The internet flipped upside down when Amanda Hirsch announced that Malin Akerman, star of the hottest show ‘The Hunting Wives,’ was coming on the podcast. The frenzy created by the Instagram post witnessed several people professing their excitement of what was sure to be a must-listen episode.

Akerman’s role in this show was supposed to be electric. Fans started calling it “a lesbian sexual awakening” while they praised the show for its bold storytelling from another point of view. One fan said, “I binged this show not once but twice! Margo Banks was just too good for words!” Another one added, “Best show on any screen! @malinakerman is fire.”
The show seems to have entered the hearts of viewers very deep, one joked: “Already a lesbian and I want season 2, 3, 4 :),” while another confessed, “I had no idea going in that this would end up being my guilty pleasure.” The hype is so real that even Hirsch herself mentioned, “If you want your husband to like, want to get it on that night, watch it with him.”
The glories weren’t the only things that filled the talk, though. Others had burning questions about the show-probably about the wigs Akerman wore on it. “Please tell me u asked her about those horrible wigs they made her wear,” demanded one commenter. Amanda replied, “Duh!!.”
The show is admired for more than just its steamy scenes, as it has spurred the revival of disrupted dialogues on representation. One fan said, “Glad Malin said ‘or maybe watch it with a girl you have a secret crush on’ cause why were you only talking about husbands when the majority of viewers are LGBTQ?”
With such a vast population behind it, fans will surely put more pressure on for an addition. “Netflix would be crazy not to do a season two,” Amanda said in her video, and all appearances suggest the crowd would agree.
Whether you will be watching this upcoming podcast or are already in your third rewatch, one thing is obvious- Malin Akerman has done something hard to forget, meaning this conversation will remain relevant for quite some time.
