Hit Netflix Series The Hunting Wives Teases a Game-Changing Season 2 Plot Twist
Netflix’s summer breakout thriller The Hunting Wives is officially returning for Season 2, and Brittany Snow says the new chapter will dial up the chaos and raise the stakes beyond last year.
Netflix is not letting go of its summer obsession. The Hunting Wives is officially coming back for Season 2, and if the people making it are to be believed, the next round is going to be messier, louder, and somehow even wilder than the first ride.
Production kicks off in November
Brittany Snow says cameras are about to roll on Season 2 in early November. No plot spoilers from her, but the tone is clear.
'We start in a couple weeks, in the beginning of November, so it's definitely happening. And I've heard some whisperings of what the show is going to be about this season, and somehow it's crazier than last year.'
Quick refresher: where we left off
The show premiered July 21 and immediately parked itself at the top of Netflix's charts. The finale dropped a pretty nasty bomb: Margo's deadly secret came out, which blew up the power dynamic between her and Sophie. Season 2 is leaning into that fallout. Expect their not-quite-friendship, not-quite-feud to get more tangled — new threats, fresh betrayals, and the ongoing question of who is actually pulling the strings.
What the showrunner is promising
Showrunner Rebecca Perry Cutter is teasing 'another sexy, twisted, batshit crazy ride through Maple Brook.'
Also important: the series isn't just finishing the book. Cutter says the new season continues with an original storyline rather than a direct adaptation of May Cobb's novel. When we pick back up, Sophie and Margo are on the outs. Old secrets and new enemies force them back into each other's orbit, blurring the line between hunter and hunted — which, yes, is exactly the kind of chaos this show lives on.
Who's back
- Malin Akerman
- Dermot Mulroney
- Katie Lowes
- Chrissy Metz
- Jaime Ray Newman

With filming beginning in November, the turnaround could be fairly quick. Translation: the wait between seasons might not be brutal. And if the creatives are right, Maple Brook is about to get even less safe for, well, everyone.
