Netflix has renewed The Hunting Wives, one of the most-watched series of recent weeks, for a second season. Originally scheduled to air on Starz, the series quickly gained a large audience after being added to the Netflix library and became one of the platform’s standout shows.

The series, which was added to Netflix on July 21st, has reached over 20 million views in the United States alone in its first five weeks. This achievement has earned it a spot in the global Top 10. Whether the series will be able to repeat this success with its second season remains to be seen. Netflix has not yet announced a release date for the new episodes.

The series focuses on the complex relationship between Margo, a prominent figure in Texas, and Sophie, a newcomer to the town. Their forbidden love affair becomes increasingly complicated by their dangerous games and crimes.

The tense finale of the first season further fueled anticipation for the second season. The series’ creator, Rebecca Cutter, stated that the second season will offer viewers even more intrigue and suspense. This statement suggests that the new episodes will have even more compelling storylines.

The series’ success is also noteworthy for Netflix’s strategy. The fact that a production produced for another platform has reached such a wide audience in such a short time thanks to Netflix’s global reach demonstrates the company’s ability to strengthen its content portfolio and attract viewers.

The momentum gained by The Hunting Wives is proof that the platform can achieve great success with its original productions as well as its externally acquired content.
