    Sexy spoilers for The Hunting Wives season one follow.

    Psychosexual, violent mind games between wealthy women never have to end. Just one day after we finally got an update on Big Little Lies season three, Netflix renewed The Hunting Wives for a second season. So if you randomly saw lesbians, gay men, and straight women who love mess coming together for a hug today, that’s probably why. Vulture critic Roxana Hadadi called the first season “bawdy, tawdry, and perfectly ludicrous” so it’s no surprise that it was a wild success for Netflix, garnering over 20 million views in the U.S. over five weeks, per the streamer.

    Below, the returning cast members and what we know about the next season of The Hunting Wives.

    Based on a book by May Cobb, the drama follows Sophie O’Neil (Brittany Snow), a woman who moves to Maple Brook, Texas, after accidentally committing vehicular homicide and becomes obsessed with a woman named Margo (Malin Akerman) and her group of “Hunting Wives.” Spoiler: The two women end up having an affair. That would be enough for most shows, but on this one, there’s also the mystery of a murdered teenage girl to solve. By the end of the season, multiple characters die, Sophie and Margo’s husbands hate them, and they’re at the center of it all, for better and for worse.

    Creator Rebecca Cutter will be back for the second season. “I’m so excited to write these amazing characters again, and I can’t wait to take the audience on another sexy, twisted, batshit crazy ride through Maple Brook,” she said in a statement. Cutter will be joined by returning cast members Brittany Snow and Akerman, who gave fans something to nibble on in a season-two promo video. “You know I know what you sound like when you’re breathing on the phone,” Margo says when she catches Sophie mid-crash-out.

    Those two leads will get to play with Margo’s former lover (and the one who pegs her husband) Callie, played by Jaime Ray Newman. The returning men are Dermot Mulroney, who plays Margo’s husband, Jed, who is running for governor of Texas; Sophie’s husband, Graham, played by Evan Jonigkeit; and local teenage boy Brad, played by George Ferrier. Which of these six will make it out of season two alive?

    Netflix waited three years to put out a second season of Wednesday. We wouldn’t start hunting it down just yet.
