There’s some great news for fans of the Netflix series The Hunting Wivesahead of the release of Season 2 next month — the hit drama has already been renewed for a third season.
Season 1 of The Hunting Wives, which dropped on July 21 last year, proved a lasting success for the streaming giant, racking up over 2 billion viewing minutes upon its debut on the platform, doubling its viewership in the second week, according to viewing data obtained by Deadline.
Now, according to a new report by the entertainment outlet, the series has proved a worthy enough investment for Netflix to give the green light to production on Season 3, even before Season 2 premieres.
Based on the bestselling novel by May Cobb, The Hunting Wives follows “a woman as she and her family move from Boston to Texas. There, she grows close to a socialite — maybe too close — and becomes consumed by obsession, seduction, and murder,”
The series, which polarized and hooked viewers in its portrayal of wealthy conservative women, sexuality, and violence, stars Brittany Snow (Hairspray, Pitch Perfect), Malin Åkerman(Watchmen, The Comeback), Dermot Mulroney(Friends, My Best Friend’s Wedding), Jaime Ray Newman (Veronica Mars, The Punisher), Evan Jonigkeit(X-Men: Days of Future Past, Bone Tomahawk), and Chrissy Metz(This Is Us, American Horror Story).
Season 2 of The Hunting Wivesis set for release on Netflix on November 26. Per Deadline,the series, which was originally only available on the U.S. version of the platform upon its launch, was “developed and produced for Starz before reverting to the studio in the network’s split from Lionsgate.” Despite a more limited launch, the series spent five weeks in Netflix’s Global Top 10 English-language TV list, making its expansion a worthy investment for the streaming service.
