You would have to have been buried under a mountain of quilts not to have heard the phrases
00:08
soft swinging or fruity pebbles in the last couple of weeks.
00:11
Yep, Hulu's new reality show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has landed hot and fast.
00:16
And it's caught the attention of the public like nothing I've seen in years.
00:20
In fact, I can't remember the last time I was this excited to put fresh faces on the
00:25
cover of a magazine.
00:26
Mormon Wives is major female friend drama set against the backdrop of not-as-conservative
00:32
as we thought Mormonism.
00:33
There's sex scandals, TikTok stars competing to be a queen bee, and there's a cast member
00:39
who's distantly related to Ben Affleck.
00:43
Or are they?
00:44
The show has all the makings of classic reality TV guilty pleasure, but there's a lot more
00:49
than meets the eye than just noisy reality TV drama.
00:53
Although there's nothing wrong with that.
00:54
One of the reasons Mormon Wives is so compelling is because it's rare to get a glimpse into
00:58
the lives of religious communities, especially when they're nothing like we might have imagined.
01:04
In our cover story, the stars talk exclusively to Us Weekly and question whether their lives
01:09
would be quite so dramatic now if their formative years hadn't been so restricted by religious
01:14
doctrine and rules.
01:16
For example, one character, Whitney, grapples with whether to accept a sponsorship that
01:20
would have paid her $20,000 for promoting a sex toy and talks about inspiring other
01:25
women to not be ashamed.
01:26
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is also a story about sisterhood, supporting each other
01:30
and subverting the conservative patriarchy and giving themselves independence by becoming
01:35
breadwinners.
01:36
We talked to all of the show's cast, its producers and some folks from behind the scenes,
01:41
including one of the attendees of the soft-swinging parties, for this deeply reported package
01:47
on the show that is capturing the zeitgeist.
01:49
I would love to know what you think.
01:52
