As first announced in January, Hulu has officially announced the new unscripted series “The Secret Lives of Mormon Lives,” which will premiere on Friday, September 6. All six episodes of the series will air at once.
The series is helmed by Jeff Jenkins Broad (Bling Empire, My Unorthodox Life), who describes how “the scandalous world of a group of Mormon mom influencers comes crashing down when they are caught up in a global headline-grabbing sex scandal. Now, their sisterhood is deeply shaken. Faith, friendship, and reputations are all on the line. Can #MomTok survive and continue to compete with the rulebook, or will this group fall from grace?”
Rob Mills, executive vice president of alternative entertainment at The Walt Disney Company, first announced the existence of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” in January, during a panel discussion moderated by diverse At the Realscreen conference in New Orleans. Hulu previously aired another Mormon-set show in 2022, “Mormon No More.”
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast members — and their social media handles, of course — include Taylor Frankie Paul (@taylorfrankiepaul), Demi Engemann (@demilucymay_), Jennifer Affleck (@jenniferaffleckk), Jessie Ngatikura (@_justjessiiii), Layla Wessel (@laylaleannetaylor), Maycineeley (@maycineeley), Mikayla Matthews (@mikaylamatthews), and Whitney Leavitt (@whitneyleavitt).
3BMG and Walt Disney Television Alternative are also behind the show with Jeff Jenkins Prods. Jenkins will executive produce with Russell Jay-Staglik, Andrea Metz, Brandon Beck and Eric Monsky at Jeff Jenkins Productions, Ross Weintraub and Reinout Oerlemans at 3BMG, and Danielle Pistotnik, Georgia Berger and Lisa Filipelli at Select Management Group.
Hulu Originals continues to push into unscripted series, having just renewed The Kardashians for an additional 20 episodes. The fifth season of The Kardashians, which premiered on May 23, was the most-watched series this year on Hulu in the U.S. and on Disney+ and Star+ internationally.
