If you’re looking for something to pass the time during that strange period between Christmas and New Year’s, then ITVX has got you covered. Brittany Snow<\/a>‘s “raunchy” drama The Hunting Wives will be arriving on the streaming service<\/a> on 27 December – giving you another reason to stay snuggled up on the sofa as you recover from the Boxing Day sales. <\/p>\n

The series follows Sophie O’Neil, a wife and mother whose idyllic life in Boston was turned upside down following a traumatic incident. Eager for a fresh start, her husband Graham moves their family to East Texas, but Sophie’s “spiralling anxiety” makes it difficult for her to settle in.<\/p>\n

Things begin to change when Sophie strikes up a friendship Margo Banks, the mysterious and magnetic wife of Graham’s boss Jed. <\/p>\n

What to Read Next<\/p>\n

“Sophie soon finds herself enmeshed with Margo and thrust into the extravagant lives of her exclusive inner circle of privileged, affluent girlfriends, known as the Hunting Wives,” reads the synopsis.<\/p>\n

“Both tantalising forces unlock Sophie’s deepest desires and forgotten needs. But when a local young woman is murdered, sending shock waves throughout their small community, Sophie, Margo, and the Hunting Wives find themselves entangled in the mystery.<\/p>\n

“As they try to protect their own, the group starts to question what they think they see, and nothing prepares Sophie for what is about to happen next.”<\/p>\n

The series features Pitch Perfect<\/a>‘s Snow in the lead role, opposite X-Men actor Evan Jonigkeit (Graham). They are joined by 27 Dresses star Malin \u00c5kerman (Margo) and Dermot Mulroney (Jed), known for his roles in Friends, Shameless US, Chicago Fire<\/a> and New Girl. <\/p>\n

The Hunting Wives debuted its first season earlier this year and currently boasts a 76% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> from 25 reviews. <\/p>\n

NPR<\/a> described the show as “silly”, “raunchy” and “high drama”, adding: “But if it’s up your alley, you might find it a pretty well-executed bit of summer entertainment.”<\/p>\n

“The characters are types, but the actors fill them out well, and the dynamic between Margo and Sophie really is \u2026 dynamic,” wrote Los Angeles Times<\/a>, while The Daily Beast<\/a> called it: “An eminently watchable beach read-y affair that makes up for its lack of originality with bold, brash red-state attitude.”<\/p>\n

The Hunting Wives will stream on ITVX on 27 December. <\/p>\n
