SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH: Hulu's upcoming docu-series 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' follows a dynamic group of Mormon mother influencers who have gained significant traction on social media, particularly under the popular #MomTok hashtag. However, their lives take a dramatic turn when they become entangled in a scandal involving swinging, which rapidly spirals into a media frenzy. As a result, their tight-knit sisterhood is at risk, with their faith, friendships, and reputations coming under intense scrutiny.

In the trailer of the show, one of the cast members Mikayla Matthews shared her love for the Mormon church, yet acknowledged the challenges that come with the strict guidelines they are expected to adhere to. “I love the Mormon church, but there are a lot of rules that we have to follow,” she said in the trailer.  The TikTok highlighted the tension many experience between their personal choices and the expectations of their faith, emphasizing that their journey is far from straightforward.
