More about The Hunting Wives
The Hunting Wives is one of the most prominent Netflix original dramas. Although a second season has yet to be officially confirmed by Netflix, showrunner Rebecca Cutter recently voiced confidence about the show's prospects. She said,
"There has not been an official Season 2 order yet, but I'm feeling very hopeful, and even confident, just because the fans are demanding it."
The Hunting Wives is based on May Cobb's best-selling book and primarily blends mystery, psychological drama, and Southern gothic themes. Sophie O'Neil (Brittany Snow), a former public relations executive, and her family relocate from Massachusetts to Maple Brook, a small Texas town.
As per the storyline, Sophie is in quest of a new beginning. She finds herself attracted to the limited company of rich women headed by the colorful and unstable Margo Banks (Malin Åkerman).
Their glitzy way of life seems seductive at first. Sophie is drawn into a web of deceit, deception, and ultimately illegal action as she gets increasingly engaged with the gang, which is referred to as the "Hunting Wives" in the area. The lives of Sophie, Margo, and the other members of the group start to fall apart after the death of a local youngster called Abby.
The season finale took several dramatic turns, and Sophie learns that Margo, with whom she had a tumultuous and emotionally fraught connection, was responsible for Abby's death.
The motivation: Abby had uncovered Margo's hidden relationship with her teenage boyfriend, Brad. Margo, fearing discovery, took action to preserve her image and her husband's political ambitions. Sophie, in a state of terror, accidentally murders Margo's brother, Kyle, and chooses to hide the occurrence.
Several storylines for a possible second season are offered by this unresolved finale. The objective, according to Cutter, would be to keep examining the consequences of Sophie's choices, the complexities of her relationship with Margo, and the wider ramifications for all parties. She underlined that the story's core will continue to be the characters' emotional and psychological interactions.
The series features a strong cast, including:
- Brittany Snow as Sophie O’Neil
- Malin Åkerman as Margo Banks
- Dermot Mulroney as Jed Banks
- Evan Jonigkeit as Graham O’Neil
- Chrissy Metz as Starr
- Jaime Ray Newman as Callie
