Hulu has made it official that its new unscripted series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is coming to the streaming platform in September. Produced by Jeff Jenkins, the series explores the involvement of a group of Mormon influencer mothers in a swinging sex scandal that has garnered international attention.
The scandal shook the foundation of their friendship and sisterhood, putting to question whether they could survive this turmoil or if they would fall from grace. Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives explores in detail whether the #MonTok made famous by the group survives the ordeal or withers away, smothered under the scandal.
