Malin Akerman Teases ‘Wilder’ Season 2 of “The Hunting Wives”, Says There Will Be ‘Unexpected Twists’ (Exclusive)

**Malin Akerman Talks Excitement for Season Two of ‘The Hunting Wives’**

Malin Akerman is gearing up for an exhilarating second season of her hit series “The Hunting Wives.” The actress, who portrays Margo Banks, attended the Leading Hotels of the World Accreditation Celebration at the Calamigos Ranch Resort & Spa in Malibu on 1st May 2026, where she shared exclusive insights into what viewers can expect from the upcoming episodes.

According to Akerman, the second season promises to be more thrilling and unpredictable compared to the first. “I feel like we’ve been talking about it because we just feel like it’s a little bit wilder than the first season, meaning more twists and turns that are really unexpected,” she said, expressing her enthusiasm about the new scripts.

In the series, Akerman leads a talented ensemble cast alongside Brittany Snow, Evan Jonigkeit, Katie Lowes, and Dermot Mulroney. The storyline will take a darker turn as Snow’s character, Sophie, moves to Texas, trying to integrate into a group of East Texas socialites, only to find herself intertwined in a murder mystery when a teenager, Abby, is found dead.

Fans can look forward to deeper explorations of Margo’s character in season two, particularly regarding her backstory. The logline reveals the tension between Margo and Sophie: “Sophie and Margo are on the outs. But soon enough, old secrets and new foes force them back together.” The storyline raises a compelling question for viewers: are they the hunters, or are they the hunted?

Aside from her on-screen relationship with Snow, Akerman revealed a deeper friendship blossoming between the two off-screen. She described Snow as “one of my best friends now” and indicated that their shared passion for true crime podcasts has only strengthened their bond. “It feels like a sisterly love, and she’s just part of my family now,” she added, expressing her gratitude for having the opportunity to work closely with such an incredible person.

Discussing the emotional aspects of filming, Akerman recalled their first intimate scenes together, revealing that both experienced significant nerves in preparing for those moments. “Before our very first intimate scene together, there was a lot of nerves. We’re so used to critiquing our own bodies,” she said. Akerman emphasised the importance of self-acceptance, encouraging one another to embrace their beauty. “Let’s just celebrate our bodies right now,” she said, highlighting the supportive environment they created for each other.

Heading into season two, Akerman feels a sense of ease, thanks in part to the established dynamics and direction of the show. She noted the advantage of having a clearer understanding of their characters and the overall tone, as well as a dedicated audience that appreciates the series. “All of that has just made it such a pleasure,” she explained.

While an official release date for “The Hunting Wives” season two has yet to be announced, showrunner Rebecca Cutter expressed her enthusiasm for the upcoming episodes, promising fans another “sexy, twisted, bats— crazy ride through Maple Brook.”

As excitement builds for the new season, viewers can still catch up on the first series, which is currently available for streaming on Netflix. It’s safe to say that Malin Akerman’s enthusiasm has heightened anticipation for what promises to be a gripping return to the screen.
