Netflix's take on The Hunting Wives deviated from the book - to potentially accommodate a possible second season - so where could the story go from here? Based on May Cobb's book of the same name, The Hunting Wives follows Sophie (Brittany Snow) who moves from Boston to an East Texas town where she finds herself drawn to prominent socialite Margo (Malin Åkerman). What ensues is guns, (a lot of) drinking, intense chemistry between Sophie and Margo - and murder.
