Movieweb reports that The Hunting Wives, a Netflix thriller that premiered on July 21, 2025, has been renewed for Season 2 and is being described as a wild, underrated series.

Adapted from May Cobb's 2021 novel, the eight-episode first season follows newcomer Sophie O'Neil (Brittany Snow) as she becomes entangled with Margo Banks (Malin Akerman) in Maple Brook, Texas. The series drew attention for its shocking twists and chaotic storylines and features performances from Chrissy Metz, Jaime Ray Newman and Katie Lowes; Rebecca Perry Cutter is credited as the creator and Julie Anne Robinson as a director.

The article notes the show contains graphic sex scenes, party-driven characters and soapy, overly dramatic moments while also touching on themes such as motherhood, popularity and the nature of friendships. Netflix has renewed the series for Season 2, but there is no release date at the time of this writing.
