Hulu releases season 5 trailer for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
Hulu has released the official trailer for the fifth season of the reality series ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’, scheduled to premiere on September 10. This season will consist of five episodes, a reduction from the typical ten-episode format, following a production hiatus caused by controversy surrounding cast member Taylor Frankie Paul.
The trailer addresses recent personal and professional turmoil, including the cancellation of Paul’s season of ‘The Bachelorette’ by ABC following the release of a video depicting a 2023 domestic violence incident involving her ex-partner, Dakota Mortensen. While authorities confirmed Paul would not face criminal charges for the February incident, the show explores the fallout of these events and the resulting impact on the #MomTok community.
Other storylines in the upcoming season include Whitney Leavitt’s Broadway debut in New York City and her final season on the series, as well as tensions between cast members Jen Affleck and Leavitt. Despite the shortened season, the series has already been renewed for seasons 6 and 7.
