The cast of Mormon Wives is reportedly gearing up to film season 5 after production was halted due to Taylor Frankie Paul’s domestic violence investigation.
On Tuesday, multiple sources told TMZ that the stars of the popular reality TV show have “resolved” concerns about filming following a recent alleged altercation between Paul and ex Dakota Mortensen.
The cast reportedly expects production to resume “within a few weeks,” but they are also said to be asking Hulu chiefs to start production as soon as possible so production delays don’t affect summer plans.
Sources said in a social media post that the cast members were “trying to pressure ABC into greenlighting new episodes by increasing viewer expectations.”
However, sources told TMZ that Hulu executives have not yet made a decision on the future of Season 5 or the series as a whole.
Page Six has reached out to Hulu for comment.
Premiering in 2024, The Secret of Mormons stars Paul, Jennifer Affleck, Macy Neely, Jesse Draper, Leila Taylor, Mikayla Matthews, Whitney Leavitt, Miranda McWhorter and Demi Engeman.
TMZ’s update comes after McWhirter’s ex-husband, Chase McWhirter, said the shooting is “kind of up in the air at this point.”
“I hope they do. All the other women have a lot of great stories and storylines that aren’t being told. I think that’s a great thing for them to explore,” he said on Tuesday’s episode of Harry Jowsey’s podcast, “Boyfriend Material.”
“So I think we should, but we’ll see,” Chase added.
Last month, it was confirmed that the cast had stopped filming due to an investigation into a domestic violence incident that occurred in February 2026 between Paul, 31, and Mortensen, 33, and their 2-year-old son, Ever.
At the time, the Draper Police Department told PEOPLE that “the allegations go both ways,” and that “contact was made with the parties on the 24th and 25th[of February].”
A few days later, it was revealed that several cast members went to ABC executives and claimed that they did not feel comfortable filming with Paul while the investigation was ongoing.
“This is a dangerous situation, a sad situation, and Taylor is our friend, so we don’t know how to get through it,” one unidentified cast member reportedly said during a Zoom call with executives.
Several members of the cast also reportedly described Paul’s actions as “heartbreaking” and “upsetting.”
After filming was paused, a video surfaced on March 19 showing Paul attacking Mortensen with a metal chair while his daughter Indi was in the room during the 2023 incident.
At the time, Paul was arrested and pleaded guilty to aggravated assault under a deal that would reduce the charge to a misdemeanor if he complied with the terms of his three-year probation.
In response to the video, ABC canceled Paul’s season of “The Bachelorette,” which was scheduled to premiere days after the video leaked.
After the exes were involved in two more domestic violence investigations, Mortensen filed for and was granted a restraining order against Paul.
In return, Paul filed for a temporary restraining order against Mortensen, accusing her ex of assault, harassment, and stalking.
In a court hearing Tuesday, a Utah judge ruled that Paul has limited “supervision” of visitation between her and Mortensen’s son, Ever, and that Mortensen has temporary custody of the 2-year-old.
