\n\tMalin Akerman is just as eager as her newfound fans about a possible season two of The Hunting Wives<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile speaking to reporters at the Creative Arts Emmys Saturday with her co-star Brittany Snow, Akerman admitted that \u201cwe\u2019re asking the same questions\u201d about whether Netflix will bring back their raunchy Texas show. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe feel positive from all the feedback that we\u2019ve had from people,\u201d said Akerman, who is presenting with Snow at the Creative Arts Emmys. \u201cBut nothing to report yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re feeling hopeful,\u201d added Snow. <\/p>\n

\n\tDeadline recently reported that\u00a0Lionsgate<\/a> is in advanced negotiations with Netflix for a Season 2 renewal of the drama. It dropped July 21 as part of a one-year U.S. licensing deal with Lionsgate,\u00a0after launching on Stan in Australia, Crave in Canada, OSN in the Middle East and HOT in Israel.<\/p>\n

\n\tOriginally developed for Starz, The Hunting Wives became a massive hit for Netflix. Launched with little fanfare and with no formal promotional campaign on a Monday, the series turned into a staple on Netflix\u2019s U.S. Top 10 for six weeks running, including a stint at No.1 , and also spent its first five weeks in the Global Top 10 despite not being available outside of the U.S.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe had no idea it was going to hit like this,\u201d Akerman told reporters. \u201cWe originally made it for Starz, and so we thought that it would be for an audience that was geared specifically toward an adult theme. We thought people would see it, but when it got sold to Netflix, we actually freaked out a little bit because we knew that a lot more people would see it. And then to have to many eyes on us doing very adult things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI really like that people are passionate about, whether they love it or hate it,\u201d she continued. \u201cAt least they have an opinion about it. And I welcome that, because it gets people talking, and it\u2019s something to be proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTo get a Season 2 renewal, the series would have to become a Netflix original, which requires global rights. That is the hurdle Lionsgate has to overcome to secure the pickup, with the studio\u2019s distribution team hard at work to secure those rights from current local buyers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Malin Akerman is just as eager as her newfound fans about a possible season two of The Hunting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":48534,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[265],"tags":[18,117,19,17,13521,128],"class_list":{"0":"post-48533","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-the-hunting-wives","13":"tag-tv"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48533"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48533\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
