Deadline • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Hulu has confirmed that production on Season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives will resume after being paused earlier this year due to domestic assault allegations against cast member Taylor Frankie Paul.
- The show’s filming was halted shortly after Season 4 premiered, amid serious allegations from Paul’s ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, although domestic charges against Paul were later dropped.
- It remains unclear if Paul will return to the series, which features her alongside Jessi Draper, Jen Affleck, Miranda Hope, Whitney Leavitt, Mikayla Matthews, Mayci Neeley, and Layla Taylor, all of whom are also executive producers.
- Disney, Hulu’s parent company, opted to announce the production resumption ahead of its major reality event, Get Real, scheduled for April 22.
- Additional drama has unfolded off-camera in Utah, including Jessi Draper’s controversial behavior, which may add intrigue when filming resumes.
