The best thing about Netflix’s breakout hit The Hunting Wives is that it knows what you want. The trailer for season two promises more of the same. There is more lesbian sex that Texas Christian ladies are not supposed to have. “Let’s wash off all of last night’s sins,” Malin Akerman’s character, Margo, recommends to Brittany Snow’s Sophie while they sit in the tub. “I don’t think we could wash off what we did last night,” Sophie responds, probably referring to both sex and murder. There is more ridiculous drama, like a biker played by Widow’s Bay star Dale Dickey spitting over a fallen body. And there are so many more wigs. It’s wigs on wigs on wigs. Everybody’s face is bedecked with hair that is not their own and in fact looks like is hovering above their head. Dickey’s, in particular, appears to only not be sliding off her because of a headband. God, this show is amazing.

The Hunting Wives season two will have big shoes to fill after the success of the first season, but it seems primed to succeed. Rather than Netflix employing its typical extended break between seasons, the streamer is giving fans season two in quick succession. Those reports about how people don’t watch second seasons of Netflix shows because the breaks are too long might have hit home. The upcoming drama will premiere this Thanksgiving. Why not show Grandma some violent lesbians?
