Hulu has released the much-anticipated trailer for Season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which debuted on April 22. The trailer focuses on the intense and complicated relationships between the cast. The series centers on the emotionally charged reunion between Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen as they reunite to plan their son Ever’s birthday celebration. Their much publicized, on-again off-again relationship is back in the news as the pair continues to navigate their romance and responsibility as co-parents.
Have fun preparing for this new season of civic engagement! Old friends will be making a reappearance, such as Demi Engemann, Mikayla Matthews, Mayci Neeley, Jen Affleck, Jessi Ngatikaura, Layla Taylor and Whitney Leavitt. Each of these women come with their stories and struggles that shape the group to create an inclusive community. As conflict escalates, the two women must reckon with their bond and all that it brings.
The trailer gives us a glimpse at personal milestones taking place within our diverse and talented cast. Jen Affleck counting down the days until she and new husband Zac Affleck welcome their third child together. At the same time, Mayci Neeley is pregnant with her third child, and Mikayla Matthews is having her fourth. These changes usher in what is sure to be a holiday season of both merry celebrations and difficult tradeoffs.
As the trailer unfolds, viewers witness Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen tearfully navigating their relationship against the backdrop of parenting. Their emotional exchange serves as the tip of the iceberg for various implicit issues, but these will undoubtedly be addressed in detail later on this season. Their joy at the unexpected reunion at Ever’s birthday party is tempered by a poignant reminder of their continuing battle.
The trailer creates a very emotional moment with Chase McWhorter who is Hope’s ex. He pushes Taylor Frankie Paul, pressing her on why she chose to air her mistakes in public. This confrontation is the latest chapter in a complicated, fiery relationship between the two.
The trailer features a dramatic standoff between Jen Affleck and Zac Affleck that steals the show. They sit on the couch, and with clearly high stakes in the air, Zac asks her for a hug. Jen references a significant incident that occurred during their trip to Italy, stating, “Things went down in Italy at Vanderpump Villa.”
Demi Engemann deepens the drama by mouthing off to police during the cast’s trip to Italy. Her suddenly flirty behavior leads us to question who she actually has a romantic connection with in the house. She boldly asserts her position with the line, “If she comes at me, I will absolutely dominate her,” suggesting that conflicts may arise among the cast.
The first season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives was Hulu’s most-watched unscripted premiere of 2024, indicating strong viewer interest as the series returns. Looking forward to the new season on May 15th! Watch all ten episodes streaming now on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
