The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is facing uncertainty. With season 5 production currently paused amid controversy involving Taylor Frankie Paul, fans are wondering what’s next for the hit reality series—and whether it could be canceled.
The situation comes as ABC also confirmed that the next season of The Bachelorette will no longer air as planned, adding to the broader shakeup in reality TV. Here’s everything to know about the latest updates, including the reunion status and ongoing legal developments.
Mikayla Matthews shared on her Instagram Stories that the cast made the call to pause filming. “It was a decision that all us girls came up with and agreed on,” she confirmed. “We didn’t feel comfortable filming with everything that was happening.”
At the time of publication, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has not been canceled. The series was previously renewed for season 5 as part of a larger episode order from Hulu, indicating the network’s continued investment in the show.
Multiple reports indicate the pause is temporary, with cast members themselves choosing to stop filming due to the situation, but Hulu has not confirmed when—or if—production will resume.
As of now, a season 4 reunion for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has not been officially announced by Hulu. While fans are eager for a follow-up after the dramatic fourth season, the network has yet to confirm whether a reunion special is in the works.
However, that doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t happen. In previous seasons, reunion specials were announced shortly after episodes dropped—for example, the season 3 reunion wasn’t confirmed until days after the premiere and aired weeks later.
