The Hunting Wives season 2 hits Netflix on November 26, 2026, just in time for Turkey Day. The story, based on the book by May Cobb, follows Sophie (Brittany Snow) after she moves from New England to the great state of Texas. She joins a group of Southern housewives that are much less polished than they first appear. If there's one thing you can count on, it's that these new episodes are going to be even wilder than the first season.
