‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Star Lola Tung Teases “Bittersweet” Final Season (Exclusive)
BookTok, it’s time to press play.
Indeed, May Cobb’s best-selling novel The Hunting Wives has come to life on screen—and this Texas murder mystery is a sight to behold.
Over the course of eight episodes, the Netflix series follows protagonist Sophie O’Neil (Brittany Snow) as she navigates her new life in the small town of Maple Brook after moving from Boston for her husband’s job. But when she comes face to face with Margo Banks (Malin Akerman), the leader of an elite social circle, she becomes obsessed with fitting into their high-society mold.
“I was so enamored with Beth Dutton from Yellowstone and just thought, ‘Wow, what a character, and what a fierce character to play,’” Malin told Variety earlier this month. “And then this came along and I went, ‘Yep, this’ll work. I can do this one.’ This is a bit more soapy, but just so much fun to play.”
