Mormons Rule TV in 2024: The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and More

Reality TV was the best in 2024 and Our he has only one request for the new year: more Mormons, please.

Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives debuted with a bang in September, he joined Dancing with the stars and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City in representing Utah on the small screen. Viewers were quickly captivated by the MomTok influencers The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives including Taylor Frankie Paulwhich previously aroused interest her soft swinging scandal long before the cameras started rolling on the Hulu series.

“We’re not all swingers,” costar Whitney Leavitt exclusively speaking My Weekly in September, she joked that she “just took influence” from Taylor’s scandal, despite not being directly involved.

Fellow MomTok personality May Neely doubled down on swinger denials, but noted that there is more to Mormon culture than meets the eye. “You can be Mormon and wear a crop top and leggings,” she said. “You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to be the stereotypical Mormon that people think we should all be.”

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives definitely showed a different side of the women in Salt Lake City — but it’s not the only reality show that puts the LDS lifestyle at the fore. Scroll down to see how Mormons stole the TV spotlight in 2024:

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City

RHOSLC she brought her A-game from the beginning, but something shifted at the end of season 4 bomb finale aired in January and featured what could go down in history as the Housewives dinner to end all dinners. Heather Gay designed her own Bermuda Triangle as the women ended their tropical vacation with a dramatic confrontation. “Receipts, evidence, timelines, screenshots. F-ing all” was brought to the table and revealed Monica Garcia he was one of the creators of the Reality Von Tease social media account.

The drama continued in the three-part reunion special — which even included a Mean Girls-inspired by the Burn Book – and kept Our on the edge of our seats before the show returned for Season 5 in September. Monica didn’t return with her fellow housemates, but a few new faces joined the ranks: Bronwyn Newport and Brittany Bateman.

The stakes were higher than ever during Season 5 — and even the husbands are joining in on their husbands’ fights. Heather he gave Our some exclusive insight about how the season ends, teasing in December that the final is “better than Bermuda”. Sign Our up.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives

Hulu introduced Our to MomTok in September and our lives have never been the same. This show has it all — TikTok dances, soft rockinga devout Mormon who threatens to divorce his wife if she goes to a Chippendales performance. One Mormon influencer is considering a vibrator endorsement deal, while another admits to trying ketamine therapy. And yes, “Utah curls” are basically a character unto themselves.

The series was quickly renewed for a second season and caught the attention of some other famous Mormons. “If you’re wondering what the blue coat (from the opening credits) is in the Mormon Church, it literally has nothing to do with it,” Lindsay Arnoldand DWTS pro from Utah, joked in a September TikTok video sharing her reaction to the reality show.

Sister’s Wives star Janelle Brownwho was also born into a Mormon family, he said Our in October that she “dived deep” into the lore of the Hulu series. “The Mormons I know are so conservative,” she explained Our. “They are very salt of the earth, very traditional. These ladies are not traditional.”

Dancing with the stars

Mormons have always had a prominent presence on the ABC ballroom dance competition, but the connection to Utah was even stronger during Season 33, which began in September. Two months later, there were still eight dancers representing Utah at both the professional and group levels. “Utah gang in the dance hall❤️‍🔥,” troupe member Stephanie Sosa with the caption a TikTok video in November alongside his brother Ezra Sosa and others DWTS pros, incl Jenna Johnson, Rylee Arnold and Brandon Armstrong.

Our it used to be dug up why there are so many of them DWTS pros with a Mormon background, and for Armstrong, the answer is simple. “There’s nothing else to do,” he joked during an October podcast interview. “What else are you doing? You talk about our biggest cities like Salt Lake, there’s nothing there. … You play sports, you go to school, you date super young — these guys get married when they’re 19, 20 — and then you dance.”

Sold at SLC

The Sunset for sale-esque reality show is new to Bravo’s rotation, having just premiered in December, but is already in full swing. Only the first episode contained a cameo from RHOSLC star Lisa Barlow (complete with a joke about swingers) and a fight between colleagues about who respects or disrespects Mormons enough. As the Salt Lake City real estate world gets cutthroat, the tension is offset by shots of agents reading the scriptures with their children and a classic tongue-in-cheek cut. in some respects Sold at SLC can even qualify as an educational program – who knew Mormon clients didn’t show their homes to prospective buyers on Sundays?

As Sold at SLC it remains to be seen how he stacks up against other Mormon-inspired heavy hitters, but there’s definitely plenty of drama Our tuning.
