'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County' sets its premiere date

ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Orange County-based spinoff of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” will premiere on Nov. 12.

“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County” is the first new version of the series that originated in Utah in 2024 and has aired five seasons so far on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.

Unlike “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” which airs a new episode once a week, “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County” will drop all 10 episodes of its debut season on Nov. 12, making it a bingeable alternative to the traditional style of weekly episodes.

The series includes Jen Affleck, who was a cast member of the original “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” series. The other eight wives include Bobbi Althoff and Aspyn Ovard, both of whom are well-known influencers, as well as McCall DaPron, who is the sister of Mayci Neeley, another of the original “Mormon Wives.”

Salomé Andrea, Madison Bontempo, Chandler Higginson Brooks, Ashleigh Pease, and Avery Woods round out the Orange County cast members.

It’s likely that the arrival of “Mormon Wives: Orange County” will collide briefly with “Real Housewives of Orange County.” If the housewives keep to the 20-episode seasons of recent vintage they should be smack in the middle of a trio of reunion shows when the “Mormon Wives” land in O.C. on Nov. 12.
