The Hunting Wives Returns November 26 With Season 2

Netflix has unveiled the first full trailer for The Hunting Wives Season 2, bringing Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman back for another chapter of secrets, complicated relationships, and murder in Maple Brook, Texas. The eight-episode season premieres November 26, 2026, on Netflix, with the story following Sophie O'Neil and Margo Banks as new threats pull them back into each other's lives.

According to the official season synopsis, Sophie and Margo begin the new installment estranged from one another. However, buried secrets and emerging enemies force them to reconnect, setting the stage for further conflict as their relationship becomes increasingly dangerous.

The trailer features intimate encounters, confrontations, and additional violence, suggesting that the consequences of the first season will continue to shape the story. Margo remains entangled with multiple characters, including Sophie, Brad, played by George Ferrier, and Callie, portrayed by Jaime Ray Newman.

During one scene, Margo addresses Sophie while the two share a bath.

"Let's wash off all of last night's sins," Margo says to Sophie.

Sophie responds with a reminder of their shared history.

"I don't think we could wash off what we did last night," Sophie replies.

Several new characters will join the returning cast, including Chase Brylan, played by John Stamos; Zelda Moffitt, portrayed by Dale Dickey; and Nadia Kelly, played by Kim Matula. Cam Gigandet also joins the season as Gentle John Moffitt, alongside Alex FitzAlan as Lincoln Trout and Angel Reese as Trainer Barbie.

The returning ensemble includes Dermot Mulroney as Jed Banks, Evan Jonigkeit as Graham O'Neil, Karen Rodriguez as Deputy Wanda Salazar, Hunter Emery as Deputy Walter Flynn, and Branton Box as Sheriff Jonny.

Series creator, executive producer, and showrunner Rebecca Cutter continues to lead the production. Erwin Stoff and May Cobb, author of the novel on which the series is based, also serve as executive producers.

Cutter described the new season as another unpredictable journey through the fictional Texas community.

"sexy, twisted, batshit crazy ride," Cutter said of the series' return.

The showrunner also indicated that the story will continue beyond the upcoming season, with Netflix having renewed the series for a third installment before releasing the second-season trailer.

"I promise that once you've finished Season 2, you'll be desperate to see what happens next," Cutter said.

She also offered an early indication of the direction planned for the following installment.

"Season 3 will be even more scandalous and twisted," Cutter said.

The central relationship between Sophie and Margo remains a major focus of the new episodes, despite the danger surrounding them. Their connection is complicated by the violence and personal conflicts that have increasingly defined their lives in Maple Brook.

Snow described the relationship as emotionally complicated despite the serious circumstances facing the characters.

"There is a lot of love and care there, and yet their circumstances are really dire and murderous, and the stakes are very high," Snow said.

Akerman emphasized Margo's self-interest and the disruption Sophie has brought into her character's life.

"Listen, Margo always has an agenda. She just does, and she is number one in her world. But Sophie, I think, truly has come in and tipped her world upside down," Akerman said.

The second season will continue the television adaptation beyond the events of Cobb's original novel, following the show's departure from the source material in its first season. Netflix is scheduled to release all eight episodes of The Hunting Wives Season 2 on November 26, 2026.
