Another day, another book-to-screen adaptation: The Hunting Wives is based on May Cobb’s popular mystery novel about a family that moves to Texas from the East Coast and gets entangled with the town’s titular dangerous, affluent group. Originally developed for Starz before moving to Netflix, the thriller series stars Malin Akerman and Brittany Snow as the two central characters, Margo and Sophie, who immediately become close and change each other’s lives—especially as they become entangled in a crime.
Akerman and Snow are joined by an ensemble cast in the series, which drops on the streaming service on July 21, 2025. Ahead, we break down the secrets and lies of the main characters and highlight the actors playing them in The Hunting Wives.
