The Hunting Wives

It’s a Southern thang…….

Lately, Netflix and I have been in a bit of a dry spell. Nothing new has really grabbed me, so I’ve been rewatching old flames like How to Get Away with Murder and This Is Us.

Then I spotted The Hunting Wives climbing the Top 10 list and thought, “Alright, Netflix, show me something.” And wow—did it deliver. This show is a total do-not-fold-laundry-while-watching situation. We’re talking nudity, smoking, mystery, murder, hunting, violence, and enough Southern swearing to make your meemaw blush. Absolutely not for the faint of heart… and I loved every messy, decadent second.

The story centers on Sophie (Brittany Snow), who trades Massachusetts for Texas to support her husband’s career move. Enter Margo (Malin Akerman), the boss’s magnetic wife who sweeps Sophie into a dazzlingly chaotic social circle. These women are gorgeous disasters—dangerously charming, morally questionable, and hell-bent on dragging Sophie into their high-stakes drama. Boundaries? Never heard of them.

Think Mean Girls all grown up, trading pink for camouflage and martinis for rifles—plus a generous dose of scandal and murder. If you’re craving a twisty, addictive binge with big personalities, bigger secrets, and unapologetic Southern sass, The Hunting Wives deserves a spot at the top of your watchlist.
