The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is getting a broadcast debut (here's what to know)

As a binge-watcher who’s been through countless streaming hours and a die-hard fan of reality TV drama, let me tell you, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the broadcast debut of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” on ABC! This show has been my guilty pleasure since its release on Hulu, and to see it grace the small screen every Monday night is like striking gold in a reality TV mine.

Could it be that The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, one of the hottest reality TV series of 2024, will continue its success? This captivating show has been following the lives and drama of eight Utah moms who have gained popularity through their TikTok channels. For several months now, all episodes have been available for streaming on Hulu. Now, the show is receiving a special airing on ABC, indicating that it may be here to stay!

In the world of streaming shows, it’s extremely unusual for one to be given a weekly broadcast run, and even more so for a reality series to secure such a position. Post the industry strikes with the AMPTP in 2023, popular shows like “Only Murders in the Building” and “Yellowstone” resumed their airing on traditional television to help cover scheduling gaps. However, it’s quite exceptional that a show like “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” has managed to claim a primetime slot.

When does The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives air on ABC?

ABC’s Winter TV Schedule now includes the documentary series titled “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”. Starting from January 27th, new episodes will be aired every Monday at 10/9c, following a two-hour episode of “The Bachelor” that begins at 8/7c. Over the course of eight weeks, each subsequent Monday will see a new installment of this series airing.

The series focuses on a band of mothers in Utah, who call themselves “MomTok,” as they are a collaborative TikTok video-making team that have secured notable brand partnerships through their platforms. Their livelihood is intertwined with their camaraderie and celebrity status. One of the group’s ringleaders, Taylor Frankie Paul, garnered attention on the app in 2022 by disclosing that some of the other couples within the group had been engaging in a non-traditional relationship style known as “swinging.” The show delves into the drama but primarily concentrates on fresh conflicts arising from these mothers’ attempts to reconcile their lifestyle with their religious beliefs.

Since the series has been renewed for a second season, it’s logical that Hulu and ABC would aim to grow its viewer base and generate more buzz for the upcoming season. This strategy also offers an affordable solution for ABC, as they can fill a slot in their programming without investing in a new show or paying residuals to the cast and crew (which I believe should be addressed). However, I’m pleased that ABC recognizes the potential of this series and is choosing to support it.

The first season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” debuts on Monday, January 27th, on ABC. If you can’t wait to binge-watch the entire series, all episodes are still accessible for streaming on Hulu.
