Thank God, The Hunting Wives Is Coming Back

Finally, some good news. Netflix announced on Friday that The Hunting Wives, the deliciously soapy drama about murder and bisexuality in the Texas heartland, is getting a second season. That means more hookups, more guns, and (if we’re lucky) more of Malin Akerman wearing a wig. Akerman and her co-star Brittany Snow announced the show’s new season with a video that is totally ridiculous, a fitting tone for the only show of the year to feature both a megachurch subplot and a very intimate pegging scene.

In the clip, Snow and Akerman are playing loose versions of their characters, Sophie and Margo, and do a commendable job for shooting in what appear to be their own personal bathrooms. The best part comes when Akerman breaks character by putting on her wig and telling the camera “Pack your boots and load your guns. We’re going back to Maplebrook for season two!” See, the logic is not really there, but that is what makes the show so good. Once you free yourself of your desire for reality, the Hunting Wives universe really opens up to you.

I won’t spoil anything for those of you who haven’t lost an entire weekend to binging the first season yet, but I think we’re in for a good time whenever season two arrives. Sophie will be hiding another big secret! Margo will be clawing her way back into Maplebrook society! Dermot Mulroney will wear more cowboy hats! And, of course, they will all be hooking up with each other. Does that not sound like a perfect season of television?
