Katie Lowes teases ‘The Hunting Wives’ Season 2 return after Jill’s death



It’s an old wives’ tale. 

“The Hunting Wives” star Katie Lowes could return to the hit steamy thriller in Season 2, even after her character’s dramatic death.

“Anything’s possible, right? I definitely think Jill is dead,”  Lowes, 42, exclusively told The Post.

“I keep getting texts like ‘she’s not dead. She’s in a coma,’” she laughed.

The “Scandal” actress explained, “We know that the [show’s] world is wild and out there. So, who knows? But, I think that hopefully there could always be flashbacks.” 

“The Hunting Wives” has not officially confirmed a Season 2 renewal. 

But the series, now on Netflix, was the most-streamed show the first week of August, raking up over 2 billion minutes viewed, per Deadline.

The raunchy hit follows Sophie (Brittany Snow), a Massachusetts woman who relocates to Texas thanks to her husband’s job. Soon, she becomes entangled in the web of her new friend Margo Banks (Malin Akerman), the Queen Bee leader of the local community.

Margo presides over a clique of moms and socialites who like shooting guns – and, she also has affairs with men and women alike, including fellow member of their girl group, Callie (Jaime Ray Newman) and her friend Jill’s (Lowes) son, Brad (George Ferrier). 

Jill is the local preacher’s wife and a basketball mom – and she’s oddly possessive of Brad.

“People would ask me if that was hard to play [Jill],” Lowes told The Post. 

“Obviously, her marriage is horrible. She got married very young. And I think she’s incredibly lonely, and no one cares about her. And she’s a very capable, smart woman. And her wires got crossed. And all of her life’s passions just fell on Brad.”

The actress added, “She’s so complicated and complex, it was so fun to play.”

Things turn deadly when Brad’s girlfriend, Abby (Madison Wolfe), turns up dead in the woods. That’s far from the show’s only casualty.

Jill ends up killing Abby’s mother, Starr (Chrissy Metz), in a violent confrontation, and Callie ends up shooting Jill.  

“Chrissy Metz and I were running around on set the night where we were both murdered, and we were calling it ‘The Haunting,’ like going around trying to scare everyone,” shared Lowes.

The “Inventing Anna” actress joked that she was “honestly” a little disappointed that Jill didn’t get the racy scenes her counterparts did.

Lowes previously revealed she had originally auditioned for Callie. However, after she ended up playing Jill instead, who has no sex scenes, she decided to look on the bright side.

“I made it 42 years without having to make that phone call to my dad saying, ‘I just want to prepare you,’” she told The Post.

Lowes added that she did get nude a few times during her college days at NYU for “experimental theater,” but that was “before the iPhone.” 

She quipped, “And at the time, I thought I was making the best theater in the world. Looking back, maybe not… But it doesn’t live on Netflix!”
