Hulu’s hit reality show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is returning for a third season, and if the teaser is any indication, the drama is far from over.

The series, centered around the lives of Utah-based “MomTok” influencers, gained national attention in 2022 following a viral “soft swinging” controversy. Now, after a twist-filled season 2 finale and a revealing reunion episode, the next chapter promises even more tension, betrayals, and bombshells, including lie detector tests and fractured friendships.

Season 3 Confirmed, With Episodes Already Filmed

In October 2024, Hulu renewed The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives for 20 episodes following strong viewership from season 1. The first 10 made up season 2, and the remaining 10 will comprise season 3. Entertainment Weekly has confirmed that filming has wrapped.

Though an official release date has yet to be announced, the season 2 reunion gave fans an exclusive first look at what’s to come, and it’s raising eyebrows.

The Cheating Allegations That Rocked Season 2

Season 2 centered around suspicions that cast member Demi Engemann had cheated on her husband, Bret, while filming Vanderpump Villa in Italy. That rumor took a sharp turn in the finale when Marciano Brunette, a castmate on Vanderpump Villa, alleged he actually had an affair with another Mormon Wives star: Jessi Ngatikaura.

“It was not just a one-time hook-up thing,” Marciano claimed, suggesting an ongoing relationship after returning to the U.S.

Demi swiftly denied any romantic involvement with Marciano, telling Us Weekly, “Nothing happened with Marciano. At the expense of sounding rude, there wasn’t even a remote attraction to him.”

Jessi, meanwhile, stayed quiet at the reunion, only stating, “A lot of this story is unpacked in season 3, so I can’t talk about it yet.” She added that she and her husband, Jordan, are working through some “hard things.”

Who Is Marciano Brunette?

Marciano Brunette is a DJ and television personality best known for his appearances on seasons 1 and 2 of Vanderpump Villa. He struck up a flirtation with Demi during the group’s visit to Italy, prompting commentary from other cast members who described Demi’s behavior as “extra flirty.”

Since the finale aired, Marciano has made several social media posts referencing his interactions with Demi and Jessi, suggesting more revelations are on the horizon.

What to Expect in Season 3

The teaser, available exclusively at the end of the reunion episode, promises a season centered on the fallout from the alleged affair. In one scene, Jessi confronts Marciano, asking why he lied about their relationship. His cryptic response? “I was being influenced.” The clip then cuts to both undergoing lie detector tests.

But that’s just the beginning. The teaser shows Demi further isolating herself from the MomTok crew as tensions flare between her and former best friend Jessi. Viewers also learn that Demi had previously attempted to get Jessi removed from the series between seasons.

Other alliances shift as Whitney expresses plans to launch her own MomTok group, while Miranda McWhorter faces backlash for staying loyal to Demi. Meanwhile, Layla appears to be experiencing a personal crisis of faith, and Taylor Frankie Paul continues to navigate a complex co-parenting dynamic with ex-partner Dakota Mortensen.

Fan Reactions to Season 2 and the Season 3 Teaser

Viewers took to social media in droves after the season 2 finale and reunion aired, reacting to the tangled web of allegations and unfinished storylines. They also had no problem calling out those who they felt were not being the greatest towards others.

One user wrote on X, “Watching this reunion is so funny because all you have to do is hear whitney go from a perpetual victim into blame-shifting when everyone starts calling her out to know she’s literally a narcissist and that mikayla is right as hell about her.” Another added, “I NEED SEASON 3 OF SECRET LIVES OF MORMON WIVES NOWWWWW.”

Many fans also expressed frustration over the reunion not fully resolving key questions, while others applauded the show’s ability to keep viewers guessing. “Every time I think I’ve figured out the drama, Mormon Wives flips the script,” one comment read.

When Will Season 3 Be Released?

There’s no official release date yet, but with filming completed and teasers already circulating, fans likely won’t have to wait long. In the meantime, speculation continues to build around what really happened between Marciano, Jessi, and Demi, and what the rest of the MomTok circle knew all along.
