The Hunting Wives season 3 finally has a Netflix release window
A filming schedule update hints at when Netflix’s The Hunting Wives is back for Season 3 — and the precise window’s the bit you’re after.
If you've been keeping up with The Hunting Wives on Netflix (and you like your murder mysteries with a strong dose of Texas scandal), here's the break: we've got a rough idea when season 3 could finally land on our screens—plus what to expect from the cast this time round. If you're still not over that last twist in Maple Brook, buckle up, because there might be more slow-burn drama to come.
The Hunting Wives season 3 is likely to start filming in December 2026 and could wrap by April 2027.
What we know about production
The word from What's On Netflix is that filming kicks off 2 December 2026, and the plan is to finish up by 9 April 2027. If they hit those dates, you're realistically looking at a release in December 2027. That said, late-stage delays or slow post-production could easily push the premiere into early 2028—Netflix hasn't put out anything official, so pencil it in rather than grabbing a marker.
If you're analysing their usual timeline: last season wrapped filming in March 2026, went away for some editing magic, and then came out on 26 November 2026. Basically, there's usually about an eight-month gap between shoot and stream. If they stick to that, it lines up. If not, well, it's Netflix, isn't it? Schedules are slippery at the best of times.
Season 3 itself was officially announced in October 2026, but Netflix haven't coughed up much in the way of story details, episode count, or concrete production notes. Either they're playing it close to the chest or there's a game of high-stakes poker going on behind the scenes.
Who's back in Maple Brook?
As you'd expect, Brittany Snow (as Sophie O'Neil) and Malin Akerman (as Margo Banks) are still at the heart of the series. Sophie—you'll recall—ditched Massachusetts for Maple Brook and found herself tangled up in Margo's circle. That friendship turned rivalry, secrets, and all-round dangerous liaisons are still the show's main event.
Dermot Mulroney reprises his role as Jed Banks (Margo's other half), while the returning cast list also includes Jaime Ray Newman, Katie Lowes, Evan Jonigkeit, George Ferrier, Karen Rodriguez, Hunter Emery, and Branton Box. For anyone who jumped in for season 2, those faces were joined by John Stamos, Kim Matula, Alex Fitzalan, Cam Gigandet, and Dale Dickey.
It's all drawn from May Cobb's original novel—a messy blend of obsession, betrayal, and murder set in the privileged microclimate of Texas high society. The series is still in the hands of creator and showrunner Rebecca Cutter, who knows her way round a psychological thriller.
If you're hungry for new episodes, count on seeing The Hunting Wives again somewhere between late 2027 and the start of 2028—assuming nothing goes awry in post-production land.
