Is Mormon Wives Season 5 Out? All 5 Episodes Have Been on Hulu Since Sept. 10

Short version — Yes, season 5 is out. All five episodes of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives went up on Hulu together on Thursday, Sept. 10, 2026. There is no weekly wait: the whole season is sitting there now, and it runs about half the length of every season before it.

How do I watch it now?

Open Hulu and search the title rather than hunting the carousels — a season that dropped complete stops being merchandised on the home screen within a week or two, which is the usual reason people conclude it is not there. Any tier carries it.

The release itself ran on Hulu's standard clock: midnight Pacific, which reads as 3 a.m. Eastern. That pattern, service by service, is in our release-time guide, and whether a given show drops whole or weekly is tracked in the weekly-versus-complete chart.

How many episodes are in season 5?

Five — and that is the single fact most people arrive looking for. It is half the ten-episode order the show has run since it started, and the cut is not a scheduling quirk: production stopped partway through filming. Everything shot made it into a shorter season rather than being spread thinner, which is why the five that exist move faster than a normal run.

👉 Four seasons in two years, and this is the first one you can finish before lunch.

What has happened since the season dropped?

One of the show’s own went straight from Hulu to network television. Conner Leavitt joined Dancing with the Stars season 35, danced a salsa on the Sept. 15 premiere, scored 12 out of 30 and was the first celebrity eliminated — five days after season 5 posted. Our reality desk has the full night-one card.

Who is in the season 5 cast?

Taylor Frankie Paul, Jen Affleck, Jessi Draper, Layla Taylor, Mayci Neeley, Mikayla Matthews, Miranda Hope and Whitney Leavitt. Demi Engemann is not returning. Leavitt has said this is her last season, and Affleck is expected to move on after a relocation to Los Angeles, with a spinoff appearance ahead.

The trailer sets up two threads: Paul's return from The Bachelorette and the fallout waiting for her, and Leavitt's Broadway debut in New York while things sour back home.

Is the show renewed?

Yes — twice over. Seasons 6 and 7 are already ordered, so the shortened fifth run is not a wind-down.

Where can you watch it?

Hulu in the United States, including Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers; Disney+ internationally. There is no cable or broadcast airing. What each tier costs right now is in our 2026 plans and prices page, and if you are deciding what to keep for the fall, the weekly-versus-complete chart shows which subscriptions you can cancel after a single weekend.
