Taylor Frankie Paul has announced she will not appear in future seasons of Hulu's *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives*, according to the New York Times. Paul was a central figure in the show's first season, which became a surprise streaming hit.
The series followed a group of Utah-based Mormon momfluencers and their interpersonal conflicts. Paul's departure removes one of the show's most prominent cast members as Hulu prepares potential follow-up seasons.
Paul gained initial notoriety in 2022 after revealing an extramarital "soft swinging" arrangement that fractured her social circle and became the show's underlying tension.
