Initially slated to premiere on Starz, the TV adaptation of Could Cobb’s bestselling 2021 novel The Searching Wives has discovered a brand new house—and a launch date—on Netflix. The eight-episode sequence will debut Monday, July 21.
The shift from Starz to Netflix follows the latest separation between Starz and Lionsgate Tv, the studio behind the sequence. With Lionsgate now working independently, Netflix stepped in to carry the darkish, seductive thriller to its international viewers.
Within the newly launched first trailer, viewers get a glimpse of Brittany Snow (American Desires) as Sophie O’Neil, a girl whose transfer from the East Coast to the piney woods of East Texas takes a lethal flip. Sophie shortly 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 sequence 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 suits into the Wives’ polished world.
Rounding out the forged are George Ferrier (Considered one of Us Is Mendacity) as Brad, a seemingly good Southern golden boy with a disturbing relationship along with his mom; Dermot Mulroney (Chicago Hearth) 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 time hit. Preserve an eye fixed out when it drops on July 21—this one guarantees to be lethal addictive.
