Malin Akerman on steamy Brittany Snow 'Hunting Wives' scenes: video
Move over, 'Big Little Lies,' there's a new soapy drama about rich housewives, sex, and murder. Malin Akerman stars in the Netflix show 'The Hunting Wives' (now streaming), which is based on the 2021 novel and follows Sophie (Brittany Snow), who moves with her husband (Evan Jonigkeit) from Massachusetts to Texas. While feeling like a fish out of water, she ends up in a complicated relationship with Margo Banks (Akerman), the wife of her husband's boss, Jed (Dermot Mulroney), who is considering running for the Governor of Texas. Margo is the leader of the local clique of socialites and moms. Advertisement 'I love roles like this. Women who are just big and free and wild,' Akerman, 47, exclusively told The Post. 9 Malin Akerman and Dermot Mulroney in 'The Hunting Wives.'

It was amazing.' Margo and Jed have an open relationship, allowing Margo to have flings with inappropriately younger guys such as high school aged Brad (George Ferrier) and also women like her friend Callie (Jaime Ray Newman). Plus, she sets her sights on Sophie. As Sophie becomes tied into Margot's group of hard-partying friends – fellow moms and housewives who also like to shoot guns – there's also a dash of murder.

I'm not for gratuitous scenes, and I think that this is necessary to Margo's character.' The 'Watchmen' actress noted that the cast had a 'wonderful intimacy coordinator' to collaborate with. 'So before you even get to set, we're rehearsing the scenes. We're talking about what we're comfortable with, what we are not comfortable with so that when we get to set, we're ready to go and we know there are no surprises,' she explained. 'It's very technical. But when it's on your TV screens, hopefully it feels very sexy and exciting.'

For the moments when things heat up between Margo and Sophie, Akerman said the atmosphere behind the scenes was 'playful.' 'Brittany and I get along so well. She's such a lovely human. We would be sitting there kind of giggling like school girls, like, 'Oh my God, this is so crazy. What a job we have!'' 'I'm so glad it was with her, and we felt so comfortable with each other,' the 'Couples Retreat' star added. 'We'd become really good friends – and how lucky that we did end up getting along. Because sometimes you have to do scenes with people you're not as bonded with. So, of course there's some hesitation, but we always felt really well taken care of.' 9 Malin Akerman at An Unforgettable Evening at The Beverly Hilton on April 28, 2025 in Beverly Hills, California.

We knew what we were doing with this intimacy coordinator who had our backs along with everyone else in the crew.' Akerman explained that Margo and Sophie's relationship is 'complicated.' Advertisement 'They need each other in different ways. And I think that they both have an idea of what they think they want in the beginning, but what it ends up becoming is something very different,' she told The Post. 9 Malin Akerman at the Anine Bing Cocktail Party held at Chateau Marmont in LA on May 13, 2025.

Netflix '[Margo likes that Sophie is] smart and she's interesting and very different from the women that she's hanging out with. It's like a shiny toy for her that she wants to play with,' she said. 'She doesn't really know what she's getting herself into, but is always willing to go there and feels confident enough to dive into this relationship. So it starts in one place and then it ends up some place different that any of these women would have guessed.' Advertisement Akerman is also known for her roles in 'Rock of Ages,' 'Watchmen' and 2008's '27 Dresses,' co-starring James Marsden and Katherine Heigl. 'We've had dreams about [a sequel],' she said of the romantic comedy. 'We've all dreamt big, but I still haven't any rumors about that. I would love that. '28 Dresses' would be lovely.'

Netflix just added a twist-filled mystery thriller series made for binge-watching — and you can stream the entire season now
'The Hunting Wives' has officially dropped on Netflix U.S. today, but unless you've been following closely, you might not have noticed. Originally developed by Starz, the eight-episode thriller was quietly acquired by Netflix earlier this year, and it's landing on the platform without much fanfare or the usual marketing push. Based on the bestselling novel by May Cobb, the series follows a former PR executive who relocates to East Texas in search of a fresh start. There, she's drawn into the orbit of a group of wealthy, thrill-seeking women. While this mystery thriller hasn't generated much early interest, it seems to offer the kind of twisty, bingeable storytelling that could find its footing in the next few days. I recently wrote about the trailer and how it looks like a compelling watch, and I still think it has strong potential to climb Netflix's top 10 based on its intriguing premise alone. Even though it's not labeled as a Netflix original, there are still plenty of enticing ingredients to make viewers do a double take while scrolling though the service, including a strong cast led by Brittany Snow, Malin Akerman, and Dermot Mulroney, plus the fact that thrillers like this usually go down a treat. Whether it slowly builds momentum or gets buried under bigger releases remains to be seen. But for those curious enough to press play, here's everything to know about 'The Hunting Wives' now that it's streaming. 'The Hunting Wives' centers on Sophie O'Neil (Brittany Snow), a former PR executive from the East Coast. She relocates with her husband and son to a small town in East Texas after a traumatic life event. In Texas, Sophie is drawn into an elite and seductive social circle of affluent women known as the Hunting Wives, led by the magnetic Margo Banks (Malin Åkerman), who is married to Sophie's husband's boss, Jed (Dermot Mulroney). Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. What starts with glamorous afternoons of skeet shooting, cocktails, and branded parties spirals into danger and nears catastrophe when the body of a teenage girl is discovered in the woods. Soon, Sophie is drawn into an intricate network of secrets and betrayal she can't escape. Whether you decide to stream 'The Hunting Wives' largely depends on your taste in mystery thrillers. It isn't especially dark or intense, instead leaning into the glossy, soapy drama of shows like 'Desperate Housewives' and 'Big Little Lies.' In simple words: the series is an easy, entertaining watch that doesn't dive too deep but maintains enough sleek, gossipy energy and twists to keep the story moving. Fans familiar with the novel will likely appreciate seeing how the characters and key moments are brought to life on screen. Plus, Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman bring plenty of charm, and their chemistry injects a healthy dose of chaotic humor that's worth the price of admission alone. Reviews for this mystery thriller have started going live, and so far they seem pretty positive. Ashley Hurst from What's on Netflix said: 'The Hunting Wives deserves a lot of praise for being so utterly uncompromising in its goal. It sets out to be a raunchy, juicy, and binge-worthy drama, and it achieves this with ease. There's no holding back.' Meanwhile, Pasta Magazine's Lacy Baugher stated it's 'unabashedly entertaining, a fast-paced televisual equivalent of a beach read that may well end up being just as ephemeral by the time the final credits roll. But the ride is sure going to be fun.' Alison Herman, however, wasn't so pleased with the show's ending and overall pacing. In her Variety review, she said: 'Once there's a corpse to investigate, however, The Hunting Wives grows less distinctive in its social commentary and more caught up in the race to the finish.' She then added: 'Twist after twist keeps the story constantly in motion, at the expense of both texture and basic coherence, until the season ends on an oddly open note — less hanging over a cliff than trailing off into the ether.' Overall, 'The Hunting Wives' probably won't be remembered as the most thoughtful or uplifting series of the summer. It's pure drama centered on a tight-knit group of women who cross dangerous moral lines to protect their reputations. If you're looking for something deeper or a neatly wrapped conclusion, this might not be it, but it's still a compelling guilty pleasure that delivers on soapy thrills. Rebecca Cutter actually shaped the vision and tone of the series, much like her work on 'Hightown,' which also infuses crime drama with a focus on characters grappling with personal struggles and consequences. With eight episodes around 50 minutes each, it makes for a manageable summer binge packed with enough mystery and drama to hold your attention (long enough to overlook any glaring flaws).

Reese Witherspoon's nickname for her financier boyfriend is so Reese Witherspoon
Even when Reese Witherspoon isn't literally on a yacht, she is metaphorically in the presence of an implied yacht at all times. Whether it's her signature old-money-blonde hair or her tendency to play compelling characters who say cutting things while holding a Birkin bag, Reese seems most at home in the polished world of the mega-rich. As a result, when she is literally on a multi-million pound luxury boat – smooching a private equity titan, no less – it just looks so, so right. The Big Little Lies actress and her boyfriend, German financier Oliver Haarmann (net-worth estimated at around half a billion dollars), looked like cast members of one of Netflix's many summer series about the ultra-wealthy (Sirens, The Perfect Couple, or We Were Liars, just to name a few) during their getaway to Saint-Tropez on Saturday. The actress definitely seems like the type to hand out slightly cringey pet names to her loved ones while sipping an overpriced cosmo – a suspicion confirmed by a source who revealed she affectionately calls Haarmann 'her little genius.' The couple, who went public with their romance a year ago, were seen sharing a steamy kiss before frolicking in the waves with the carefree energy of people who haven't glanced at a supermarket price tag in decades – assuming, of course, they even remember what the inside of a supermarket looks like. The 49-year-old Oscar winner and her 57-year-old beau packed on the PDA, embracing throughout the day. At one point, Haarmann affectionately wrapped his arms around Witherspoon and kissed her on her little blonde head. Witherspoon stunned in a simple white swimsuit as Haarmann put the fox in silver fox in a pair of colourful swim shorts. An insider told DailyMail, 'Reese has a close bond with Oliver because this is the first man she has been with who actually guides her, teaches her, mentors her.' 'He is a very accomplished private equity financier and has given her solid financial advice over her brands like Draper James and Hello Sunshine. She calls him her 'little genius' and loves that he has an MBA from Harvard,' the insider continued. 'It's also nice that he already has kids with his ex, so there is no pressure with shared kids. All they do is have fun when they are not working and that is refreshing to her. 'In her last two marriages she was always the leader, now Oliver is the leader. He pushes her to be more, and she loves that he makes plans for them, even small things like where they go to dinner. 'She has already introduced Oliver to most of her friends and he has definitely been welcomed into her world. Everyone thinks she is madly in love.' Oddly condescending commentary aside, it's undeniable that Reese appears smitten, and there's something very Reese about her nickname for her big business man lover. And if she's into her man making their dinner reservations and reviewing her investment portfolio? Fine, who can blame her? Haarmann has two sons from his marriage to businesswoman Mala Gaonkar, 55, who is now in a relationship with The Talking Heads musician David Byrne, 73. Ah, to be the kind of rich where you can once again begin dating actors and musicians – good for Mala and Oliver. Haarmann first made his name in the world of investing as a founding partner of Searchlight Capital Partners, a private equity investment firm. He then went on to become a senior partner of the global investment firm KKR & Co. More Trending Reese and her ex-husband Jim Toth, 54, announced their separation in 2023 after nearly 12 years of marriage. Just a week later, the actress officially filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences in court documents. Reese and Jim later reached a divorce settlement and agreed to co-parent their 12-year-old son, Tennessee. Reese also shares two children – Deacon, 21, and Ava, 25 – with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, 50. Tax the rich and get the tech billionaires out of government positions, certainly, but the full spectrum of political views must make space for Reece Witherspoon's god-given right to lounge on a yacht.
