Aubrey โฃPlaza and Amy Poehler Skit Highlights Netflix‘s โ”The Hunting Wives” Renewal
newโ York, NY – “Saturday Night Live” โฃoffered a โคcomedic take on the Netflix hit “The Hunting Wives” this weekend, coinciding with the streaming service’sโฃ announcement of a second season renewalโ in September. โคThe sketch,featuring Amyโข Poehler andโฃ Aubreyโฃ Plaza,playfully dissectedโข the show’s blend of suspense,romance,and small-town drama,capturing โtheโ cultural conversation โsurrounding theโ series.
“The Hunting Wives,” โcreated by Rebecca Cutter, quickly became a streaming sensation, prompting comparisons to “Call Me By Yourโข Name” for โคa distinctly outdoorsyโ audience, as People magazine noted. The show’s success โคhas led to a second season,โ with Cutter promising โanother “sexy, twisted, batshitโฃ crazyโ ride through โฃMapleโ Brook.” โคThe “SNL” sketch tapped into this fervor, satirizing both the show’s plot points and โคthe audience’s reaction to โขthem.
Poehler and Plaza, who โpreviously โขco-starred in “Parks and Recreation,” led the sketch. Poehler parodied Malinโ Akerman’s character, kicking off aโ hypothetical second season with a โขprovocative reveal.Plazaโข played a newcomer to the groupโ of hunting wives, initially welcomedโ with โflirtation before โfacing rejection upon โrevealing her lesbian identity – a pointed joke highlighting the show’s complex dynamics.
The sketch didn’tโ shy away from playfully critiquing the show’s production โelements, โคwith the narrator cheekily observing theโค “wigs that are doing their best” duringโ an intimate scene. A tense standoff โbetween characters wielding โfirearms was also featured,underscoring the โshow’s dramatic โcore.
Netflix officially โขgreenlit the second season on September 18, 2024, signaling continued investment in the series and anticipation for โits โขnext chapter.The renewal suggests aโข strong viewership and a growingโ fanbase eager to see where Cutterโ takes the story next.
