North Carolina is still playing East Texas: The season 2 filming locations of The Hunting Wives

The Hunting Wives (season 2)

Season 1 pulled 20 million views in its first five weeks. Netflix renewed it in September 2025, weeks after the season finale aired. By November 17 – barely four months after season 1 premiered – cameras were already rolling on season 2. The Hunting Wives season 2 premieres on Netflix on November 26, 2026 – Thanksgiving Day. Eight episodes. Filmed in North Carolina.

The Hunting Wives is based on the novel by May Cobb and created by Rebecca Cutter, produced by Lionsgate Television for Netflix. The series is set in fictional Maple Brook, East Texas – a world of wealthy women, sprawling estates, country clubs and violence that nobody sees coming. Season 2 adds Angel Reese and John Stamos to the cast alongside returning leads.

Season 2 was renewed for a third season on October 7, 2026, before it had even aired. That third season will film somewhere new – production is leaving North Carolina.

Charlotte and the Lake Norman Area

Season 2 filmed from November 17, 2025 to March 2026 – a four-month shoot based in North Charlotte and the Lake Norman area, returning to many of the same locations that built fictional Maple Brook, East Texas in season 1.

Mooresville’s Main Street – the downtown that became Maple Brook’s town centre in season 1, with storefronts redressed and renamed for filming – returned for season 2. The Lake Norman area, whose eastern shore provided the lakeside cabin environments in season 1 at the Azalea Retreat in Sherrills Ford, continued to provide the wealthy lakeside world of the show. Coyote Joe’s – the Charlotte country music venue that featured in season 1 – appears again in the season 2 trailer. Stone Haven Estate in Cabarrus County, which played the Banks’ mansion in season 1, also returns and features in the season 2 trailer.

Mooresville and Huntersville

Mooresville – the Lake Norman town whose downtown was transformed into the fictional Maple Brook town centre for season 1 – returned in January 2026 for season 2 as the primary small-town streetscape location. Main Street, Broad Street and the interior of Pie in the Sky Pizza all featured in the shoot. Campaign signs reading “Keep Texas Strong: Vote Jed Banks for Governor” were spotted around town – a detail that tells you something about where the season 2 story is heading. Full production crews, dressed storefronts and a Texan political campaign on a North Carolina main street. Mooresville’s streets stepped back into the spotlight.

In early March 2026, Huntersville provided two confirmed filming days for season 2. On the evening of March 2 – from 6pm to 11pm – the 10400 block of McCoy Road was hard-closed in front of a farmhouse for filming. Social media reports suggest a chase scene was shot on the stretch between Hambright Road and Beatties Ford Road. T

The following day, March 3, production moved to Clutch Studios at 11101 Hambright Road, with intermittent traffic stops along Hambright Road and Mount Holly-Huntersville Road between 9am and 4pm – paused during afternoon school dismissal so buses could run on time. “They came in with a big team, like what you would expect in LA,” said Warren Vigus, co-founder of the studio.

Gastonia

On February 24, 2026, downtown Gastonia provided a new location for season 2 – cameras rolling from 7am to 7pm at the corner of North York Street and West Main Avenue. Interior scenes were filmed inside The Rustin on Main, with a large mechanical arm stationed outside the property carrying a light rig to illuminate the interior for the shoot.

The Hunting Wives season 2 premieres on Netflix on November 26, 2026.
