If you’re anything like me, you probably spent a good chunk of 2024 falling down the absolute rabbit hole that is Utah #MomTok. It was messy. It was confusing. It was oddly fascinating. Then the Hulu show dropped and suddenly we weren't just watching 15-second dances; we were watching lives unravel in 4K. Naturally, the first thing everyone started screaming into the void of the internet was: when does Mormon Wives season 2 start?
Well, if you’re looking for the release date, I have some news that might make you feel like you’ve been living under a rock—or maybe you just missed the chaotic rollout.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2 actually premiered on May 15, 2025. I know, I know. Time is a flat circle and the way Hulu drops these episodes can be a total blur. They didn't just stop at season 2, either. Because the show basically broke the internet and beat out The Kardashians for viewership numbers, Hulu went into overdrive.
The Confusion Around Season 2 and Beyond
There’s a reason you might be confused about the timing. When Hulu originally renewed the show, they didn't just say "here's season 2." They ordered a massive block of 20 episodes.
Fans thought we were getting one giant, endless season.
Instead, the producers split those 20 episodes into two distinct chunks. Season 2 arrived in May 2025 with 10 episodes and a reunion hosted by Nick Viall (because of course it was Nick Viall). Then, almost before we could breathe, Season 3 dropped on November 13, 2025.

So, if you’re currently searching for "season 2" because you’ve finished the first eight episodes from the 2024 launch, you actually have a massive binge-session waiting for you. You aren't waiting for the start date; you're just late to the party.
What Actually Happened in Season 2?
Honestly, season 2 was a fever dream. If season 1 was about the "soft-swinging" fallout, season 2 was about the absolute fracture of the sisterhood.
The big "get" for the season was the return of Miranda McWhorter.
She was the one everyone was whispering about during the first season. Seeing her come back to face Taylor Frankie Paul and the rest of the group was... tense. To put it mildly. While Taylor was trying to navigate her "fresh start," Miranda was there to remind everyone that the past isn't actually past.
We also saw the beginning of the end for some of the marriages we thought were "stable."

- Jen Affleck struggled with the move to Arizona for Zac’s medical school.
- Whitney Leavitt tried (and mostly failed) to wiggle her way back into the good graces of the group.
- Jessi Ngatikaura started showing the cracks that eventually led to her major season 3 storyline involving an emotional affair.
It's a lot. It’s heavy. But it’s also exactly the kind of high-octane drama that makes you feel better about your own quiet life.
Why Everyone is Talking About 2026
So, if season 2 and season 3 are already out, why is the internet still buzzing about start dates?
Because Hulu just did it again.
In late 2025, they greenlit another 20 episodes. This is basically the "Taylor Frankie Paul Era" of reality TV. Since Taylor is currently filming her season of The Bachelorette (set to premiere in March 2026), the production schedule for the Mormon Wives has been shifted slightly to accommodate her becoming the most famous woman in the ABC/Hulu universe.
The "next" season—which some people are calling season 4—is slated to start in early 2026.

Is the Show Scripted or Just "Utah Real"?
There’s a lot of debate about how much of this is manufactured. You’ve seen the TikToks. You’ve seen the comments claiming that "nobody in Utah actually lives like this."
The truth is somewhere in the middle.
The drama between Demi Engemann and Jessi, or the constant flip-flopping of Mayci Neeley’s loyalties, feels very real because these women have been in each other's pockets for years. You can't fake that kind of specific, pointed resentment. However, the "events" they attend? Total production setups.
But does it matter? Not really. We’re here for the blowouts and the cognitive dissonance of high-waisted jeans and heavy religious undertones.
Your Mormon Wives Watch-List for 2026
If you are caught up on season 1 and looking for what's next, here is how you should actually spend your time instead of just waiting for more news:
- Binge Season 2 (10 Episodes): Look for the "Book of Revelations" episode. It’s where everything starts to go off the rails with Miranda’s return.
- Watch the Season 2 Reunion: Nick Viall actually asks the questions we wanted to know, specifically about the Stagecoach rumors.
- Dive into Season 3: This is where the Jessi/Demi drama hits a peak. It’s darker than the previous seasons but feels more "honest" about the pressures of their community.
- Follow Taylor on Social Media: If you want to know what’s coming in the 2026 episodes, her Instagram is basically a spoiler sheet. She’s been spotted filming in Los Angeles and Utah simultaneously.
The world of #MomTok moves faster than traditional TV. By the time you finish season 2, season 4 will probably be knocking on the door.
If you're looking for where to start right now, head to Hulu and look for the "Season 2" tab that went live last May. It’s all there, waiting for you to judge it. Just remember that what you see on screen is usually about six months behind the drama happening on their actual TikTok feeds, so keep your eyes on the "current" social media updates to stay ahead of the curve.
