The Hunting Wives was originally set to air on Starz, but Netflix later secured the rights to the project. "I have to admit, when I found out that it got sold to Netflix, there was a definite feeling of excitement and gratitude, coupled with an insane amount of nausea," Brittany Snow told
TheWrap. "I was aware that even more people were going to see this and hopefully love it, but also judge it."

The Hunting Wives is based on May Cobb's book of the same name. It follows Sophie and her husband, Graham, as they build a new life in Texas. But the couple is forced to navigate scandal, open marriages and a potential murder mystery that make their transition rockier than expected. "We want it to be noisy. We want it to be disruptive," Brittany Snow said. "We did not shy away from anything, as people will see. And so it's really just up to us to own it and feel proud of it, which I think we all really, really do."

Brittany Snow's Sophie hears the wives of her new community criticize immigration, reproductive services and more but manages to hold her own while being the new girl in town. "She definitely has opinions, especially at the beginning of the story, but she's not judgmental, and she's more curious," Snow said of Sophie. "It would be a totally different show if she was completely closed off and judgmental about these women — and about the culture and about the religion and the guns — but she's actually more willing to explore it because she's coming from such a low place in her life."

Brittany Snow noted that her intimate shots for the show were a powerful experience as an actress. "The s** scenes are brave for me, because as a woman, I needed to explore my own s***** autonomy and being proud of my body, and I think that Sophie is as well," she said. "I'm really proud that I've gotten to the place in my life where I'm able to do these types of scenes and explore these things."
