Drama, scandals, and soft-swinging secrets fuel a viral premiere
The Season 2 premiere of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives pulled in five million views in its first five days on Hulu, according to Disney.
A Frenzied Return for MomTok’s Reigning Drama Queens
It turns out you really can’t skip the intro. Less than a year after The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives first shook up Hulu’s reality lineup, the Season 2 premiere came in hot—with emotional chaos, haunted house field trips, and a sexy, riverside homage to O Brother, Where Art Thou? all in the first episode.
According to Disney, the five-day streaming viewership total represents a bump from Season 1’s debut, though they didn’t offer specific figures. The show’s return confirms one thing: we are living in the MomTok Cinematic Universe now, and the girlies are not holding back.

What Is MomTok Now? A Brand, A Vibe, A Religion
As the premiere quickly reminds us, MomTok is no longer just a hashtag—it’s an identity, a support group, and maybe even a battleground. Between mechanical bull rides, baby showers with tension thicker than Diet Coke syrup, and blunt trauma to the patriarchy, Season 2 wastes no time getting messy.
Episode one sets a clear agenda: MomTok’s mission now includes challenging traditional Mormon norms, addressing generational trauma, and filming it all while wearing coordinating neutrals.

New Faces, Old Beefs, Same Villains
Whitney is still on the outs. Miranda is back in the mix. Dakota is still a menace. The premiere reintroduces us to the familiar chaos of betrayal, group chat exile, and influencer drama that feels more junior high than Salt Lake. There’s a chilling moment where Taylor realizes she might have been the “night girl” while her partner’s side chick got the trampoline park dates and curated texts.
Elsewhere, ketamine-assisted therapy enters the chat, haunted houses get LDS approval, and deli meats are served on fake leaves. The layering of Mormon respectability with Real Housewives-style backstabbing is a formula that clearly continues to resonate.
s2 #SecretLivesofMormonWives starts with these men STILL terrorizing these women. a lot of them feeling like they’ve changed the Mormon church when they’re just victims to it. still can’t tell the girls apart. ketamine sessions are back too btw. pic.twitter.com/g9d0dhChdL

What’s Next for the Mormon Wives?
A quick-cut teaser promises more scandal to come: police visits, public breakdowns, cheese plate confrontations, and what appears to be a season-long question of who’s actually telling the truth about the infamous “soft-swinging” saga. There are also hints of deeper reckonings—about marriage, faith, and the cost of becoming a meme.
