Netflix has officially confirmed that “The Hunting Wives” will return for a second season.
The series, based on May Cobb’s novel, follows Sophie O’Neill, portrayed by Brittany Snow, as she gets pulled into the dangerous world of glamorous socialite Margo Banks, played by Malin Akerman. Released July 21 exclusively in the U.S., the show still drew over 20 million views within its first five weeks, according to a news release from Netflix.
What is ‘The Hunting Wives’ about?
The first season’s mix of Southern charm, scandal and murder mystery kept viewers hooked — and showcased plenty of local scenery.
Charlotte landmarks including Coyote Joe’s, Dilworth Tasting Room, The Park Church and Lake Norman all doubled as the fictional Maple Brook, Texas, giving Charlotte residents a front-row seat on screen, CharlotteFive reported. Downtown Mooresville also played a starring role throughout much of the series.
Showrunner, writer and executive producer Rebecca Cutter said she’s thrilled to dive back in.
“I’m so excited to write these amazing characters again, and I can’t wait to take the audience on another sexy, twisted, bat**** crazy ride through Maple Brook,” she said in a news release.
Season 2 date
CharlotteFive reached out to Netflix to confirm whether the second season will be filmed in the Charlotte area, but a representative did not immediately respond.
A premiere date for the second season has not yet been announced, either.
