Though The Hunting Wives has been renewed for a new season, the release date has not been confirmed. After the successful reception of season 1, the fans are already waiting for season 2. Here are the 5 reasons for you to be hyped up for the show's season 2.

Season 1 got over 20 million views in the first 5 weeks

The Hunting Wives Season 1 was among the top 10 on Netflix for five weeks, proving itself to be a commercial success with over 20 million views. The show portrays some contemptuous drama with impactful performances. The show's success also increased the sales of the novel it is based on, making it to No. 4 in Amazon's bestseller list and No. 1 in women's psychological fiction.

Season 2 would be sure to keep up the same pace and, therefore, is worth looking forward to.

Most of the original cast ensemble is returning

The original cast ensemble, like Brittany Snow as Sophie, Malin Akerman as Margo, Dermot Mulroney as Jed, Jaime Ray Newman as Callie, Evan Jonigkeit as Graham, and George Ferrier as Brad, are returning to The Hunting Wives season 2.

Fans can expect the same gripping level of performances in season 2 as well because their chemistry was a major reason behind the success of season 1.

East Texas forms the backdrop

Just like season 1, the new season will showcase the elites of East Texas, their scandals, and their secrets. Therefore, fans can expect to see the signature production design and costumes with designer boots, gowns, and high-society settings and events. The show balances some dark humor, scandal, and some sexy intrigue, making it a visual feast and perfect to binge-watch.

Season 2 will expand the novel's world with fresh plots

The way season 1 has ended, season 2 can't be entirely based on May Cobb's novel. This has given the executive producer, Rebecca Cutter, and her team a chance to introduce fresh plots, new characters, and twists that the book never explored. This gives the fans a chance to witness something unheard of and unimagined. Be ready, as anything can happen in The Hunting Wives Season 2.

The season 2 logline teases some new survival games

The new logline of season 2 teases,

“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?"

This suggests that, though Sophie and Margo will start as estranged, they will be forced to be in an alliance, and the heart of the show will be their relationship dynamics.
