In 2022, it was revealed that Taylor and her then-husband participated in “soft swinging,” leading to widespread attention and controversy (one of the reasons the show is as popular as it is today). She has also faced legal issues, including a domestic violence arrest in February 2023.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Episodes
While the first season of Secret Lives only had eight episodes, season 2 will give fans more content to obsess over. The series was actually renewed for 20 additional episodes, but they will most likely be split between seasons 2 and 3.
That being said, fans can expect ten brand new episodes to be released on Hulu Thursday, May 15th.
Anticipated Storylines
Season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives promises even more emotional twists, tense confrontations and jaw-dropping revelations that hooked millions on the series. As the MomTok universe continues to evolve, viewers can expect the friendships, faith journeys and personal lives of these women to be pushed to new limits.
One of the most talked-about developments is the arrival of Miranda McWhorter (now Miranda Hope), a former best friend of Taylor Frankie Paul and an original member of the MomTok circle. Her addition to the cast is expected to stir the pot—not only because of the unresolved fallout between her and Taylor, but also due to her alleged involvement in the infamous 2022 swinging scandal that rocked their social circle.
Taylor Frankie Paul continues her complicated journey of motherhood, mental health recovery and public scrutiny. After the headlines surrounding her 2022 “soft-swinging” scandal and 2023 domestic violence arrest, Season 2 will follow her attempts to rebuild her reputation and stabilize her relationship with boyfriend Dakota Mortensen—with more than a few bumps along the way.
Whitney Leavitt, who distanced herself from the MomTok scene, but does appear to be returning for Season 2, will face personal crossroads as she navigates her marriage with Connor and prepares to welcome her third child. Rumors, misunderstandings and personal boundaries will test her friendships and her resolve.
Meanwhile, Jen Affleck contemplates a life-altering move to support her husband Zac through medical school, a decision that could shift her role in the group—and her sense of identity. Her storyline is expected to reflect the push and pull between traditional expectations and personal aspirations.
Other cast members, including Layla Taylor, Mayci Neeley, and Mikayla Matthews, also grapple with their own defining choices—whether it’s re-entering the dating world post-divorce, undergoing IVF or leaving the Mormon faith altogether. These arcs promise to deepen the show’s emotional core and explore the diversity of modern womanhood within and beyond the church.
From social media scandals to real-life consequences, Season 2 is expected to dive even deeper into the blurred lines that is authenticity, societal expectations and performative perfection.
