Hulu confirmed that “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” will resume production on season 5, though it’s unclear whether Taylor Frankie Paul will return with the rest of the cast, multiple news outlets report.

The announcement came ahead of Disney’s “Get Real” reality event on Wednesday, but it did not specify when production would begin.

Filming for the series, based in Utah, paused earlier this year following domestic violence allegations against Ms. Paul.



The Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office dropped domestic charges against Ms. Paul after a video showed her throwing a metal stool at her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen and hitting one of her children.

Due to the allegations and legal troubles, ABC canceled the completed season of “The Bachelorette” in which Ms. Paul was featured.

The cast of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” includes Jessi Draper, Jen Affleck, Miranda Hope, Whitney Leavitt, Mikayla Matthews, Mayci Neeley and Layla Taylor.
