The world of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is expanding, with the franchise heading west to Orange County for an exciting new spinoff, which premieres today, Thursday, November 12, at 4pm AEDT.
After months of drama surrounding the original series, which included Taylor Frankie Paul’s sudden departure following allegations of bullying and a public legal debacle, a new cast is stepping into the MomTok spotlight.
The upcoming series introduces nine women, including returning cast member Jen Affleck, who is currently navigating a highly publicised divorce from her husband, Zac Affleck. Joining Jen are influencers Bobbi Althoff, Aspyn Ovard, Avery Woods, McCall DaPron, Ashleigh Pease, Salomé Andrea, Madison Bontempo and Jordan McClanahan.
Much like the original series, the Orange County spin-off will follow the personal lives, relationships and behind-the-scenes drama of a group of women who all have varying degrees of connection to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
There has also been a last-minute cast shake-up ahead of the premiere. Chandler Higginson, who was initially announced as one of the stars of SLOMW: OC, has since been pulled from the line-up. Her place was ultimately taken by Jordan McClanahan, who was introduced to fans in a cast teaser released in September. Chandler has yet to publicly explain her exit, although she has shared a number of cryptic comments on social media.
