We've Got 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' Fever: Here's the Scoop on Its Season 2 Renewal

The new alliteration on everybody's lips is certainly Mormon MomTok. If you did not know what it was before, Hulu has made sure you know about it now. The streamer's new series, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, follows some of the women involved in a semi-sex scandal. Amid the scandal, Taylor Frankie Paul, one of the original creators of MomTok, shared her divorce story on TikTok, mentioning her involvement in a group that practices "soft-swinging."

Her story rocked that corner of TikTok and led to a lot more questions. MomTok-ers began distancing themselves from the scandal, which only fueled the flames of fan curiosity.

Hulu decided to hop in to satisfy some of that curiosity, and the new series was born.

In the midst of that madness, Taylor got wrapped up in more drama. Season 1 showed that this story is far from over, and fans are thirsty for more from these Mormon moms. So, will there be a second season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives?

Season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is officially underway! Hulu officially greenlit the show less than a month after it became the streamer's no. 1 show. According to the show's press release, the season will include 20 episodes, nearly triple the episodes the streamer ordered for Season 1.

TMZ also stated that filming for the new season has already begun, with preproduction in Utah already underway. The cast will supposedly start shooting during the week of Oct. 6. And though there haven't been any teasers from the new season, we can predict the ladies will have plenty to discuss after seeing the fruity pebbles and clout-chasing rumors of it all.

Ahead of the second season announcement, Layla exclusively told Distractify ahead of the show's premiere that if the series is renewed for Season 2, she hopes some of the girls can mend the relationships that were broken throughout the season, including how Whitney left MomTok in the Season 1 finale.

"I think that we saw a lot of relationship dynamics grow, shrink, and now definitely relationships are in different places than when we started filming. And I think that ultimately, everything happened for a reason throughout the filming process, and rare relationships ended. I think that that needed to happen," she said.

"And hopefully, if we get renewed preseason too, hopefully some of those relationships can get mended, and those girls can work on those certain things and conversations can be had," she added. "Hopefully just relationships can just continue to evolve."

So far, Hulu hasn't confirmed whether each Season 1 cast member is expected to return for Season 2. In October 2024, MomTok shared a TikTok post of seven of the group's nine members — Taylor, Layla, Demi Engemann, Jessi Ngatikaura, Mayci Neeley, and Mikayla Matthews, celebrating the Season 2 renewal. However, Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck, were noticeably missing from the video.

"No Whitney?" one fan said underneath the TikTok as Mikayla replied with a nosy eye emoji.

As fans saw in Season 1 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Whitney and Jen didn't end the season on a high note. In the season finale, Whitney quit MomTok and has been vocal about her hurt feelings about being labeled the show's bully and being unable to reconnect with some of her castmates since filming ended. Thankfully, Whitney confirmed her return with a cheeky TikTok post about her re-entering the MomTok group chat.

Jen's fate still has yet to be determined. Like Whitney, the season finale also showed her distancing herself from the group by moving to New York with her husband, Zac Affleck, so he could attend medical school. The decision came after the couple's tense fights over her attending a Chippendales event with her friends during a girls trip to Vegas.
