The show centers on Sophie O’Neil, a wife and mother trying to rebuild her life after a difficult experience. When her husband, Graham, decides a change of scenery will help, they move to East Texas. However, Sophie struggles to adjust due to increasing anxiety.

So, in this game, you play as Sophie, and she quickly gets pulled into the world of Margo and her friends – these super-rich, exclusive women called the Hunting Wives. It’s all about their crazy, lavish lifestyles, and you’re right in the middle of it.

Sophie is drawn to two compelling people, awakening long-hidden desires. When a young woman in their town is murdered, Sophie, along with Margo and the other Hunting Wives, become involved in solving the case and uncovering the truth.

As the group fiercely defends its members, they begin to doubt their perceptions, and Sophie is completely unprepared for the shocking events that follow.

The show stars Brittany Snow, known for her role in Pitch Perfect, alongside Evan Jonigkeit from X-Men. Malin Åkerman, who appeared in 27 Dresses, and Dermot Mulroney, recognizable from shows like Friends, Shameless, Chicago Fire, and New Girl, also join the cast.

The first season of The Hunting Wives premiered earlier this year and has received a 76% approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 25 reviews.

NPR called the show silly, raunchy, and full of drama, but noted that if that appeals to you, it’s a surprisingly good way to spend a summer evening.

Reviewers noted the characters are somewhat stereotypical, but the actors bring them to life effectively. The connection between Margo and Sophie is particularly engaging. According to The Daily Beast, the show is an enjoyable, lighthearted watch that compensates for its predictable plot with a confident and outspoken perspective.

The Hunting Wives will stream on ITVX on 27 December.

The latest issue of Living Legends is now available! You can purchase Ariana & Witches at newsstands or online for only £8.99.
