The Hunting Wives has added Kim Matula and Alex FitzAlan as recurring guest stars for its upcoming second season.
Though details about their characters are being kept under wraps, Netflix did share their names. Matula will play “Nadia Kelly,” and FitzAlan is “Lincoln Trout.”
The duo joins returning cast Brittany Snow, Malin Akerman, Jaime Ray Newman, Dermot Mulroney, Evan Jonigkeit, George Ferrier, Karen Rodriguez, Hunter Emery, and Branton Box. Per Netflix, additional cast is still pending announcement.
Season 2 of The Hunting Wives is currently in production in the U.S. It will be released exclusively as a Netflix-branded series after the first season landed at the streamer in a bit of an unconventional way. The series was originally developed and produced for Lionsgate TV’s then-sibling Starz before the studio acquired back the rights in the two companies split in May May split. When it was pulled from Starz, Season 1 became a Netflix U.S.-only acquisition in a one-year domestic licensing deal.
Created by Rebecca Cutter, The Hunting Wives’ first season was based on the bestselling novel by May Cobb. Season 2 will be an original concept-based continuation of the story.
Per the logline, at the start of Season 2, Sophie (Snow) and Margo (Akerman) are on the outs. But soon enough, old secrets and new foes force them back together. As they play their dangerous games, the question arises. Are they the hunters or the hunted?
The series is executive produced by writer-showrunner Cutter, Erwin Stoff (The Serpent Queen) for 3 Arts Entertainment and Cobb. Lionsgate remains the studio.
