Another one of TVLine's 'missing' shows has been found.

As explained by Deadline, the move stems from Starz's split from Hunting Wives acquirer Lionsgate Television, which took effect last month.
Described as a twisty thriller, The Hunting Wives tells the story of Sophie O'Neil (played by American Dreams' Brittany Snow) and her family's move from the East Coast to deep East Texas, where she succumbs to socialite Margo Banks' (Trophy Wife's Malin Akerman) irresistible charms — and in turn finds her life consumed by obsession, seduction, and murrrrderrrr.
The cast also includes Chrissy Metz, in her first post-This Is Us TV role, as Starr, a working-class woman and staunch Christian who is not welcomed in the high-society world of the Hunting Wives; Katie Lowes (Scandal) as Jill, wife of Reverend Clint and 'queen' of the local megachurch; Jaime Ray Newman (Eastwick) as Callie, a sheriff's wife and amazing marksman who is the 'second in command' of the Hunting Wives; and George Ferrier (One of Us Is Lying) as Brad, a perfect All-Texan boy who behind closed doors has an emotionally incestuous relationship with his mother.
Dermot Mulroney (Chicago Fire) and Evan Jonigkeit (Sweetbitter) round out the cast, while Karen Rodriguez (Acapulco), Michael Aaron Milligan (Ruthless) and Hunter Emery (Hightown) fill recurring roles.
Filming on The Hunting Wives began in spring 2024 and wrapped last year.
