Netflix has handed an early Season 3 renewal to "The Hunting Wives," the drama based on May Cobb's novel, with creator, showrunner and executive producer Rebecca Cutter announcing the pickup about a month before the show's second season debuts. Cutter said she is "so stoked to be heading back to Maple Brook" and teased that "Season 3 will be even more scandalous and twisted." Additional details about the eight-episode third season, including a release date, synopsis and casting, will be announced later.
Season 2 Lands on Netflix November 26
Season 2 of "The Hunting Wives" will premiere on Netflix on Thursday, November 26. The sophomore season reunites Brittany Snow as Sophie O'Neil and Malin Åkerman as Margo Banks, with Evan Jonigkeit, Katie Lowes, Dermot Mulroney, Jamie Ray Newman, Chrissy Metz, Hunter Emery and Karen Rodriguez also in the cast. Lionsgate Television produces the series, with Cutter, Erwin Stoff and May Cobb serving as executive producers and 3 Arts Entertainment also on board. Guest stars joining Season 2 include John Stamos, Dale Dickey and Cam Gigandet.
Season 1 Run and Cast Outlook
"The Hunting Wives" Season 1 has drawn more than 35 million views on Netflix since July 2025 and spent five weeks in the Netflix Global Top 10. Snow said Season 2 allows Sophie to be "unraveled little bit by little bit" after the Season 1 cliffhanger in which Sophie kills someone with her car after learning who was actually responsible for Abby's death. Åkerman said returning for the second season felt more comfortable now that she had "a more clear understanding of the tone and" her character. The renewal keeps Cutter in place as showrunner and keeps the production team of Cutter, Stoff and Cobb intact for Season 3.

Separately, Netflix has suffered a setback in its effort to have Fiona Harvey's lawsuit over "Baby Reindeer" thrown out of court. The case, which had been dormant for more than a year, has resumed proceedings, though specific ruling details were not disclosed in available reporting.
