Mormon Wives Season 5 Release Time: When All 5 Episodes Drop on Hulu (Sept. 10, 2026)
| Time zone | When it unlocks |
|---|---|
| Eastern | 3 a.m. ET, Thu., Sept. 10 |
| Central | 2 a.m. CT, Thu., Sept. 10 |

All five episodes at once. No weekly hold-back, no midnight-Eastern head start — if you are on the East Coast and awake at midnight, you have three hours to wait.
What time does Mormon Wives season 5 come out?
Hulu does not publish a per-title clock, and it does not have to: its originals have landed on the midnight-Pacific pattern for years, which reads as 3 a.m. Eastern. That is the hour to plan around. Our service-by-service release-time guide lays out where each platform actually sits.
One practical note. Hulu titles occasionally appear in the app a few minutes early and occasionally a few minutes late; refreshing the app usually beats waiting on the row to repopulate.
How many episodes are in season 5?
Five. That 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.
| Season | Premiere | Episodes | Format |

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