Netflix has already begun planning the next chapter in Maple Brook. Before Season 2 even drops on November 26, The Hunting Wives has been renewed for Season 3 — an early pickup that signals confidence in a show that’s already become one of Netflix’s most talked-about originals. The series, starring Brittany Snow and Malin Åkerman as two women entangled in secrets, seduction, and murder, is now officially locked in for another eight episodes. No cast details yet, no release window, but the word from creator Rebecca Cutter is clear: buckle up. 'Season 3 will be even more scandalous and twisted,' she said, echoing a promise that’s already got fans speculating about who survives Season 2. That’s not just hype, it’s a direct callback to Snow’s earlier tease about a major death. The show’s journey hasn’t been straightforward. Originally developed for Starz, it was acquired by Netflix just before Lionsgate’s split from the network. That pivot turned a U.S.-only launch into a global hit. Season 1, released in July 2025, spent five weeks in Netflix’s Global Top 10 English-language TV list, peaked at No. 2, and racked up over 35 million views. After Netflix bought back international rights from prior distributors, it became available in 40 countries. Reaching No. 1 in ten, including the US. Now, with Season 2 confirmed and Season 3 greenlit ahead of time, the series is moving fast. It’s a rare move for a drama that doesn’t rely on massive VFX or complex sets. But then again, The Hunting Wives isn’t about spectacle. It’s about power plays, hidden motives, and the kind of slow-burn tension that thrives on repetition and escalation. And if the first two seasons are any indication, Maple Brook won’t stay quiet for long. The real question now isn’t whether the show will return, it’s how soon. Season 3 could arrive within a year, possibly by late 2027. Until then, the hunt continues.
