    The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is headed to the O.C.

    On April 22, 2026, Hulu confirmed that the pop-culture phenomenon that brought #MomTok and dirty soda to the masses will get the franchise treatment. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County will follow "a new group of dynamic young mothers in Orange County collide in a community where beliefs are not just their religion; they are their identity," per the loglline.

    It continues, "While some defend their way of life, fighting against modernity, others embrace change, becoming a platform to disrupt the status quo. Scandals and secrets will be revealed, facades will crumble, and families and friendships will change forever on both sides of the battlefield as this group of strong, game-changing influencers comes together to build their answer to #MomTok."

    Though it's still early days for the new spinoff, it seems like Hulu's set to continue the breakneck production schedule that brought us four seasons of SLOMW within 18 months. Read on for everything to know about The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County so far, from the veteran influencers in the cast to which original #MomTok member is switching cities.

    When will 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County' come out?

    Hulu has officially announced SLOMW: Orange County will premiere on November 12, 2026. All 10 episodes drop that day.

    Though the production timeline hasn't been publicly confirmed, the reality series appears to have been shot in late spring 2026. According to TMZ, eagle-eyed fans saw production out and about in Newport Beach and Huntington Beach in late April, shortly after the cast was revealed.

    Who will be in the cast of 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County?'

    Hulu has announced that the main cast of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County will include longtime influencer Aspyn Ovard, 30; the franchise's first non-American star, Aussie influencer Ashleigh Pease, 32; former nurse and TikTok star Avery Woods, 31; newcomer Chandler Higginson, 32; fitness trainer/influencer Jordan McClanahan, 33; family YouTuber Madison Bontempo, 34; Mayci McNeely's sister McCall DaPron, 36; influencer Salomé Andrea, 34, who hails from Guam. The cast also features a couple of names you might recognize outside of TikTok: podcaster Bobbi Althoff, 29, and Mormon Wives album Jen Affleck, 27.

    Like the original #MomTok women, the Orange County cast includes a mix of Saints and Sinners. Both Aspyn and Avery have openly distanced themselves from the Mormon church in the past, though they both married and had children young. Bobbi, meanwhile, identifies as Christian, but is not a member of the Mormon church.

    When the premiere date was announced, "The Really Good Podcast" host took to her Instagram Story, per E! News, to clarify that she is "not Mormon," but her brother is. She admitted that she grew up in a Christian household, but only went to a Mormon church "like twice" as a child. She has been vocal about her faith in the past, though, sharing in interviews that she started going to church again after her 2024 divorce from Cory Althoff.

    If you want to get to know the stars of Orange Country #MomTok a bit more, Hulu has shared a teaser. The clip introduces the women, who share where they're originally from, and some fun tidbits about themselves. One can assume drama is in store, as Bobbi definitely brings the attitude, Madison and Avery have strong feelings about their biggest pet peeves—people who are judgmental and people who can't take accountability, respectively—and Aspen uses the video as an opportunity to address the rumor she and her ex-husband, Parker, are still together. (They are not!)

    Will any members of the 'SLOMW' cast appear on 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County?'

    Only one SLOMW star is making the jump from Utah to SoCal. On April 26, Jen Affleck shared a video introducing the SLOMW: Orange County cast with a sitcom-style opening credits sequence set to the Full House theme. It makes sense that Jen will appear on the spinoff: She previously revealed in an October 2025 PEOPLE interview that her family was moving from Utah to California.

    As for the rest of Utah #MomTok, Disney exec Rob Mills hinted that the O.C. is open to more appearances from the flagship cast. "There’s definitely room for not just Jen, but many members of the Utah Mormon Wives," Mills told Variety. "That’s all being discussed. We’re really just starting the show, but as you see, Mayci’s sister is on there! I think in a perfect world, it’s something where there’s room for everybody to kind of pop in and out.
