A whole new group of Mormon Wives is bringing a whole new set of drama to Hulu.
“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County” stars original MomTok member Jen Affleck along with Ashleigh Pease, Aspyn Ovard, Avery Woods, Bobbi Althoff, Jordan McClanahan, Madison Bontempo, McCall DaPron and Salomé Andrea.
In the series, cast member Jen Affleck said she moved to Orange County after becoming friends with two groups of women who have ties to the Mormon church.
And it’s this group of women who helped Affleck navigate her split from husband Zac. She filed for divorce just one week before the show’s premiere.
“Obviously there’s been a lot that’s happened and a lot to navigate and I’m clearly pregnant so it hasn’t been easy but doing the best that I can for, honestly Zac and I, and for the kids,” Affleck told On The Red Carpet. “It’s just been comforting to have, you know, different perspectives and also just knowing some of the women have gone through the exact thing I’ve gone through,” Affleck said.
“I feel like we show up for each other and it was nice to be able to show up for her and honestly for me it was nice to have someone to talk to,” Althoff said.
The season features a myriad of storylines, including the Mormon faith, relationship struggles and a throuple reveal!
“I decided to start sharing my relationship because I was doing the show, like in my own content. I was like, ‘well, we’re doing this TV show,'” said Ovard. “I initially wasn’t gonna share, but everyone has been so accepting.”
Ovard also shared her daughter’s terminal cancer diagnosis on the show.
The group is split between Mormons and those who aren’t active in the church. As you’ll remember, the original series, “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” focused on a group of women in Utah. In the show, the ladies joke they are the “cool Mormons.”
“I honestly don’t even know the huge difference because I never lived in Utah, so I don’t know the Mormon culture fully in Utah compared to California, but I would say we are very cool,” McClanahan said.
“I just try to be a good example, like by the way I live my life, my marriage, like with my kids, just everything,” said DaPron, who is very much involved in the church.
Woods said one of the season’s strengths is the relationships formed among the women.
“I feel like that is the most beautiful part of this season is we all come around and really learn to love each other and form these very like pivotal relationships,” Woods said.
Bontempo said the experience helped her become more comfortable expressing her feelings.
“It was really hard for me to have hard conversations and to say how I feel sometimes. And so I learned how to be better at that by being surrounded by these women,” Bontempo said.
Pease agreed.
“I feel like I can relate to Madison a lot on that, like yeah, I see like past versions of myself in Madison And so even this whole experience from me as well and being surrounded by all of you It’s helped me to kind of find my voice too,” she said.
“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County” premieres November 12 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
