She soon gets wrapped up in the social circle of Margo Banks, affectionately known as The Hunting Wives, but what starts out as a well-meaning friendship group soon turns to a life of secrets, lies and plenty more.
With the series premiering on Netflix, UK fans will soon be wondering whether they can also stream the drama for themselves. But can you? Read on for everything you need to know.
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 series premiered on Netflix in the US on 21st July, having previously been greenlit by Starz when it was part of Lionsgate. Of course, both companies have now separated with Lionsgate Television having negotiated the acquisition of The Hunting Wives in the process. This is said to be on account of Lionsgate envisioning a multi-season run for The Hunting Wives rather than Starz’s vision for it as a limited series.
So, there could be good news ahead – if The Hunting Wives does premiere to resounding success and is picked up for another season, it stands a greater chance at coming to this side of the pond in the meantime.
As for who will be streaming the series, we don’t yet know. We do know that Netflix UK will not be streaming the series so where could it end up? Seeing as quite a few of the previous Starz shows have found their way over to MGM+, there’s the possibility that The Hunting Wives could follow suit but it’s too soon to tell.
Netflix picked up the exclusive US rights to the show but as of now, no other international or UK distributors have been confirmed.
What is The Hunting Wives about?
The eight-part series centres on Brittany Snow’s Sophie, who makes the move from the East Coast to a small town in Texas with her husband and son. Her husband Graham manages to bag a job with one of the town’s leading oil businessmen Jed Banks, with the couple keen to impress Graham’s new employer and their rich friends.
Thankfully, Sophie hits it off with Jed’s wife Margo, who is the woman that everyone knows in town and leader of titular friendship group, The Hunting Wives. Spending their time together to party, shoot guns and hunt, Sophie soon finds herself swept under the current of the group as it becomes clear what lengths Margo really goes to in her downtime.
But when the body of a teenage girl winds up in the woods, Sophie is soon put in the line of suspicion – but did she do it?
