‘The Hunting Wives’ Renewed for Season 3 at Netflix Ahead of Season 2 Premiere

The news comes ahead of the series’ second season, which will be released on Netflix on Nov. 26. Though the Lionsgate and 3 Arts-produced series was originally greenlit to air on Starz, it was acquired by Netflix ahead of the Season 1 premiere in 2025 and remains a Netflix original moving forward.

“The Hunting Wives” stars Brittany Snow and Malin Åkerman and is based on the book of the same name by May Cobb, though in Season 2, the story will go beyond the events of the book. The first season followed Sophie O’Neil (Snow) as she and her family “move from the East Coast to deep East Texas, where she succumbs to socialite Margo’s (Åkerman) irresistible charms – and finds her life consumed by obsession, seduction and murder,” per the official logline. In 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?”

The cast also includes Dermot Mulroney, Jaime Ray Newman, Evan Jonigkeit, George Ferrier, Karen Rodriguez, Hunter Emery, Branton Box, Dale Dickey, Kim Matula, Cam Gigandet, Alex FitzAlan, John Stamos and Angel Reese.

Rebecca Cutter created “The Hunting Wives” and serves as showrunner. Executive producers include Cutter, Cobb and 3 Arts’ Erwin Stoff. Lionsgate is the studio.

“I’m so stoked to be heading back to Maple Brook, and I promise that once you’ve finished Season 2, you’ll be desperate to see what happens next,” Cutter said in a statement. “Buckle up, because Season 3 will be even more scandalous and twisted.”
