The Hunting Wives Season 2 trailer reunites Sophie and Margo ahead of November premiere
Netflix’s new trailer puts Sophie and Margo’s strained relationship at the centre of an eight-episode season due November 26.
Netflix released the full trailer for The Hunting Wives Season 2 on October 20, 2026, setting up a renewed alliance between Sophie and Margo before all eight episodes arrive on the service November 26. The preview gives viewers their first fuller look at how the pair’s strained relationship will drive the East Texas drama’s return.
Sophie and Margo face new threats
The official season description says Sophie and Margo start the new episodes on the outs. Old secrets and new foes then force them back together as they resume what it calls their ‘dangerous games.’ Brittany Snow plays Sophie, while Malin Åkerman plays Margo. The description frames their relationship around a question: whether they are the hunters or the hunted.
Deadline reports that the trailer is set to Nancy Sinatra’s ‘Bang Bang’ and features references to ‘evil-doers,’ ‘Texas justice’ and ‘someone is going down.’ The Hollywood Reporter also describes a reality show entering the world of the East Texas women and says the preview teases a possible reconciliation for Sophie and Margo. Those glimpses point to conflict without settling how the characters’ story will unfold.
A third season is already ordered
Netflix has renewed The Hunting Wives for a third season ahead of the second season’s release, according to both outlets. That order means the November premiere is no longer the show’s last announced season, even as the new trailer focuses on the immediate fallout between its central characters.
Rebecca Cutter created and runs the series, which is produced by Lionsgate Television. It adapts May Cobb’s novel of the same name and debuted on Netflix in 2025 after originally being developed for Starz, The Hollywood Reporter says. Alongside Snow and Åkerman, the returning cast named by the outlets includes Dermot Mulroney, Jaime Ray Newman, Evan Jonigkeit, George Ferrier, Karen Rodriguez and Hunter Emery. John Stamos and Angel Reese are among the actors also appearing in Season 2.
