The three actors join returning cast members Brittany Snow, Malin Akerman, Jaime Ray Newman, Dermot Mulroney, Evan Jonigkeit, George Ferrier, Karen Rodriguez, Hunter Emery, and Branton Box in addition to previously-announced Season 2 newcomers Kim Matula and Alex FitzAlan.

The Hunting Wives, which is based on the May Cobb novel of the same name, follows Snow’s Sophie as she and her family move from Boston to Texas. There, she grows close to a socialite and becomes consumed by obsession, seduction, and murder.

The first season, which premiered on Netflix in the U.S. on July 21, amassed more than 20 million views within its first five weeks of release, sitting in the streamer’s global English Top 10 TV list throughout that entire timespan.

In Season 2, Sophie and Margo (Akerman) “are on the outs,” as per the official logline. “But soon enough, old secrets and new foes force them back together. As they play their dangerous games, the question arises: Are they the hunters or the hunted?”

The Hunting Wives first season is streaming now on Netflix.
