The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives usweekly is set to expand with its inaugural spinoff.
On Wednesday, April 22, Hulu announced the upcoming release of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, scheduled for later this year.
The official synopsis states, “A fresh group of dynamic young mothers in Orange County navigate a community where beliefs are more than just religion; they are part of their identity. While some advocate for their traditional way of life against modernity, others welcome change, becoming a voice to challenge the status quo.”
It further elaborates, “Secrets and scandals will emerge, facades will shatter, and family and friendships will be transformed on both sides of the divide as this group of influential, transformative mothers strive to create their own version of #MomTok. This is The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County.”
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County will feature Aspyn Ovard, Bobbi Althoff, Avery Woods, Salomé Andrea, McCall DaPron, Chandler Higginson, Ashleigh Pease, and Madison Bontempo.
Viewers were first introduced to the Mormon Wives franchise with the debut of the original show on Hulu in 2024. The cast included Jen Affleck and her husband Zac Affleck, Demi Engemann and husband Bret Engemann, Whitney Leavitt with husband Conner Leavitt, Mikayla Matthews and husband Jace Terry, Mayci Neeley along with husband Jacob Neeley, Jessi Draper and Jordan Ngatikaura, and Taylor Frankie Paul with then-partner Dakota Mortensen, alongside Layla Taylor.
Miranda McWhorter joined the cast in season 2 following her separation from Chase McWhorter.
After completing four seasons and orchestrating multiple crossovers with Vanderpump Villa, production was suspended in March due to an alleged domestic violence situation involving Taylor, 31, and Dakota, 33, that occurred in February. Both filed temporary restraining orders against one another, resulting in Dakota receiving temporary custody of their 2-year-old son, Ever. Taylor was allowed supervised visits until the next court date.
The Bachelorette also canceled Taylor’s season of the ABC reality dating series just days before its debut. Authorities have confirmed that Taylor will not face any criminal charges related to the February incident with Dakota.
“After examining reports and evidence submitted to the Draper and West Jordan Police Departments, the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office has opted not to file charges against Taylor Frankie Paul,” the office of District Attorney Sim Gill stated to Us earlier this month.
Us has confirmed that production will resume. Taylor has suggested a return, but it remains uncertain if she will reunite with her co-stars on-screen.
