Brittany Snow wants to see more from Chrissy Metz’s The Hunting Wives character, Starr, during the upcoming second season.
This post has spoilers for The Hunting Wives season 1.
“All of us on this show are really having the best time,” Snow, 39, said on the Wednesday, November 19, episode of the “Las Culturistas” podcast. “We don’t care [what the fans say]. We’re just excited, but people can love it, hate it [or] read it.”
In response, podcast host Matt Rogers questioned how Netflix “did Chrissy Metz like that.”
“Why did she have to die?” Snow replied. “Emmy-nominated Chrissy Metz! I asked her [about her character’s death] at the Netflix party. I was like, ‘Do you think that you could come back and we could film the death scene?’”
During the first season of The Hunting Wives, Metz’s Starr was presumably killed by Jill (Katie Lowes) after their heated confrontation over Starr’s daughter, Abby, having an abortion before she was murdered. The altercation, however, did not play out on camera, with fans only seeing Starr bleeding out on the floor moments later.
“Maybe that could be in season 2,” Snow theorized. “I feel like she deserves that scene.”
The Hunting Wives, adapted from May Cobb’s novel of the same name, follows Sophie (Snow) when she moves to East Texas and gets to know a group of wealthy female friends. The Netflix hit, which is currently in production on season 2, also stars Malin Åkerman, Jaime Ray Newman and Dermot Mulroney.
As for Metz, 45, she would be on board to return as a way to explore Starr and Jill’s showdown.
“Katie Lowes and I agree there needs to be another season and there needs to be a flashback scene where we see what went down,” the This Is Us alum told People in August before The Hunting Wives was renewed for season 2. “I feel like Jill had to have a secret. Because why else would she do that? Starr was a good woman.”
Metz added, “What is Jill hiding? Anyway, that’s my pitch. I’m going to reach out to the showrunners and let them know we need some flashbacks if there’s another season.”
While fans wait with bated breath to find out more about season 2, Snow teased on Wednesday that there will be more over-the-top antics.
“We weren’t necessarily trying to do like high, high camp,” Snow said on Wednesday, referring to Hunting Wives showrunner Rebecca Cutter. “It was, sort of, somewhere in the middle. As we were doing the show, I realized, ‘Oh, we’re not really making Big Little Lies.’ I did feel if I lose the plot [and] am over-the-top in a way, then you don’t have a roundedness at all.”
She continued, “Sometimes I do wish that [I] pushed it a little bit, but I think that’s what next season is for. [Sophie’s] crazy. This is a woman who’s almost 40, and she’s, like, ‘I must keep myself caged and, if I don’t, then everything will unravel. I have the capacity to really go off the rails, so I have to keep myself really small,’ which is why I played it pretty small in general — and then I would have these big moments.”
A premiere date for The Hunting Wives season 2 has not been announced.
