Hulu Renews Mormon Wives for 20 Episodes as Season 5 Shrinks to 5

Summary
20 new episodes of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives are already filming, with Hulu effectively extending the reality series through Seasons 6 and 7.
Season 5, due later this year, was cut to five episodes from the usual 10 after production was halted during investigations tied to Taylor Frankie Paul.
Paul had been filmed throwing a metal stool at her ex-boyfriend; domestic charges were later dropped, and the fallout will be part of the upcoming season.
Layla Taylor said Season 5 will be a "dark" but necessary chapter in the MomTok saga, while saying the cast is now filming Season 6 and hoping for a lighter tone.
Hulu has not confirmed the full returning cast or how the 20 episodes will be split, though Taylor and Paul appear set to continue and Whitney Leavitt has said Season 5 is her last.
