Their closeness opens a series of deadly secrets, seduction, and murder.

After a day of its release, the show currently holds a 75% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, although it's yet to receive a score from the general audience.How does the first season set up the possibility of The Hunting Wives season 2?The first season of The Hunting Wives ends with some answers to pressing questions, like who really killed Abby Jackson and why. However, the ending was also left open-ended with some cliffhangers and loose ends that need some ironing out, which sets up the storyline for a possible The Hunting Wives season 2.If the second season does get a green light, it could wrap up the loose threads and questions the first season left. For one, there's a question of whether or not Sophie will get pinned for Kyle's murder. While Margo may have some suspicions that Sophie was with Kyle, she doesn't have the proof.Moreover, the first season ends with Kyle still missing. The police are yet to find his dead body, and even then, there's a 50-50 chance that his death will be traced back to Sophie. Kyle's unsavory past makes him a target, as he has made many enemies in the neighborhood. Plus, the police might not even find Kyle's body, which means Sophie will get away with the vehicular homicide.
