Netflix is moving cameras on The Hunting Wives before the current season even premieres. An updated production listing places the third season’s shoot from December 2, 2026 through April 9, 2027 — a roughly four-month schedule that matches the scale of season 2. The timing matters because season 2 is still a month away — it premieres November 26, 2026 — and Netflix has already locked the next cycle. That is a signal of confidence in a returning drama rather than a wait-and-see renewal.
A slight delay, not a reset
The new dates are about a week later than an earlier listing that suggested a November 30 start and April 1 wrap. Season 3 will again run for eight episodes, and filming will operate under the working banner Love Chuck Productions.
Season 2 shot from mid-November 2025 through March 2026, so the production cadence is holding steady even as the location changes.
Why the show left North Carolina
The first two seasons were filmed in the Charlotte area. Changes to North Carolina’s film incentive program made a return unworkable, and producer Joan Cunningham had said in August that the show would “probably” relocate to Georgia. The new listing confirms it: Great Point Studios in Douglasville, just outside Atlanta, will be home base.
The shift is a reminder that state incentive policy can quietly move a returning series, its crew base and its local spend. Georgia has become a reliable fallback because of its studio infrastructure and production experience.
The release math
Season 2 wrapped in March 2026 and arrives on Netflix on November 26, 2026 — about an eight-month gap between wrap and premiere. Apply the same turnaround to an April 9, 2027 wrap, and season 3 likely lands around December 2027, with an early 2028 push possible. Netflix has not confirmed a date, but the production calendar is the best early signal planners have.
- Showrunner: Rebecca Cutter returns, promising season 3 “will be even more scandalous and twisted.”
- Director: Julie Anne Robinson (Bridgerton, Dead to Me).
- Producers: Erwin Stoff, Jeremy Beim and May Cobb, with Lionsgate Television and 3 Arts Entertainment for Netflix.
- Cast: Not confirmed, but Brittany Snow and Malin Åkerman are expected back as Sophie O’Neill and Margo Banks.
For media planners and entertainment marketers, the takeaway is timing. Season 2 is the near-term campaign; season 3 is a late-2027 planning window, not a 2026 asset. And the Georgia relocation should be noted in any local partnership or production-adjacent strategy.
