‘The Hunting Wives’ Scores Early Season 3 Renewal at Netflix

Netflix has extended the run of "The Hunting Wives" for a third season, even before the release of its second installment in November. "I'm so stoked to be heading back to Maple Brook," creator, showrunner, writer and executive producer Rebecca Cutter expressed, promising the upcoming season will be "even more scandalous and twisted" than the previous one.

Season 2 of the campy mystery series is set to debut on Netflix Thanksgiving Day, November 26. The show made a splash last summer, topping Netflix's Global Top 10 for five weeks. Since July 2025, "The Hunting Wives" Season 1 has amassed over 35 million viewers. Written by Cutter, the series is based on the best-selling novel by May Cobb.

Cutter will return as showrunner for Season 2, alongside executive producer Erwin Stoff and Cobb. The eight-episode season is produced by Lionsgate Television. Stars Malin Åkerman and Brittany Snow hinted at a "big old mess" in Season 2, noting that their more comprehensive understanding of the tone and characters made returning more comfortable.

In Season 1, the story concluded with a cliffhanger as Sophie (Snow) kills someone after learning who was really responsible for Abby's death, for which she was falsely accused. "The Hunting Wives" Season 1 is currently streaming on Netflix.
