From Child Star to Leading Lady
Snow’s career began as a teenager on Guiding Light, earning her a Young Artist Award. She took a two-year break in her early twenties to focus on mental health before returning to Pitch Perfect in 2012. Her role as Sophie O’Neill in The Hunting Wives marks her biggest leading role yet, alongside Malin Akerman in the Netflix thriller series.
Born and raised in Tampa, Snow has built a diverse filmography that includes Hairspray (2007), Prom Night (2008), and John Tucker Must Die (2006). But her Netflix debut last July changed everything for the actress, proving she could lead a major streaming hit with millions of viewers.

Hunting Wives Season 1 Was a Breakout Hit
The Hunting Wives premiered on July 21, 2025, and immediately captured audiences with its steamy sapphic storyline. The series follows Snow’s character Sophie as she moves to Texas and becomes entangled with an elite group led by Margo Banks, played by Malin Akerman. In just five weeks, the show accumulated 20 million views, making it one of Netflix’s strongest August releases.
The ensemble cast also features Katie Lowes, Hulu’s Murdaugh documentary star, Chrissy Metz, Dermot Mulroney, and Evan Jonigkeit. Created by Rebecca Cutter and based on May Cobb’s bestselling novel, the series delivered exactly what audiences craved: drama, secrets, and unforgettable chemistry between leads.
Season 2 Promises ‘Steamier’ Scenes
At the Golden Globes on January 11, 2026, Snow pulled back the curtain on what’s coming. When asked about Season 2, she told E! Entertainment’s Justin Sylvester that the show would become “more steamy” than the first installment. She added that the cast had already filmed some shocking scenes and found their groove with the material.
“A lot of things happen this season that are very shocking. It’s gonna leave people very angry but in a sexy way.”

Behind the Scenes of the Birthday Celebration
Snow’s big 4-0 wasn’t spent alone on set. Her fiancé, Hunter Moreno, surprised the actress with a lavish dinner in Charleston surrounded by her Hunting Wives castmates. Malin Akerman and other ensemble members joined the celebration, turning it into a full-blown cast reunion. Photos from the evening show the star beaming alongside her co-stars in what looked like a scene straight out of the show itself.
Snow has been public about her relationship with Moreno, a professional surfer and real estate agent. The two have been together since 2019 and remain one of Hollywood’s most low-key couples, making celebrations like this especially meaningful for the actress who values her privacy.
What Does the Future Hold After Season 2?
Netflix’s The Hunting Wives is positioned to become a major franchise for the streaming platform. With Season 2 confirmed and a September 15, 2026 premiere date, the show will likely maintain momentum heading into fall 2026. Showrunner Rebecca Cutter has promised to take audiences on “another sexy, twisted, crazy ride through Maple Brook.”
Snow faces an exciting challenge ahead. After juggling multiple major roles in 2025—including Netflix’s The Beast in Me (which earned a Golden Globes nomination) and Hulu’s Murdaugh documentary series—she’s proven her range across drama, thriller, and prestige television. At 40 years old, Snow is entering what could be her biggest career chapter yet. Will The Hunting Wives Season 2 make her a household name?
