‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Season 5 Release Date Time, and Where to Watch MomTok’s Wildest Chapter Yet

The wait for new ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ episodes is finally over, and this time the drama comes with an actual expiration date. Hulu has set a September 10 premiere date for the fifth season, giving fans of the #MomTok saga a concrete reason to clear their calendars.

What makes this rollout different is the format itself, which breaks from everything the show has done before. Season 5 will run for only five episodes, compared to the ten that made up previous seasons, a shift that has already become a major talking point among longtime viewers.

‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Season 5 Release Date and Episode Count

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 5 is set to premiere on Hulu, and on Hulu through Disney+ for bundle subscribers, on Thursday, September 10. That single date matters more than usual this time around, because unlike a traditional weekly rollout, the entire season lands at once.

The truncated season will hit Hulu on September 10 with just five episodes, a stark departure from the show’s usual ten episode structure. Reports had previously indicated the shortened run was tied to production being paused, with only cast confessionals filmed afterward rather than new scripted footage.

Fans hoping for a slow burn will not get one this time. Because all five episodes are expected to be available together, ‘Mormon Wives’ Season 5 is shaping up to be a binge friendly event rather than a drawn out weekly watch.

The shorter count has not dampened enthusiasm though. If anything, the compressed format has added urgency to a season that was already surrounded by controversy long before the trailer dropped.

Where to Watch ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Season 5?

Streaming access remains straightforward for existing subscribers. The season is available on Hulu, as well as on Hulu through Disney+ for those on the bundle plan, meaning viewers do not need a separate app or subscription to catch up with #MomTok.

Given the show’s track record, Hulu’s continued investment says a lot about its performance. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has already filmed and premiered four seasons in the two years since its first episode aired in 2024, and its popularity has only grown from there.

That popularity extends well beyond the streaming numbers too. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives began in 2024 as something of a running joke about whether MomTok could survive its endless scandals, but heading into Season 5, that question feels far more serious.

Cast Shake-Ups and What to Expect from the MomTok Drama

The returning lineup is stacked, but not without exits on the horizon. Taylor Frankie Paul, Whitney Leavitt, Jen Affleck, Jessi Draper, Layla Taylor, Mayci Neeley, Mikayla Matthews, and Miranda Hope all return for Season 5, and each also serves as an executive producer this time around.

Several departures are already locked in for after this run. Demi Engemann has confirmed she has left the show entirely, Whitney Leavitt has revealed Season 5 will be her final season, and Jen Affleck is expected to depart following her move to Los Angeles, though she will appear in the upcoming spinoff ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County’.

The season’s central storyline centers on Taylor Frankie Paul’s off camera turmoil. The season follows the fallout after ABC pulled Paul from her season of The Bachelorette in March, a decision made after a leaked video showed a domestic incident between Paul and her ex, Dakota Mortensen. Though a ruling in April cleared Paul of domestic violence charges, she remains in a custody dispute involving her shared son with Mortensen.

The trailer itself leans hard into the fractures forming within the friend group. Paul is heard asking how the group ended up pulled in different directions, while castmates question whether they truly want each other to succeed, setting up a season that feels heavier than past installments.

‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Season 5 Trailer Highlights and Renewal News

The newly released trailer gives fans their clearest look yet at what is coming. It teases the events leading up to Taylor Frankie Paul’s Bachelorette season being shelved amid her conflict with Dakota Mortensen, and shows Whitney Leavitt’s castmates visiting her in New York during her Broadway run in Chicago, all while her ongoing rift with Jen Affleck simmers in the background.

Fans worried this might be the beginning of the end can relax. Mormon Wives has already been renewed for at least 20 more episodes expected to span a sixth and seventh season, confirming the franchise’s future well beyond this shortened run.

Between the custody battle, the cast exits, and the looming spinoff, ‘Mormon Wives’ Season 5 has a lot riding on just five episodes. Now that the premiere date is locked in, which storyline are you the most nervous to see play out, Taylor and Dakota’s fallout or Whitney’s send off from the group.
