Is Coyote Joe’s in Netflix’s ‘The Hunting Wives’ a real place?
MAPLE BROOK, TEXAS, JULY 21 – The series reveals a secretive elite group led by Margo Banks and includes a murder mystery involving 18-year-old Brad, with major unresolved plot threads after Season 1.
- Netflix premiered The Hunting Wives, an eight-part drama based on May Cobb's 2021 novel, on July 21, 2025 in the USA.
- The series follows Sophie O'Neil, played by Brittany Snow, who relocates from Boston to Texas and joins a secretive hunting wives' social circle led by Margo Banks.
- Margo, portrayed by Malin Akerman, engages in a controversial affair with her best friend's 18-year-old son Brad, a plot altered by the show to age him up and avoid legal issues.
- Akerman said the show’s deviations from the book add surprises and that Margo wields her power deliberately, commenting, 'You might change your mind on how you feel about her.'
- The show’s release generated interest for its unflinching exploration of sexuality and political divides, and it is currently streaming to American Netflix subscribers with hopes for a UK release.
