’s a bit of a guessing game, but given that season 1 would have taken around 5 months to film and be released a year later, I predict we’ll be looking at late 2026, early 2027.
The Hunting Wives season 2: has a trailer been released?
Given that The Hunting Wives season 2 only went into production in November, any official trailer is still a ways off.
As is the case with most Netflix shows, the trailer will be released about a month before the show premieres, so I don’t expect it any time soon. Once it finally arrives, I’ll be sure to update it here.
The Hunting Wives season 2: casting confirmed
While we don’t have much to say about the release date or trailer, we do know that the following actors will return for The Hunting Wives season 2, thanks to Tudum:
- Brittany Snow as Sophie
- Malin Akerman as Margo
- Dermot Mulroney as Jed Banks
- Jaime Ray Newman as Callie
- Evan Jonigkeit as Graham
- George Ferrier as Brad
- Karen Rodriguez as Deputy Salazar
- Hunter Emery as Deputy Flynn
- Branton Box as Sheriff Jonny
The number of bodies The Hunting Wives season 1 was high. Four, in total, have met their end and here’s a fair warning: look away now if you don’t know who these four people are.
Unsurprisingly, we imagine the following characters won’t be returning, given that they were murdered in season 1, namely Abby (Madison Wolfe), Abby’s mother Starr (Chrissy Metz), Jill (Katie Lowes), and Margo’s brother Kyle (Michael Aaron Milligan).
But here’s what’s interesting, in the Instagram post for the season 2 renewal (shown above under the release date), Katie Lowes is pictured in the images. So whether there’s a flashback or a mysterious return for his character, we’ll have to wait and see.
The Hunting Wives season 2: story synopsis and rumors
Full spoilers for The Hunting Wives season 1.
After a lot of drama (and death) in the season 1 finale, there’s a lot going on in season 2, from illicit relationships to full-blown murder, but luckily the plan seems to be to do just that.
Thanks to Tudum, we know that the next installment will be a continuation of the story based on an original storyline with this official logline: “Sophie and Margo are estranged. But soon, old secrets and new enemies force them to reunite. As they play their dangerous games, the question arises: are they the hunters or the hunted?”
And speaking about her hopes for season 2, Brittany Snow told Glamour: “I would love nothing more than for Sophie to have a little more guidance and not be manipulated so easily, because once you find out your girlfriend is murdered, I think things change a little quickly.
“But it puts Sophie and Margo on equal footing in a lot of ways that I find very interesting to explore, because now Sophie is also a murderer. I’ll be interested to see how that dynamic plays out, and I hope she doesn’t forgive Margo and it takes a lot more to get them back together.”
Sophie and Margo’s volatile relationship was at the heart of the story, but with numerous body bags and no afterlife resolution for any of the victims, there is still much to discover.
And speaking to Variety in July 2025, ahead of the official Season 2 renewal, showrunner Rebecca Cutter shared some of her plans: “I think we would do a little time jump. – not a year, but a time. At the end of filming, I realized that the two driving forces of the series were the thriller and the Margo/Sophie relationship, and tracking how those thorns intersect.”
She also added, “I think it would be a good idea to introduce a new murder mystery. But we’re only at the beginning. I don’t know who the culprit is yet or who was killed!”
Considering they’re now rolling the cameras on Season 2, the whodunnit and that’s been made need to be cut and ready to go, and while May Cobb’s book of the same name formed the basis for Season 1, the show has made some big changes since the very beginning. So it will be interesting to see where this takes us next.
Will there be more seasons of The Hunting Wives?
It’s hard to say at the moment. With The Hunting Wives with season 2 not going into production until November 2025 and with no confirmed release date on the horizon, talk of season 3 seems distant.
As always though, we will remain listening to the ground and keeping our eyes open for any smoking guns to update you here if we recover any information.
