Season 1 of The Hunting Wives was just foreplay, y’all. The second chapter, which debuts on Netflix this Nov. 26 — yes, on Thanksgiving — is upping the ante when it comes to no-holds-barred chaos, conspiracies, and — of course — climaxes. Get ready to feast on another spicy season.

Two women lying close together on a bed in an intimate, affectionate moment, with one gently touching the other's face in a cozy indoor setting.

Newly released first-look photos reveal that the temperature is heating up in our beloved Maple Brook, Texas. The passion between Sophie (Brittany Snow) and Margo (Malin Akerman) has grown even more electric. Jed Banks (Dermot Mulroney) is running for governor. And Deputy Salazar (Karen Rodriguez) is hot on the trail of another big case.

Two men in a dimly lit indoor setting, one in a jean jacket with a fur collar looking back, the other with a hat and glasses facing forward, colorful lights blurred in the foreground.

There are also a few new faces in the mix, including:

John Stamos (Palm Royale, You, Big Shot) as Chase Brylan
Dale Dickey (Winter’s Bone, True Blood, Fallout) as Zelda Moffitt
Cam Gigandet (Violent Night, Burlesque) as Gentle John Moffitt
Kim Matula (Saturday Night, LA to Vegas) as Nadia Kelly
Alex FitzAlan (The Wilds, Chevalier) as Lincoln Trout

Two women in dark clothing stand outdoors in a wooded area; one is teaching or assisting the other in aiming a handgun. A pickup truck bed is visible behind them, and the background features blurred trees in daylight.

The sneak peek pictures offer up more questions than answers. Why is Callie (Jaime Ray Newman) cozying up so closely to new character Nadia? Why is John Stamos rocking country chic getup? What is going on at the sheriff’s office that has Salazar so concerned? We also spot a worried Sophie standing by her car, which is the very same vehicle that she made, um, a big impact with at the end of the prior season. Also, Graham (Evan Jonigkeit) has grown a mustache. Clearly, all is not right in Maple Brook.

Two women in elegant dresses stand facing each other in a warmly lit, ornate bathroom with floral wallpaper, gold-framed mirrors, wall lamps, and a vase of flowers on the counter, their reflections visible in the mirrors.

For those catching up, The Hunting Wives follows Sophie, an East Coast transplant in deep East Texas. After succumbing to the charms of socialite Margo, her life is soon consumed by obsession, seduction, and murder. You can get a full, spoiler-filled breakdown of the first season here.

When we’re reunited with the pair in Season 2, Sophie and Margo are on the outs. But soon enough, old secrets and new foes force them back together. As they play their dangerous games, the question arises: Are they the hunters, or the hunted?

Akerman shared her joy about returning to the Lone Star State late last year, taking to Instagram to post a selfie with Snow and Newman. “Hold on to your wigs…we have officially started shooting season 2!!!” she captioned the picture. “And y’all are not gonna be disappointed.”

Two uniformed police officers stand in a wooded area with yellow caution tape, appearing to investigate a scene amid trees and dry underbrush.

While we wait for the next season to drop, be sure to relive all the wild drama, accents, wigs, and well-manicured murders. As the theme song correctly states, these gals just want to have a good time.
