I was just as shocked as most people were at how into The Hunting Wives on Netflix I was, so when I heard there will be a Season 2 coming, I had to know which actors will be back and who won’t be returning for Season 2 of the hit drama.

Which Actors Are Returning to The Hunting Wives for Season 2?
There are nine actors who have been confirmed to make their return on the show, and five who won’t be back for Season 2.
The five actors who are not returning have valid reasons for not doing so, as we will dive into now.
The first actor not making a comeback in Season 2 of The Hunting Wives is Madison Wolfe, who played Abby, Brad’s girlfriend. She will not be returning for Season 2 because her character was murdered in Season 1.

Next, Chrissy Metz — who was Abby’s mom — will not be returning for Season 2 of The Hunting Wives for similar reasons.

At the end of Season 1, she was killed by Jill after arriving at her house with a gun to confront her, as she believed Jill to be Abby’s murderer. Let’s just say Jill got to her gun first.

Katie Lowes — who starred as Jill, the reverend’s wife and a friend of Margo — will also be absent from Season 2 of The Hunting Wives, as she was also murdered by her best friend in a crazy plot twist.
Paul Teal — who starred in the first season as Pastor Pete, a child predator who ended up killing himself — won’t make a return.
Tragedy struck Teal in real life, as he tragically died at the young age of 35.
TMZ reports that he was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer back in April of 2024. He worked on Season 1 of The Hunting Wives through his treatment, ultimately passing away in November of 2024.

Also not returning to The Hunting Wives for Season 2 is Michael Aaron Milligan, who starred in the first season as Margo’s brother Kyle, who helped her cover up her crimes.
Right at the end of Season 1 he was killed and thrown off of a cliff, but his disappearance is said to be a major plot point for Season 2.
