This story contains spoilers for Season 1 of The Hunting Wives.

I have been desperately missing Netflix-sponsored lesbian dysfunction since The Ultimatum: Queer Love was canceled (bring it back, cowards!), so you can imagine my joy at viewing the first trailer for Season 2 of The Hunting Wives, Rebecca Cutter’s smash-hit show about an East Coast mom who moves to small-town Texas and falls for a powerful, gun-toting married woman (and also, no spoiler, but…murder happens!).

Watch the steamy brand-new trailer for Season 2 of The Hunting Wives for yourself below, then catch up on everything we know so far about the show’s next installment.

Where did we leave Sophie in Season 1?

At the end of Season 1 of The Hunting Wives, Brittany Murphy’s Sophie had just found out that her secret lover Margo (Malin Åkerman) was behind the killing of local teenager Abby Jackson in order to protect her husband Jed (Dermot Mulroney)’s gubernatorial campaign—oh, and by the way, Sophie also ran over Margo’s troubled and violent brother Kyle in self-defense and disposed of his body, NBD.

Which cast members are returning for Season 2 of The Hunting Wives?

The Hunting Wives’ second season will premiere on Netflix on November 26, a.k.a. Thanksgiving Day, so…queer women, get ready to fight your football-obsessed cousins and uncles for control of the TV (or, honestly, just fix yourself a thematically appropriate ranch water and hole up alone to watch it on a laptop).

Will there be a third season of The Hunting Wives?

Yes! The series was renewed for a third season in early October 2026. Yee-haw!
