The Hunting Wives became a hit show after premiering on Netflix - but can it be renewed for season 2 after being acquired from Starz? Based on May Cobb's book of the same name, The Hunting Wives introduced Sophie (Brittany Snow), who moved from Boston to an East Texas town where she found herself drawn to prominent socialite Margo (Malin Åkerman). While some became invested in the murder at the center of the series, The Hunting Wives went viral for the accents, guns, drinking and steamy onscreen hookups. The demand for season 2 picked up as soon as the show debuted in July.
