Netflix's The Hunting Wives Returns November 26 With John Stamos and Angel Reese
The Hunting Wives will kick off its second season on Netflix on November 26, which is also Thanksgiving Day. Just like the first season, it’ll have eight episodes. Created by Rebecca Cutter, the show follows Sophie, played by Brittany Murphy, who relocates to a small Texas town and gets mixed up with a married woman, Margo, who’s quite powerful and owns firearms. The first season wrapped up with Sophie uncovering that Margo, portrayed by Malin Åkerman, was responsible for the murder of local teen Abby Jackson to safeguard her husband Jed's political future. Returning cast members include Dermot Mulroney as Jed, Jaime Ray Newman as Callie, and several others. A third season was confirmed in early October 2026, and there’s a new trailer out!
