Overview

• Saturday Night Live aired a pre-taped fake Season 2 trailer for The Hunting Wives that labeled the series a “straight but lesbian, horny Republican murder drama.”
• Host Amy Poehler played a version of Margo in a send-up of the show’s raunchy style, with on-screen blurring used for a risqué gag and a narrator promising that “thighs will be squeezed” and “guns will be drawn.”
• Aubrey Plaza made an unannounced appearance as a newcomer from California, and the wives dramatically drew rifles after she revealed she has a girlfriend.
• The sketch lampooned the show’s signature tropes, including shifting wigs, sensual “lessons,” and jokey pull quotes like a People-style line comparing it to Call Me by Your Name for Bass Pro Shop shoppers.
• Cast members Malin Åkerman, Brittany Snow, Katie Lowes, and Jaime Ray Newman celebrated the spoof on social media, as author May Cobb shared it, while Netflix’s September renewal for Season 2 stands with no premiere date announced and no casting tied to the cameo.
