Nobody can escape The phenomenon of “Hunting Wives”even the cast of Saturday Night Live.
During the Oct. 11 episode of the NBC comedy series, hosted by alum Amy Poehler with musical guest “Role Model,” the show poked fun at the hit Netflix drama starring Brittany Snow and Malin Åkerman with a fake trailer.
IN sketch Teasing what might happen in the series' highly anticipated second season, the voiceover began, “Millions of Americans tuned in to the first season of Hunting Wives, the straight-up lesbian, horny Republican murder drama, and now they're back for more.”
Chloe Fineman appears as Snow's character Sophie and reveals that she has been released from prison. Poehler, portraying Åkerman's character Margot in a similar wig, welcomes her with open arms. Cast member Sarah Sherman and lead Ashley Padilla also play characters from the Netflix hit.
The skit featured footage similar to that of Hunting Wives, teasing that the upcoming installment of the show would see “thighs clenched” and “guns drawn.”
“And things get even crazier when a new, new girl joins the group,” the voiceover announces, introducing Aubrey Plaza, as the studio audience erupts into applause. In one scene, Poehler, Fineman, Sherman and Padilla stand side by side and sensually help Plaza pour champagne to make a mimosa.
At the end of the sketch, a voiceover advises: “Huntress Season 2.” Don't watch it on the plane.”
Fans took to YouTube comments to point out how “SNL” managed to capture the tone of “Hunting Wives.”
“This is LITERALLY a show,” one said.
Another wrote: “Whoever wrote this sketch deserves a promotion.”
A third said: “Leave it to Poehler to bring back the 'old SNL' vibe with a great mix of pop culture parodies and original sketches.”
Netflix reacts to 'SNL' trailer streamer's official X-account I'm posting a screenshot of Plaza, Poehler, Fineman, Sherman and Padilla. The account said: “sitting.”
Shortly after it hit Netflix on July 21, The Hunting Wives, based on May Cobb's novel of the same name, became a major success. The erotic drama centers on the relationship between Sophie, who moves from Boston to East Texas with her architect husband, and a group of wealthy Southern housewives known as the Huntwives.
The leader of the group is Margot, with whom Sophie becomes close before their friendship develops into romance. Meanwhile, the social circle is also grappling with the murder of a local teenager.
Åkerman and Snow confirmed this in video on social networks On September 12 he wrote that there will be a show returning for a second season. The funny clip ended with Åkerman—wearing a wig that Margot would probably approve of—announcing in her best Texas drawl, “Pack your boots and load your guns. We're coming back to Maple Brook for season two, baby!”
In a statement published on the Netflix website Tudumexecutive producer Rebecca Cutter said of the upcoming season, “I'm so excited to write these amazing characters again. And I can't wait to take viewers on another sexy, kinky, crazy ride through Maple Brook.”
