A fresh drama has emerged, and judging by its appearance, The Hunting Wives seems poised to stir up quite the buzz with its potentially scandalous storyline.
The show boasts a high-profile ensemble headed by Brittany Snow and Malin Åkerman. It is adapted from May Cobb’s popular book with the same title. Recently, a trailer for the series was unveiled, hinting at lots of tension as Brittany Snow’s character, Sophie O’Neill, transfers from an East Coast metropolis to a quaint Texan town where everyone is acquainted.
Quickly, she finds herself immersed within Margo Banks’ social clique, fondly referred to as The Hunting Wives. Initially, it seems like a friendly bonding group, but over time, it evolves into a world filled with hidden truths, deception, and many other intrigues.
As a devoted cinephile eagerly anticipating the release of this new series on Netflix, I too find myself questioning if us UK viewers can indulge in the captivating drama ourselves. Fret not, let me guide you through what lies ahead.
Can you watch The Hunting Wives in the UK?
As of now, there is no way to watch The Hunting Wives in the UK.
The show first aired on Netflix U.S. on July 21st, initially getting approval from Starz when it was still under the umbrella of Lionsgate. Notably, both companies have since parted ways, with Lionsgate Television acquiring The Hunting Wives during this separation. This acquisition is believed to be driven by Lionsgate’s plans for multiple seasons of The Hunting Wives, contrasting Starz’s initial vision for it as a limited series.
If The Hunting Wives debuts with great reception and secures a renewal, there’s a higher likelihood it will be shown here before too long.
It is uncertain at this time who will be broadcasting the series. However, we can confirm that Netflix UK will not be showing it. Given that many shows from Starz have moved to MGM+ in the past, it’s possible that The Hunting Wives could also transition there, but we’ll have to wait and see.
Currently, only Netflix has secured exclusive U.S. distribution rights for the show; however, no overseas or UK distributors have been announced at this time.
What is The Hunting Wives about?
The eight-episode series focuses on Sophie, played by Brittany Snow, who relocates from the East Coast with her husband Graham and son to a small Texas town. Graham secures a position at one of the town’s prominent oil companies owned by Jed Banks, prompting them to strive to make a good impression on their new boss and affluent acquaintances.
Luckily for Sophie, she gets along wonderfully with Jed’s wife, Margo – a well-known woman in town and the head of the social circle known as The Hunting Wives. As they bond over parties, gunplay, and hunting, Sophie quickly finds herself drawn into the group, discovering that Margo’s leisure activities are more extensive than anyone realized.
In my perspective, when the corpse of a young woman was discovered in the forest, I found myself squarely under the microscope – was I the culprit? This review delves into the intrigue and suspense that unfolds as the story unravels.
