Production is set to resume for Hulu's reality series "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" after an unexpected hiatus that began in mid-March, according to exclusive sources.
The show was abruptly paused during filming of its fifth season following a heated confrontation between cast members Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen. While production insiders confirm cameras will roll again soon, it remains unclear whether Paul or Mortensen will participate in the resumed filming with the rest of the cast.
The conflict between the two cast members escalated in late February when police were called on two consecutive days. On February 23, a man identified as Cru Ethan contacted authorities, reporting what he described as an ongoing pattern of domestic abuse involving his friend, believed to be Mortensen.
This development comes after previous incidents between the cast members, including a 2023 altercation where Paul acknowledged being the aggressor. The production pause and subsequent return to filming mark another dramatic chapter for the series that explores the lives of women in plural marriage communities.
