SNL Parodies Netflix's 'The Hunting Wives' With Amy Poehler and Aubrey Plaza

The spoof follows Netflix’s recent Season 2 order, underscoring the show’s growing cultural reach.

Overview

  • A taped sketch on the October 12 episode featured host Amy Poehler leading a fake Season 2 trailer with Chloe Fineman and guest Aubrey Plaza.
  • The narrator framed the series as a "straight but lesbian, horny Republican murder drama," echoing online discourse around the show.
  • Gags highlighted the show’s tone with flirtatious scenes, jokes about "wigs that are doing their best," and multiple characters drawing guns.
  • Plaza played a newcomer welcomed by the group until she is revealed to be a lesbian, which leads the women to pull rifles in the punchline.
  • Netflix announced in September that The Hunting Wives will return for Season 2, with creator Rebecca Cutter celebrating the renewal in a statement.
