The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2 is set to premiere on May 15. The hit Hulu reality series follows a group of Mormon influencers who call themselves “MomTok” through secrets and scandals. Now, fans are eagerly awaiting what shocking reveals might come in Season 2.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2
Hulu’s official site promises that in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2, “Your favorite Mormon mom influencers are returning to Hulu for even more drama and dancing.” It gives the viewers a teaser of what has been going on since the end of Season 1:
“So much has happened since the first season ended–Whitney had her baby and claimed to be leaving MomTok (again), Taylor and Dakota are on thin ice despite welcoming their son into the world, Jen contemplates a huge move across the country to support her husband Zac through medical school, and the future of TikTok becomes uncertain.”
The site also states that, “Through all the drama, one constant question remains: Will MomTok survive this?”
Hype for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
The trailer for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2 shows the members of MomTok discussing how MomTok has become a bigger sensation than any of them thought possible, then it cuts through talk of lies, marriage difficulties, and even a visit from the police. The words “Lead us not into temptation” flash on the screen with “not” crossed out, showing how Mormons may not always be as pious as stereotypes might have people believe. One of the appeals of the show is that it lets the viewer know the Mormon mothers are flawed people, not mere representations of a group.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and Controversy
The show has still generated controversy from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some Mormons accuse the show of an inaccurate portrayal of the faith, especially regarding the spouse-swapping, or “soft-swinging,” scandal that kicks off the show. Some claim that the show fuels stereotypes about Mormons not valuing fidelity, and others believe that the show only uses the Mormon faith to provoke sensationalism.
Conclusion
Regardless of the controversy, fans are eager for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2 and all the drama that will unfold. Even with the sensationalism and scandal, the show lets viewers see members of an often-misunderstood faith as people, and people don’t fit into neat little boxes of doctrines.
