Netflix confirms "addictive" whodunit The Hunting Wives will be coming to the UK this month

The wait for a second instalment of sexy, campy, backstabbing thriller The Hunting Wives is nearly over, with Netflix confirming when seasons one and two of the Texas-set show will be coming to the UK.

Having premiered in July 2025, the "addictive" series has enjoyed a surge in popularity after being added to ITVX last December, while it was distributed by Netflix internationally. Now, the latter streaming platform is taking over the US drama, adding both seasons to its catalogue on 26 November.

Netflix shared the news on Instagram alongside a teaser of the new season, which sees Sophie (Brittany Snow) still hooked on Malin Åkerman's magnetic, manipulative Margo, even after her major betrayal.

Meanwhile, some new faces show up in the fictional town of Maple Brook, including Widow's Bay star Dale Dickey as biker Zelda, who clearly holds a grudge against Margo and will stop at nothing to get her revenge.

As for Callie (Jaime Ray Newman) - Margo's ex, who just so happens to be married to Maple Brook's sheriff Jonny (Branton Box) - she might have another love interest in season 2.

Played by Kim Matula, new character Nadia is a reporter investigating the Maple Brook's murders - but will she be able to resist the lavish, gauche lifestyle of the Hunting Wives?

A scene in the teaser reveals that Callie takes Nadia for a hunting session, giving her a warm welcome to Texas that might suggest the duo could grow closer.

Returning stars include Dermot Mulroney as Margo's husband, Jed Banks, as well as Evan Jonigkeit as Sophie's husband, Graham, with whom she desperately tries to reconnect despite her undeniable attraction to Margo.

And if you thought that the Hunting Wives' shenanigans would stop at season 2, think again - the show, based on the novel by May Cobb, has just received a season 3 order.

The Hunting Wives season 2 will premiere on Netflix on 26 November. Season 1 will become available to stream on the same platform on the same day. Season 1 is also currently available on ITVX.
