By Alessia Romano ·
Netflix announced on Thursday that it has renewed The Hunting Wives for a third season. This decision arrives nearly two months before the show's second season is scheduled to premiere on November 26.
The series first aired in July 2025, based on May Cobb's novel of the same name. It became a major hit for the platform, spending five weeks on the Global Top 10 list for English-language TV. During its second week, the show reached number two worldwide. It also landed in the top ten in 40 countries, including the United States, where it reached number one. Netflix reported that the series has accumulated over 35 million views since its debut.
The renewal secures a third season of eight episodes. Creator and executive producer Rebecca Cutter will continue to serve as showrunner and writer. However, the streamer has not yet announced a release date or the full cast for the new season.
The second season, which airs on November 26, will feature returning stars Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman. They portray Sophie O'Neil and Margo Banks, respectively. The plot follows Sophie, who moves from the East Coast to the fictional town of Maple Brook, Texas, and becomes involved with Margo's wealthy social circle. In the upcoming season, Sophie and Margo are estranged but are forced back together by secrets and new threats.
New cast members joining the second season include John Stamos, Kim Matula, Alex Fitzalan, Cam Gigandet, and Dale Dickey. They will work alongside returning actors Dermot Mulroney, Evan Jonigkeit, and Jaime Ray Newman.
Cutter expressed enthusiasm about continuing the story in a statement to Netflix's Tudum. She described the third season as more scandalous and twisted than previous installments. She also noted that the scripts for the new season are currently in development and that the world and stakes of the show will expand.
The renewal provides the production team with more time to develop the narrative before the second season concludes its run on the platform.
