The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives usweekly is expanding with its first spinoff.
Hulu announced on Wednesday, April 22, that The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County is coming later this year.
“A new group of dynamic young mothers in Orange County collide in a community where beliefs are not just their religion: they are their identity,” read the official synopsis. “While some defend their way of life, fighting against modernity, others embrace change, becoming a platform to disrupt the status quo.”
The description continued, “Scandals and secrets will be revealed, facades will crumble, and families and friendships will change forever on both sides of the battlefield as this group of strong, game-changing influencers comes together to build their answer to #MomTok. This is The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County.”

After airing four seasons — and hosting several crossovers with Vanderpump Villa — production was halted on the show in March after an alleged domestic violence incident between Taylor, 31, and Dakota, 33, in February. Dakota and Taylor subsequently filed temporary restraining orders against each other, with Dakota earning temporary custody of their 2-year-old son, Ever. Taylor was granted supervised visits until their next court hearing.
The Bachelorette also canceled Taylor’s season of the ABC reality dating series days before its premiere. Authorities have since confirmed that Taylor would not be charged with any crime for the February incident with Dakota.
“After reviewing reports and evidence submitted to the Draper Police Department and West Jordan Police Department, the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office has declined to file charges against Taylor Frankie Paul,” District Attorney Sim Gill’s office said in a statement to Us earlier this month.
Us has since confirmed that production will pick back up. Taylor has hinted at a return but it remains unclear whether she will reunite with her costars on screen.
