Mormon WivesCast Push to Restart Season 5 as Network Weighs Next Steps

Executives have not approved filming due to ongoing legal reviews plus an outside probe.

Overview

  • Cast members say they are ready to resume filming within weeks after a pause they requested for safety and mental health concerns, according to TMZ and prior cast interviews.
  • Hulu and ABC have not decided on the show’s return, and TMZ reports the cast is using social posts to build pressure on executives to greenlight production.
  • Utah police examined recent disputes involving Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen, and reporters say the findings were sent to the Salt Lake County district attorney for screening while a third‑party investigation hired by producers continues.
  • Court records show temporary safeguards are in place, including supervised visits for Paul with son Ever and temporary custody for Mortensen, with both sides pursuing protective orders.
  • Whitney Leavitt told Good Morning America she may not return as she focuses on her Broadway role in Chicago, adding uncertainty to the lineup if filming restarts.
