‘The Hunting Wives’ Returns With Scandalous Season 2 Trailer & New Photos
Hold on to your wigs! The saucy, scandalous, and sexy women of Netflix’s The Hunting Wives are gearing up for another round of high-society sins, secrets, and scandals. With Season 2’s premiere date already announced, Netflix has now unveiled a new trailer and images offering another tantalizing look at the trouble brewing in Maple Brook.
Based on the page-turner by May Cobb, the series follows fish-out-of-water Sophie O’Neil (Brittany Snow) as she navigates the choppy waters of suburban Texas’s ultra-wealthy social scene, ruled by the enigmatic Margo Banks (Malin Åkerman). The crown jewel of their Christian community of Maple Brook, Margo sets her sights on Sophie, and the two form a relationship that could hardly be called mutually beneficial.
Joining the returning cast for another round of Southern-fried scandal are several new faces, including John Stamos, Dale Dickey, Cam Gigandet, Kim Matula, Alex FitzAlan, and WNBA All-Star Angel Reese.
Watch the new trailer, check out the latest images, and find out everything else we know about The Hunting Wives Season 2 so far.

Is there a trailer for The Hunting Wives Season 2?
Heck yeah! In a sexy, saucy trailer (embedded above), Sophie can’t get Margo out of her mind, as visions of Hunting Wives dance in her head, all while “Bang Bang” by Nancy Sinatra plays in the background. What follows are cat fights, sexy delights, Dale Dickey, situations that are tricky, ladies with guns, and a whole bunch of tawdry fun. Enjoy, ya’ll.
What is The Hunting Wives Season 2 about?
The official logline for the show is: “At the start of 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?”
As there is no second book, the second season is a bit of a mystery. For now.
What was Season 1 of The Hunting Wives about?
The story follows Sophie, who moves to an affluent East Texas suburb for her husband Graham’s (Evan Jonigkeit) new job, where she’s quickly taken under the wing of Margo, the glamorous wife of his boss, Jed (Dermot Mulroney). Almost immediately, Sophie becomes entangled in the over-the-top antics of Margo and her inner circle: a world propelled by sass, scandal, sauvignon blanc, and eventually sacrifice.

How did Season 1 of The Hunting Wives end?
Buckle up. It’s a bit of a ride. Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for The Hunting Wives Season 1.
The story reaches its climax when Margo’s affairs with both Callie (Jaime Ray Newman) and Jill’s (Katie Lowes) son, Brad (George Ferrier) become her fatal flaw. When Brad’s girlfriend Abby (Madison Wolfe) threatens to expose her relationship with the teen and reveal Margo’s secret abortion, the seemingly perfect housewife kills Abby in a desperate attempt to protect herself and the carefully crafted life she has built, while allowing Sophie to become the prime suspect in Abby’s murder by manipulating evidence.
Starr (Chrissy Metz), Abby’s mother, goes to confront Jill with a shotgun after discovering from Brad’s friend Jamie (Chosen Jacobs) that Jill “really had it out for her daughter.” Her body is discovered by Callie and Margo, who go to confront Jill after a night out at the bar. As Jill turns the gun on Margo, Callie shoots her in defense. Evidence then shifts to Jill, and the case is closed, but the emotional fallout remains.
The story comes full circle when Sophie, who was once convicted of driving under the influence and hitting a pedestrian, purposely runs over Margo’s brother Kyle (Michael Aaron Milligan) after he threatens her. The incident mirrors a painful chapter from her past, but this time, Sophie is an active participant in the crime as she throws Kyle’s body into a marsh. In that moment, she accidentally answers his phone and hears Margo’s voice say, “You better not be f**king with Sophie. I told you not to do that.”
Season 1 ends with Starr and Abby dead, Margo all alone after being thrown out by her husband, and Sophie a full-fledged murderer who is left to deal with the repercussions of her choices.
