Metz will play "Starr," who is the mother of Abby, a proud working-class woman and staunch Christian.

Ferrier will play "Brad." The Hunting Wives is based on the novel by May Cobb, which tells the story of Sophie and her family's move from the East Coast to deep East Texas, where she succumbs to socialite Margo Bank's irresistible charms - and finds her life consumed by obsession, seduction, and murder.
