Overview
- Hulu has ordered 20 new episodes for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and industry reports say cameras are already rolling on the renewal for what will likely be seasons six and seven.
- Season five was paused in March after a widely circulated domestic-violence incident involving Taylor Frankie Paul and resumed filming in April, but will be shortened to about five episodes and is expected to air later this year.
- Salt Lake County prosecutors declined to file charges in the investigation into the incident, a decision reported by multiple outlets that leaves legal exposure reduced but cast tensions unresolved.
- Cast participation for the new episodes remains unclear: Layla Taylor confirmed she is filming for future seasons, Taylor Frankie Paul’s status is still uncertain, and Whitney Leavitt has said she will exit after season five.
- The renewal follows the show's role in the larger MomTok influencer phenomenon, a commercial force that likely motivated Hulu’s back-to-back order and could shape how future seasons are produced and marketed.
