When Sophie (Brittany Snow) moves to Maple Brook, Texas with her husband for his new job, she’s uncertain about their unfamiliar surroundings. But after a chance encounter with socialite Margo (Malin Ackerman), Sophie is swept up in the affluent glamour of her new social circle. As her bond with Margo deepens, she’s indoctrinated into the complicated web of friendships, politics, and affairs of her new home. At the same time, Sophie’s own past is haunting her. The first season of The Hunting Wives has sapphic longing, murderous mayhem, and a biting sense of humor. If you’re looking for something just as addictive, we’ve got you covered. Check out all our recommendations below.
Yellowjackets
If the gore of The Hunting Wives didn’t turn your stomach, then hey congrats, you can handle Yellowjackets! The series follows a New Jersey–based high school soccer team on their way to nationals in 196. En route, their plane crashes, and they must learn how to survive in the wilderness. Fast-forward 25 years later, and the adult survivors of the crash are haunted by those they lost long ago — and what actually happened out there in the woods. Two stories emerge: The first follows the teens post-plane crash, the second shows their lives decades after their rescue. The ensemble cast features 90s icons like Juliette Lewis (Natural Born Killers) and Melanie Lynskey (But I’m a Cheerleader), alongside Sophie Thatcher (Companion) and Sophie Nélisse (The Book Thief). Yellowjackets has something for everyone — even cannibalism, if that’s your thing.
Killing Eve
From Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag) comes Killing Eve, starring Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy) as Eve, a British intelligence agent who is simply bored with her life. When she begins investigating a prolific assassin, Villanelle (Jodie Comer), Eve becomes obsessed with cracking the case. But that obsession becomes something more as Eve and Villanelle circle one another in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Oh and Comer won a Golden Globe and an Emmy, respectively, for their work in the four-season series. Rightfully so — the building “are they gonna make out?” tension between Eve and Villanelle is combustible.
Dead to Me
Writer Liz Feldman, who also created the limited series No Good Deed, is behind the dark comedy Dead to Me. The series stars Christina Applegate (Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy) as Jen, an uptight realtor dealing with the hit-and-run death of her husband while raising their two children. She meets Judy (Linda Cardellini) in a grief support group and the two become unlikely friends. But there’s a twist: Judy is the woman behind the accident that killed Jen’s husband. Jen looks for answers to her husband’s mysterious death, which, in turn, begins to unravel Judy’s many secrets. Dead to Me is a comedy about friendship and grief, full of mysteries and, as a bonus, often features Applegate headbanging to metal to deal with her feelings.
Sirens
The summer-set limited series Sirens is a soapy must-watch. Devon (Meghann Fahy) goes looking for her sister, Simone (Milly Alcock), whose absence from their family has become increasingly worrisome. Simone is personal assistant to the billionaire Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore), who raises hawks (yes, the bird) in her spare time. When Devon arrives for a weekend and witnesses their dynamic, she’s determined to extricate Simone from this toxic environment. With no-holds-barred performances from an ensemble that includes Kevin Bacon, Sirens is a Lily Pulitzer–colored confection.
Dare Me
Based on the 2012 novel by crime novelist Megan Abbott, Dare Me is a one-season thrill ride about a competitive cheerleading team in the Midwest. The arrival of new cheer coach Colette French (Willa Fitzgerald) changes the dynamic of the team — and the relationship between best friends Addy (Herizen Guardiola) and Beth (Marlo Kelly). As Addy becomes close with Colette, and gets wrapped up in her messy personal life, Beth grows jealous of their bond. The series is a tightly-wound teen thriller that never hits the brake.
Feel Good
If Sophie and Margo’s relationship in The Hunting Wives piqued your interest, watch Feel Good by comedian Mae Martin (who’s also in the upcoming Netflix thriller Wayward). Martin both wrote and starred in the semi-autobiographical series, playing Mae, a Canadian comedian based in Manchester, England. After a show, they’re approached by a woman named George (Charlotte Ritchie), and the two instantly connect. Mae and George, who’s only dated men, begin dating — but their burgeoning relationship is compromised by their complicated lives: Mae is dealing with their issues as a former drug addict, while George is terrified of coming out to her friends and family.
Interview with the Vampire
If you enjoyed the intensity of The Hunting Wives, scoot on over to Interview with the Vampire, the television adaptation of author Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles. Veteran journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) receives a request from vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) for a tell-all interview about his life. Louis tells Daniel his whole story, including his torrid and violent romantic relationship with the French vampire Lestat (Sam Reid), who turned him into a blood-sucker. All the queer subtext of 1994’s Interview with the Vampire film is front and center in this wild, bloody Gothic series.
