THE HUNTING WIVES: Katie Lowes, Chrissy Metz, Jaime Ray Newman, and More Join New Starz Drama

Chrissy Metz, Jaime Ray Newman, Katie Lowes, and George Ferrier have joined the cast of THE HUNTING WIVES as series regulars, Starz announced. They join the previously announced cast of Malin Åkerman, Brittany Snow, Dermot Mulroney, and Evan Jonigkeit.

The series is based on the novel by May Cobb, “which tells the story of Sophie and her family’s move from the East Coast to deep East Texas, where she succumbs to socialite Margo Bank’s irresistible charms – and finds her life consumed by obsession, seduction, and murder.”

Metz will play “Starr, who is the mother of Abby, a proud working-class woman and staunch Christian. Although she’s active at church and her daughter dates the star point guard Brad, she is not welcomed in the high-society world of the Hunting Wives. As a result, she will clash fiercely with Brad’s mother Jill.”

Newman will play “Callie, who is married to the powerful Sheriff Jonny, and a powerhouse in her own right. She’s an amazing marksman, and she’s the second in command of the Hunting Wives (right below Margo). But she is also deeply in love with Margo and jealous of Sophie’s newfound influence.”

Lowes will play “Jill, the wife of Reverend Clint, and the queen of the mega church. But she’s trapped in a loveless marriage, and as a result, she is overly invested in her son Brad’s life. And as we will soon find out, she will do anything to protect him.”

Ferrier will play “Brad. On the outside Brad is the perfect All-Texan boy – rich, handsome, and athletic with a bright future. But behind closed doors, Brad is the keeper of many secrets – including an emotionally incestuous relationship with his mother Jill, and an affair with one of his mother’s best friends.”

Rebecca Cutter will serve as showrunner.
