The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives returns March 12, and the MomTok empire is both soaring and fracturing. A trailer released January 21 spotlights record-breaking individual milestones-yet teases the group’s biggest emotional blow-ups yet.
Wins, Tears and a Missing Castmate
Season 3 ended with cheating scandals, newborn babies and friendships on life support. The new two-minute preview picks up as the women translate viral clips into mainstream fame:
- Taylor Frankie Paul snags the upcoming Bachelorette lead, filming mere days after the Hulu drop
- Whitney Leavitt and Jennifer Affleck trade TikTok for ballroom lights on Dancing with the Stars
- Layla Taylor struts New York Fashion Week, shouting “I’m so proud of everyone in MomTok. All of us are spreading our wings”
That pride is paired with panic. Layla immediately warns, “But all the cool opportunities could potentially pull us apart.”
Cracks in the Empire
Cameras capture shouting matches, tearful confessionals and a face noticeably absent: Demi Engemann does not appear in any footage. The remaining eight-Taylor, Whitney, Jennifer, Mikayla Matthews, Mayci Neeley, Layla, Miranda Hope and Jessi Ngatikaura-grapple with heightened scrutiny.
In one moment Miranda sobs in Layla’s arms: “Everything just immediately goes up in flames.” Jessi later declares, “No one’s safe,” while Mayci compares the collective to “a dysfunctional family.”
The most explosive scene lands on Taylor. Visibly pregnant, she ends a phone call with: “I hate all of you because you all knew. Goodbye.” The trailer cuts to Jessi asking the now-viral question: “Is she going to be a pregnant bachelorette?”
From Influencers to Celebrities
Olivia M. Hartwell reported for News Of Los Angeles that season 4 aims to resolve last year’s cliffhangers: Which relationships survived? Who holds the group together? And can the women balance brand deals, sold-out meet-ups and network television without imploding?
Season 3 chronicled divorce filings, custody battles and accusations of swinging in conservative Utah circles. Season 4 ups the ante as the cast graduates from app fame to tabloid fixtures.
Key Takeaways
- March 12 marks the return of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on Hulu
- Taylor Frankie Paul’s Bachelorette casting is front-and-center
- Demi Engemann is out; eight other MomTokers remain
- Expect fashion shows, dance-floor scores and “flames” of interpersonal fallout
