Malin Akerman has spilled some intriguing details about the upcoming second season of Netflix’s hit series, **The Hunting Wives**. During a recent appearance at the Gotham TV Awards in New York City, the actress revealed that both the cast and writers have taken bold creative risks that promise to leave audiences astonished.


Speaking with PEOPLE, Akerman explained that the writers truly “went for it” in crafting the new episodes, hinting at unexpected developments that are sure to keep viewers engaged. “We were way up there for season one, and now there is even more room to go,” she stated, reflecting on the potential for drama in the latest instalment of the show.
Filming for the second season wrapped up in March, and Akerman expressed that the unfolding storyline is even “wilder” than what fans experienced the first time around. “All of us were shocked,” she noted, emphasising that the cast was taken by surprise by the scripts as they were received, often while filming was still in progress. “I hope the audience is going to be as surprised as we were,” she added, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the plot.
Akerman, who plays one of the central characters, remarked that her co-stars were equally clueless about the developments in their respective arcs and the town of Maple Brook. “There was no way you were going to guess all of this,” she asserted, pointing out that while some plotlines might be predictable, there are numerous surprises waiting in store.
The cast also welcomed television star John Stamos for this season, and while Akerman admitted she didn’t have much opportunity to work with him, she spoke highly of his presence. “He’s legendary and lovely, a really lovely human being,” said Akerman, expressing excitement about what Stamos brought to the show. Stamos himself previously stated that **The Hunting Wives** was a departure from his typical roles, which he found both challenging and rewarding.
In an earlier interview, Stamos described his interest in pursuing more diverse roles at this stage in his career. “I can get away with a little bit more than other actors, for a little while at least — until these things start coming out where it’s like, ‘Oh, that’s Stamos,’” he reflected on taking risks with his acting choices. His involvement has certainly added a layer of anticipation for the audience.
Brittany Snow, another of the series’ stars, has also contributed to the buzz surrounding the forthcoming season. She confirmed that a shocking death will occur, a plot twist which she referred to as “wild behaviour.” “Someone dies. I won’t tell you who,” Snow teased, hinting at the drama that will unfold. Her enthusiastic reaction to the script included a literal expression of surprise, as she mentioned “standing up on my couch” upon reading it.
Snow further elaborated on the potential viewer reactions, stating, “I think people are going to be very shocked; I think people are going to be angry.” While she acknowledged that this might sound alarming, it only reinforces her belief that audiences should eagerly watch the upcoming episodes.
Both Akerman and Snow have established that season two promises to exceed expectations, delivering a mix of suspense, drama, and intriguing narratives that will engage fans old and new. **The Hunting Wives**’ first season is currently streaming on Netflix, and anticipation is building for the soon-to-be-released second season filled with unexpected twists and memorable performances.
As the release date approaches, fans of the series have much to look forward to, and with the commitment from the cast and crew to push boundaries, it’s clear that **The Hunting Wives** is set to delve even deeper into the complexities of its characters and the secrets lying beneath the surface of Maple Brook.
