Netflix’s gun-toting sapphic series The Hunting Wives is teasing a comeback after the first season ended on a serious cliffhanger. The show, starring Brittany Snow as a woman who moves from Massachusetts to Texas with her partner, and there she meets Malin Akerman’s Margo and her friends, a group of housewives with some dark secrets.

The Hunting Wives became a quick success on the streaming platform, becoming the most watched series on Netflix last week with over 2 billion minutes viewed, according to Deadline. The publication also reported that the series’ viewership doubled from the week before, from about 811 million minutes viewed.
With a booming fan base, the question then became: Is The Hunting Wives season 2 happening? May Cobb, the author of the book that inspired the series, told CBS19 that she hopes the show will get renewed. “We are waiting to hear. I really, really hope so,” she said during the interview. “I feel like there is so much more story to be told. It ends on a cliffhanger, and also, the cast and crew were so wonderful. We all just want to get back together and work together again.”
It seems as though the show’s creator has ideas for the show’s second season before any official development announcements were made. Back in July, Rebecca Cutter Variety about her ideas for a second season. “I think we’d do a little bit of a time jump — not a year, but a time.”
Cutter continued, “By the end of shooting, I realized that the two engines of the show are the whodunit and the Margo/Sophie relationship, and tracking how those spines intersect with each other.” Cutter says the first thing she is thinking about is diving into the women more deeply.
“Where are these two women at the start? Where are they at the end? What are the peaks and valleys of their individual power, of their relationship?” she wondered. “So it’s tracking a course for that, and then figuring out what the crime engine is.”
Cutter thinks it would be smart to add in a new murder mystery, but says that production is still in its early stages.
