In the mood for a mystery thriller that’s just the right amount of unhinged? The Hunting Wives might scratch that itch. Based on the 2021 bestselling novel of the same name by May Cobb, the series follows Sophie (Brittany Snow) as she moves with her family to Maple Brook, Texas, and becomes enraptured by an alluring Southern socialite.

When the series landed on Snow’s desk, she told People that she “read the scripts of all eight episodes within a couple hours. I was completely hooked. I was desperate to find out what was going to happen.”

All eight episodes are now streaming on Netflix. Ahead, get to know the main cast—and see where you might already recognize them from.
