LOS ANGELES — Brittany Snow and Malin Åkerman have offered fans another glimpse into the behind-the-scenes atmosphere of The Hunting Wives, revealing that Reneé Rapp’s music was part of the mood-setting around an intimate scene on the Netflix drama.
In an interview shared by Pop Crave, the actresses discussed listening to Rapp’s song “Pretty Girls” ahead of filming the scene. The detail adds a playful musical footnote to the on-screen chemistry between Snow’s Sophie O’Neil and Åkerman’s Margo Banks.
The musical reference fits with earlier comments from Snow about finding a comfortable rhythm with her co-star while filming the show’s intimate material. In January, Us Weekly reported that Snow had spoken about playing Reneé Rapp during filming, while PinkNews also reported her comment that the music helped the performers get into a groove. Those earlier reports establish the broader role of Rapp’s music on set; the specific “Pretty Girls” detail comes from the Pop Crave interview.
The actresses’ working relationship has also been a recurring topic in interviews. Speaking to Extra in a November 12 interview, Snow explained that the pair have developed a shared way of checking in with one another during intimate scenes. She said they can read each other’s reactions and know when the other is comfortable, enjoying the moment or needs something. Åkerman added that they now have a lot of fun working together.
Their on-screen relationship is central to the series, which follows Sophie, a newcomer to an affluent East Texas community, as she becomes increasingly drawn into Margo’s glamorous but dangerous social circle. The story blends desire, secrets, power struggles and murder, with the complicated connection between the two women driving much of the drama.
Season two is set to arrive on Netflix on November 26, 2026. Netflix’s Tudum coverage says the new chapter finds Sophie and Margo estranged at first, before old secrets and new threats pull them back into one another’s orbit.
With the next season promising more tension and complicated entanglements, the Reneé Rapp reference offers a light-hearted glimpse of how the cast builds its on-set chemistry. For viewers, it is another reminder that the charged moments on screen are carefully shaped through collaboration and trust behind the camera.
