Winter Warmer Watchlist - The Hunting Wives - Season One

The Hunting Wives finally landed on Stan on Monday after being held by Starz in the USA for a hot minute! I finished it this morning. We need more erotic thriller/mystery/dramas in our lives. The Hunting Wives delivered just that.

Based on the novel by May Cobb, the eight episode series stars, Malin Akerman, Brittany Snow, Dermot Mulroney, Evan Jonigkeit, Chrissy Metz, Jaime Ray Newman, & Katie Lowes. 

While in the USA this low hyped series, landed on Netflix, Aussies we this series set in a fictional East Texas town on locally run and operated Stan. Sophie (Snow), a young woman and mom, falls into an affluent socialite's seductive orbit - where a circle of housewives who have dangerous secrets themselves - that culminates in her becoming a prime suspect in the death of a teenage girl.

Brittany Snow is Sophie O'Neil, a woman from Cambridge, Massachusetts who recently moved to Maple Brook, Texas for her husband's job. She randomly falls for Malin Akerman as Margo Banks, the leader of an elite socialite group of wives known as the Hunting Wives.

Jaime Ray Newman as Callie, the number two of the Hunting Wives and town sheriff's wife who also loved Margo. Evan Jonigkeit has a lesser role as Graham O'Neil, Sophie's husband who is an architect.

While George Ferrier as Brad, Jill's teenage son who is having an affair with Margo, Katie Lowes plays Jill, Brad's mother who is the wife the reverend and member of the Hunting Wives. Chrissy Metz is Starr, a working class single mother whose daughter Abby is dating Brad and is not part of the elite socialite group, while Dermot Mulroney as Jed Banks, Margo's wealthy husband and Graham's boss who is an oil tycoon and aspiring candidate for governor.

Sounds like a lot... Well it is! There is strap on's, full frontal (male) nudity and a few C bombs. It's chaotic and erotic all at once!

Spoilers ahead if you didn't speed watch The Hunting Wives like I did.

While Callie revels in her hero status, Margo discovers who's her blackmailer is. Meanwhile, finally released from custody, Sophie thinks the worse is over, but she gets thrown for a loop when she uncovers a deadly life altering secret that not only links together the events of Abby's murder, but also exposes the skeletons in Margo's closet.

The drama, the lesbian sex, the jailbait sex.

This could be one of my favourite Stan shows of 2025. Stream it now, its a damn easy watch!
