Reality TV’s MomTok universe is expanding, and this time, it’s heading to Orange County, California. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, premiering on Hulu on November 12, introduces a new group of influencers whose lives, relationships, and beliefs are about to be put on blast for the entire world to see. With some familiar faces like Jen Affleck, one of the moms from the original series, or joining personalities including Bobbi Althoff and Aspyn Ovard, the spinoff promises a fresh look at the friendships, personal lives, and conflicts behind the social media posts. From getting to know the women and their backgrounds to exploring how this new group differs from the original Utah cast, here’s what you need to know before you watch.
Meet the Cast
Bobbi Althoff:
You may recognize Bobbi from her hit podcast and being a social media personality best known for The Really Good Podcast, where her deadpan humor and unconventional celebrity interviews have helped her stand out online. Her interviews with well-known musicians and entertainers, such as Drake and Mark Cuban, have generated significant attention, making her one of the more recognizable names joining the spinoff. Althoff is also a mother of two and has shared parts of her life and experiences with her audience online.
Aspyn Ovard:
This mom has been sharing her life online since the early days of YouTube lifestyle content. Known for beauty, fashion, and family videos, she built a large following long before the announcement of the new series. Ovard is a mother of three and has publicly navigated major personal changes in recent years. Her experience growing up online could offer a different perspective on what happens when personal milestones become part of a public conversation.
Avery Woods:
Avery Woods is an influencer and podcast host who previously worked as a pediatric intensive care unit nurse. She later transitioned into content creation, where she shares videos about motherhood, relationships, and everyday life. Woods also hosts CHEERS! with Avery Woods and is a mother of two. Her transition from healthcare to a full-time online career makes her background distinct from those who began creating content at a younger age.
Salomé Andrea:
This popular lifestyle influencer is a face you may also recognize from TikTok who shares content about fashion, motherhood, and family life. Originally from Utah, she is a mother of twin daughters, with another child on the way, and has spoken about her experiences growing up in the Latter-day Saint community. Her background brings a connection to Utah’s cultural landscape, even as the franchise expands into Southern California.
Ashleigh Pease:
This Australian-born influencer who lives in Orange County with her family is also making a way to our screens this November. Pease and her husband are raising four children, and she shares aspects of motherhood and everyday life with her online audience. Compared with some of the more widely recognized creators in the cast, Pease may be a newer name for viewers discovering the group through the show.
Madison Bontempo:
You may recognize this came as well as Bontempo is a YouTuber, actress and social media personality known for The FishFam, the family-focused channel she runs with her husband, Kyler Fisher. Their content documents family life and raising their five children. Bontempo has also discussed the role of her faith in her family’s traditions and values, making her perspective relevant to a series exploring the relationship between belief, family, and modern lifestyles.
McCall DaPron:
Most likely one of the biggest names in the upcoming cast is McCall DaPron, a former Division I tennis player, mother of four, and social media creator. She is also the sister of Mayci Neeley, one of the original The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast members. That family connection gives viewers a direct link between the two groups, although DaPron brings her own experiences and identity to the Orange County series. Her content includes motherhood, homemaking, and sourdough baking.
Jordan McClanahan:
Jordan McClanahan is a mother of four who shares aspects of her family life, fitness interests, and personal experiences online. She is also known for discussing her journey to sobriety and her conversion to the Latter-day Saint faith. Her background adds another perspective to the group’s conversations about identity, family, and belief.
Jen Affleck:
The most familiar face in this cast is none other than Jen Affleck. Viewers may recognize her from her time with Utah’s MomTok group and her appearance on Dancing with the Stars. Her inclusion creates a natural bridge between the two shows and gives longtime fans a familiar personality to follow as they get acquainted with the new cast.
What Can We Expect?
At the center of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County is a group of women balancing motherhood, relationships, friendships, and public attention. According to Hulu’s official description, the series explores a community where beliefs are closely connected to identity, with some women defending tradition while others embrace change.
That tension could become a major part of the show’s appeal. The women come from different backgrounds and have built their online audiences in different ways, meaning they may not always agree on family expectations, personal choices, or what it means to share their lives publicly.
Social media also adds another layer to the group’s relationships. For influencers, online attention can create opportunities, but it can also make private disagreements more complicated when audiences become involved. Friendships that appear close online may look different behind the scenes, and public reactions can add pressure to already difficult situations.
Hulu’s description promises secrets, scandals, and changing friendships as the women establish their own version of MomTok. Although viewers will have to watch the series to see how those storylines unfold, the mix of personalities and perspectives sets the stage for a season centered on both personal relationships and the pressures of living in the public eye.
How Does It Compare to the Original?
The original The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives introduced audiences to Utah’s MomTok community, where a group of women navigated friendships, marriage, motherhood, and questions about faith while building their social media careers. Its mix of personal revelations and group conflicts helped turn the series into a major reality TV conversation.
The Orange County spinoff expands that concept by introducing a different community with its own personalities and experiences. Rather than simply following the original cast in a new location, the series brings together creators whose careers and family lives developed in different ways.
The cast also includes women with varying relationships to the Latter-day Saint community. While religion and tradition remain part of the show’s premise, it is important not to assume that every cast member shares the same beliefs or practices. Their individual experiences are part of what makes the new group distinct.
There are also connections between the two shows. Jen Affleck returns as a familiar face, while McCall DaPron’s relationship to original cast member Mayci Neeley creates another link between the Utah and Orange County communities. These connections may appeal to longtime viewers while giving newcomers an opportunity to learn about the franchise through a different group of women.
However, the biggest question is whether Orange County will develop a recognizable identity of its own. The new cast has a different combination of influencers, family backgrounds, and experiences, giving the spinoff room to explore new dynamics while retaining the themes that made the original series popular.
When and Where to Watch
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County premieres November 12, 2026, with all eight episodes arriving on Hulu at once. The series will also be available on Disney+ for eligible bundle subscribers in the United States and on Disney+ internationally.
For viewers who have followed the original MomTok group, the spinoff offers a chance to meet a new community and see how the franchise develops beyond Utah.

With a new cast, different personal backgrounds, and relationships that will unfold throughout the season, Orange County is preparing to put its own spin on the MomTok phenomenon. Whether viewers are tuning in for the personalities, the family dynamics, or the reality TV drama, the upcoming series offers a new chapter in the franchise.
