Is ‘The Hunting Wives' returning for season 2? Everything we know so far
Okay, let's talk about The Hunting Wives —the Netflix thriller that's got everyone buzzing with its mix of juicy drama, murder mysteries, and small-town secrets. If you binged Season 1 (no judgment, we're all guilty), you're probably dying to know: Is there going to be a Season 2? That cliffhanger ending left us with so many questions, and we are here to dig into the latest scoop. So, grab a coffee, and let's unpack everything we know about the future of this addictive show as of July 22, 2025. Has Netflix Greenlit The Hunting Wives Season 2?
Here's the tea: as of today, July 22, 2025, Netflix hasn't officially said 'yes' to a second season of The Hunting Wives . But don't lose hope just yet! There are some promising signs. For one, the show's creator, Rebecca Cutter, seems super excited about continuing the story. In interviews, she's hinted that the open-ended finale was no accident—they're ready to dive back in if Netflix gives the go-ahead.
The show was originally meant to be a limited series for Starz, but when Lionsgate Television and Starz split, it landed on Netflix. That's a big deal because Netflix's huge audience could give the show the boost it needs for a renewal. Lionsgate reportedly sees The Hunting Wives as a multi-season project, so the pieces are in place—it's just a matter of whether Netflix thinks it's worth another round. What To Expect In The Hunting Wives Season 2?
We are keeping this spoiler-free for those who haven't finished Season 1 (go binge it, seriously!), but let's just say the finale leaves a lot unresolved. The murder mystery at the heart of the show is far from solved, and the relationships between characters like Sophie, Margo, and others are a tangled mess. Here's what we might see in a second season: More Murder Mystery : The investigation into Abby's death could take some wild turns. And what about Kaycee Krummell's disappearance? There's so much more to uncover.
Drama Between the Wives : Margo's manipulative charm and Sophie's journey into this chaotic world could spark new rivalries and alliances. Plus, Jed Banks' political ambitions might stir up even more trouble.
Texas Vibes: The show's mix of red-state politics and social commentary gives it a unique edge. A second season could lean into that, exploring new themes or diving deeper into the East Texas setting.
Since Season 1 already adapted most of May Cobb's book, a second season would likely go off-script with original stories. Rebecca Cutter's vision seems to be about keeping the drama fresh and grounded, so expect more twists that feel true to the show's vibe.

Sex trafficking warrant served at L.A. home owned by alleged ‘TikTok Cult' pastor
A large operation was seen unfolding in Tujunga on Friday morning when federal and local law enforcement served a search warrant for alleged sex trafficking at a home owned by a controversial pastor and subject of the Netflix docuseries 'Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult.' El Monte Police Department officials confirmed to KTLA that authorities served the search warrant around 6 a.m. at a home located at 7744 McGroarty St. In addition to sex trafficking, the warrant was also issued for allegations of tax evasion, mail fraud, money laundering and COVID-19 pandemic-related accusations, which were not specified by law enforcement. Sky5 was overhead around 6:45 a.m., when FBI personnel were seen investigating the large residence and speaking with people at the scene, including possible victims or witnesses. At least six people were seen detained with handcuffs, including an older woman who, unlike the other detainees on the ground, was sitting in a chair with her legs covered under a blanket. Another woman was seen sitting on an outdoor couch, wiping her eyes while clutching a child wrapped in a blanket on her lap. Police did not immediately say whether anyone was arrested during the service of this warrant. A property records search for the home listed six current owners, including Robert Shinn, who was the subject of Netflix's 'Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult.' A source involved in the series confirmed to KTLA that the property involved in this search warrant was the same property at the center of the series. The Los Angeles Times reported that Shinn, founder of and pastor for Shekinah Church, also founded a company called 7M Films in 2021 'to help social media stars and TikTok dancers find jobs in L.A.' The 2024 miniseries examines the story, lawsuits and abusive cult allegations surrounding the Shekinah Church and 7M Films. The media focus was largely brought forth by two different sets of sisters who worked with Shinn: influencers Melanie Wilking and Miranda Derrick (formerly Wilking), and Melanie and Priscylla Lee. A summary from a 2024 Time article described the series as revealing 'claims from multiple former 7M members about how Shinn abused and manipulated them and created a cult-like environment.' No sexual assault charges were brought against him. Although Shinn did not personally reply to the Netflix series, the L.A. Times noted that his company, 7M, replied through an Instagram post calling the docuseries a 'slanderous work of fiction, born from a failed extortion attempt.' The post concluded by saying, 'We will continue to pursue all legal remedies available to stop the spread of salacious lies and expect to be fully vindicated in court.' According to CNN, Shinn filed a defamation suit against several former church members, claiming they made 'false statements' referring to his organization as a cult, and that they launched a campaign to 'cancel' him. The defendants then joined a cross-complaint with other former church members, claiming Shinn, his wife and others of 'fraud, forced labor and human trafficking, as well as Robert of sexual battery.' In addition, the L.A. Times reported that this countersuit against Shinn alleges 'brainwashing, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, manipulation and exploitation.' The case was scheduled to go to trial on July 7 in Los Angeles, however, the defendants' attorney group has since confirmed to KTLA that the trial is now set to begin on October 27. 'Regarding the search warrant, we are gratified that the federal government is investigating Robert Shinn and look forward to our clients and his victims receiving the justice they deserve,' stated a partner with Brown Neri Smith & Khan, LLP. Authorities did not state any connections between Friday's search warrant operation and the docuseries controversy.

'Happy Gilmore 2,' 'Fantastic Four' — TV and movie new releases to see or skip this weekend in Canada — streaming and in theatres
Best and worst new releases of the week, from Netflix hits to theatrical blockbusters Two of the most highly anticipated movies of the year, Happy Gilmore 2 and The Fantastic Four: First Steps, were released this week, both likely to find their own fandom. But if you're looking to tuck into a full series over the weekend, The Assassin and The Hunting Wives are new releases on Crave. A real highlight of the week is Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore, a particularly unique documentary about the Oscar-winning star, now available in select theatres in Canada. A great watch no matter how much you know, or don't know, about Matlin Matlin: Not Alone Anymore — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shoshannah Stern's approach to the documentary Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore is incredibly unique. While you would likely assume that a film about the Oscar-winning Deaf actor would largely be told through voiceovers, Stern took a visual approach to storytelling that put American Sign Language (ASL) front and centre. It's a brilliant reframing of Matlin's life story that presents an authentic and candid exploration of the beloved star. Also proving how having a Deaf director leading a story about a Deaf actor is incredibly important and impactful. While the film tackles subjects like Matlin's substance abuse, domestic violence and the pressure of being thrust into the spotlight after Children of a Lesser God, Stern and Matlin create a lasting feeling of joy in the film. Their conversations are energetic, just as witty and humorous as they are emotional, in this really honest and heartfelt story. Where to watch Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore: Now in select theatres in Toronto and Vancouver Happy Gilmore 2 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Adam Sandler understood the assignment for Happy Gilmore 2. As a fan of the original film, which I first watched when I was probably way too young, I was craving some outrageous comedy moments, callbacks to the original with fun surprise appearances throughout the new film, and Sandler delivered. It's been almost 30 years since the the first film was released, but Happy Gilmore 2 succeeds with keeping familiar beats, but telling a new story with a different approach to Happy. He's not the same character we saw in Happy Gilmore, his life has evolved in an interesting way, which I won't spoil, but it all helps the film not feel redundant. Happy Gilmore 2 is a goofy underdog story and a movie that knows landing its nostalgia factor is critical. It proves why Sandler is really the best at being silly, giving us another enjoyable film that's just a really fun watch. It's also worth noting that Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, more commonly knows as Bad Bunny, is a highlight as Happy's caddie. I will happily watch him in many more comedies. Where to watch Happy Gilmore 2: Netflix The Assassin — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From writers and producers Harry Williams and Jack Williams, who both worked on Fleabag and The Tourist, the new series The Assassin, starring Keeley Hawes and Freddie Highmore is a really engaging exploration of a unique mother-son relationship, within a globe-trotting, high stakes adventure. What really stands out is the great humour in the dialogue, finding that balance that's always satisfying when a big action project can have dimension, and that's absolutely what you get here. Hawes is just an amazing actor, to put it simply, and it's interesting to start a story with an assassin who's retired, and seeing her get drawn back in. Unlike many similar projects, the show leans into instead of shying away from the fact that Hawes' character Julie is doing this as a middle-aged hitwoman, and she's as badass as ever. Highmore is also a perfect pairing for Hawes, playing her son. He's an actor who really has the skill shift through all the different tones of the series with ease, creating a particularly appealing character. Where to watch The Assassin: Crave The Fantastic Four: First Steps — ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 Starting Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Marvel Studios is giving us more character-driven storytelling with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The real beating heart of the film is family, and Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach have the perfect chemistry together to really make you feel invested in this family unit. The story of Sue Storm (Kirby) as a superhero who gets pregnant and has a child is particularly affecting, and she's the emotional core and strength of the film. While sometimes leaning too far into predictable beats, Fantastic Four is a pleasing film, but also made me really wonder how this story could and will expand. Where to watch The Fantastic Four: First Steps: Now in theatres The Hunting Wives — ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The pull of a soapy, sultry drama is just undeniable, and that's the case with The Hunting Wives. Much of what happens in this show feels absurd, but there are so many twists and turns in the story I just couldn't stop watching. Malin Akerman, in particular, is always great at playing characters with fierce personalities, and a mysterious edge, and really shines in this show. While it feels particularly chaotic at the beginning, when all the various threads of this story start coming together in the final episodes, it's incredibly satisfying. If this is your genre, get ready to get sucked in. Where to watch The Hunting Wives: Crave
