  • Hulu's "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" follows a group of eight Mormon mothers and TikTok creators.
  • The show was Hulu's most-watched unscripted premiere of 2024, but hasn't yet been renewed for season two.
  • Here's everything we know about the cast and plot of a potential second season.

"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" is officially one of Hulu's biggest reality hits. And while we don't know yet if it's getting a season two, it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility.

The reality series follows a group of eight Mormon mothers and content creators who are part of a TikTok collective known as "MomTok." In May 2022, one of the moms, Taylor Frankie Paul, said that she and her husband, Tate Paul, were divorcing after she slept with another person in their "soft swinging" circle without her husband's knowledge.

The controversy thrust MomTok into the spotlight — and eventually, it led to a television series.

In addition to Paul, the series also stars fellow MomTok members Whitney Leavitt, Layla Taylor, Demi Engemann, Jessi Ngatikaura, Jen Affleck, Mikayla Matthews, and Mayci Neeley. And according to Hulu, the show was the streamer's most-watched unscripted premiere of 2024, The Wrap reported.

The show ends with a few cliffhangers, leaving plenty of space for the drama to continue. Here's what we know about a potential season two.

Who will return for 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' season 2?

Right now, it's unclear which cast members would return for a second season. However, there are a few whose storylines leave their future on the show in doubt.

By the end of season one, Leavitt's relationship with many of the other cast members was tenuous at best after she left their group chat and didn't attend the launch party for Neeley's brand, Babymama.

Neeley and Leavitt began to reconcile in the finale. But Neeley told Variety that she didn't think "anyone would want [Leavitt] back in MomTok," and said that Leavitt didn't respond when she reached out to her after the show premiered.

Cast member Jen Affleck also ended the season by moving to New York City with her husband, Zac Affleck, putting her thousands of miles away from the other women in Utah. However, Neeley told Variety that she doesn't necessarily think Affleck is leaving the group.

"Time will tell with her leaving MomTok," Neeley said. "I actually haven't had that conversation. I don't think she will — because she loves MomTok, so I can't picture her leaving."

Will there be any new cast members on 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' season 2?

Again, it's unclear at this point. However, there are some couples previously associated with MomTok who did not appear in season one but might join the cast in the future.

Paul previously associated with other Mormon mothers like Camille Munday, Victoria Zalic, and Miranda McWhorter, The Cut reported. Those three and their husbands do not appear on the show and publicly denied being a part of the swinging.

Paul posted a TikTok video in late August, before the show's premiere, referencing people who didn't appear on the series without listing any specific names and claiming that they didn't want to be on the show if she was on it.

"Them: 'We got offered the show and declined,'" the on-screen text overlay reads. "How it went: 'We'll do the show if Taylor isn't on it.'"

@taylorfrankiepaul Thank goodness I have witnesses for this one. I hate to do this, but it’s just not how it went….once again. #momtok ♬ i love birds of a feather - d ⧗

What could happen on 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' season 2?

Dakota Mortensen and Taylor Frankie Paul have been dating for two years.

During the show's first season, Paul and her boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, prepared to welcome their first child, Ever True, while also working on their relationship. In episode six, Neeley shared that she received an anonymous tip on Instagram from a woman who said that she and Mortensen had slept together while he and Paul were in a relationship, which she wasn't aware of.

Neeley believed that person to be a woman Mortensen had previously dated named Jenna. At the end of season one, she calls Jenna — but the show doesn't reveal the outcome.

It seems likely that season two would deal with the implications of that call. As for other storylines? It's unclear right now, but the launch of a new reality show (and dealing with the aftermath of its premiere) certainly provides plenty of fodder.

"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" season one is streaming on Hulu.
