Netflix adds another gripping tale to its treasure trove of addictive dramas. Lionsgate's The Hunting Wives is here to induct viewers into a shady socialite's orbit, replete with seduction, mystery, and nail-biting danger. Herein, threats do not hide behind camouflage; they dress up in couture. Unravelling the façade of a perfect suburbia, this series explores a world of envy, betrayal, and obsession.

Stock up your popcorn as this drama promises to capture viewers inside a Southern maze of glamour and gunpowder this summer.

Based on May Cobb's novel, The Hunting Wives narrates a vicious tale of a toxic circle of affluent girlfriends in a small town in East Texas. As charming as the martinis and the manicures seem, there lie dubious intentions, lethal rumors, and a treacherous path ahead for Sophie O’Neil, a rookie socialite. After moving from Cambridge to Texas, O’Neil finds herself enthralled by the seductive Margo Banks and her group, the Hunting Wives. Jealousy, dangerous liaisons, and murder follow O’Neil's fate like the devil's curse. 

Pitch Perfect fame Brittany Snow stars as O’Neil, while Watchmen's Malin Akerman brings Banks to life in this intense drama. Joining their scandalous escapades are Dermot Mulroney, who stars as Jed Banks, Chrissy Metz, who plays Starr Jackson, Jaime Ray Newman, who plays Callie Baskin, and Evan Jonigkeit, who portrays Graham O’Neil. Rounding off the stellar cast, George Ferrier breathes life into Brad Thompson as Katie Lowes does to Jill Thompson. Avid bingers can already predict a spellbinding performance from the extraordinary casting.

With secrets buried deep inside the charming allure of the Southern town, only time can tell how far these women are willing to go down the dangerous road. And fans can find that out within just a few days. 

Initially developed at Starz in 2023, Lionsgate finally re-acquired the rights to the drama in 2025, confirming Netflix as its streaming partner. However, the wait is almost over, as The Hunting Wives will finally arrive on the screens on July 21, 2025, with all eight episodes simultaneously streaming. Creator and showrunner Rebecca Cutter has joined hands with author May Cobb and Erwin Stoff (The Serpent Queen) to deliver a character-centered psychological drama that will leave fans glued to the edge of their couch long after the final Tudum. 

Fans of Desperate Housewives and Big Little Lies can expect a much more sinister storytelling in Netflix's The Hunting Wives with the added touch of a fiercely personal narrative style. The show's limited series format will make for a perfect summer binge, adding to Netflix's expansive trove of gripping dramas fans can finish in one go.
