Netflix isn’t waiting around. The Hunting Wives has been renewed for a third season more than a month before Season 2 even arrives, and the showrunner is already promising more chaos.
Netflix officially confirmed Season 3 with another 8-episode run. Showrunner Rebecca Cutter says she’s excited to head back to Maple Brooks, and teases that fans will be desperate for more once they finish Season 2. She also promises the new season will be even more scandalous and twisted.

Why Netflix Said Yes?
Season 1 debuted in July 2025 and became a streaming juggernaut. It racked up 811 million minutes viewed in its first week, passed 2 billion minutes by week two, and stayed in Netflix’s Top 10 for 47 consecutive days. At one point it was the most-streamed series in the U.S. Numbers like that make a renewal an easy call.
A Big Production Shake-Up
The first two seasons were filmed in North Carolina, but production is now leaving the state. A producer said filming incentives play a key role in budgeting each season and the show couldn’t continue there without them. That means familiar locations, like Margo’s waterfront house on Lake Norman, won’t return. Netflix’s Outer Banks made a similar move.
Where the Story Stands?
The show has already passed the plot of the novel, so Seasons 2 and 3 are fully new territory. Season 1 ended with Margo’s secret about Abby’s death and Sophie’s deadly encounter with Margo’s brother Kyle. Going into Season 2, the two women are on the outs, but old secrets and new enemies push them back together. The official question: are they the hunters or the hunted?
With Cutter’s teaser in mind, a Season 2 cliffhanger seems likely.
What to Do Next?
