While Netflix’s “The Hunting Wives” delivers scandal, secrets & steamy twists on screen, the cast’s real-life relationships are just as intriguing. In a few cases, even more surprising.
Based on the novel by May Cobb, the series follows Sophie O’Neil (Brittany Snow) as she’s drawn into the magnetic orbit of Margo Banks (Malin Akerman) and her elite circle in East Texas.
