Initially slated to premiere on Starz, the TV adaptation of Might Cobb’s bestselling 2021 novel The Searching Wives has discovered a brand new dwelling—and a launch date—on Netflix. The eight-episode collection will debut Monday, July 21.
The shift from Starz to Netflix follows the latest separation between Starz and Lionsgate Tv, the studio behind the collection. With Lionsgate now working independently, Netflix stepped in to deliver the darkish, seductive thriller to its international viewers.
Within the newly launched first trailer, viewers get a glimpse of Brittany Snow (American Goals) as Sophie O’Neil, a girl whose transfer from the East Coast to the piney woods of East Texas takes a lethal flip. Sophie rapidly falls underneath the affect of Margo Banks, a magnetic and mysterious socialite performed by Malin Akerman (Trophy Spouse). What begins as a tantalizing introduction to an elite circle of glamorous ladies spirals right into a world of obsession, temptation—and homicide.
The collection options a formidable ensemble forged: Katie Lowes (Scandal) stars as Jill, the assertive spouse of a neighborhood megachurch pastor; Jaime Ray Newman (Eastwick) performs Callie, the sheriff’s spouse and Margo’s fiercely loyal second-in-command; and Chrissy Metz (This Is Us) returns to tv as Starr, a blue-collar outsider and religious Christian who by no means fairly matches into the Wives’ polished world.
Rounding out the forged are George Ferrier (Certainly one of Us Is Mendacity) as Brad, a seemingly good Southern golden boy with a disturbing relationship together with his mom; Dermot Mulroney (Chicago Fireplace) and Evan Jonigkeit (Sweetbitter) in key supporting roles; together with Karen Rodriguez (Acapulco), Michael Aaron Milligan (Ruthless), and Hunter Emery (Hightown) in recurring elements.
Described as a sultry, suspense-filled drama with loads of twists, The Searching Wives is poised to be Netflix’s subsequent buzzy summer season hit. Hold a watch out when it drops on July 21—this one guarantees to be lethal addictive.
