SNL’s ‘Hunting Wives’ Parody Lands Big With Aubrey Plaza Cameo and Cast Applause

Cast praise alongside a Netflix post turned the send-up into free promotion ahead of the confirmed second season.

Overview

  • The Oct. 11 Saturday Night Live episode aired a pre-taped mock trailer riffing on Netflix’s hit The Hunting Wives, hosted by Amy Poehler.
  • Amy Poehler spoofed Malin Åkerman’s Margo and Chloe Fineman played Brittany Snow’s Sophie as the narrator promised “thighs will be squeezed” and “guns will be drawn.”
  • Aubrey Plaza appeared as a surprise “new new girl” in the sketch, prompting a comedic turn when the wives react after she mentions having a girlfriend.
  • Series stars including Malin Åkerman, Katie Lowes, Jaime Ray Newman and Brittany Snow shared enthusiastic reactions on social media, with Åkerman calling it “the best thing I’ve ever seen.”
  • Netflix amplified the moment by posting a screenshot on X with the caption “seated,” as the show heads into a previously announced Season 2 with no premiere date yet.
