Whitney Leavitt to Star and Produce Her Own Reality Series for Hulu After Leaving 'Mormon Wives'
Reality star Whitney Leavitt will headline and executive‑produce a new unscripted series on Hulu, marking her first solo project after exiting The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
Whitney Leavitt, known for her role on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, is set to front and executive‑produce a new reality series on Hulu. The announcement follows her departure from the Mormon Wives franchise after five seasons. Leavitt will develop the show through her own Leavitt Media House, partnering with Hulu’s Get Real division. The move signals her transition from ensemble reality star to solo content creator. Fans and industry watchers are watching to see how her brand evolves on a major streaming platform.
What happened
Hulu confirmed that Whitney Leavitt will star in and serve as an executive producer on a new unscripted series, with production handled by Leavitt Media House and Hulu’s Get Real team. The series was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter, which noted Leavitt announced the partnership on Instagram with a joint post referencing the upcoming show. Leavitt’s departure from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives was announced earlier this spring after five seasons, and she has since hinted at a solo project. In addition to the Hulu series, she has been added to Peacock’s The Traitors and will debut in the Netflix holiday rom‑com All For Christmas.
Why it matters
Leavitt’s move gives her unprecedented creative control, allowing her to shape the narrative and branding of her own show, which could set a precedent for reality stars seeking ownership of their content. For Hulu, adding a recognizable personality strengthens its unscripted lineup and may attract the existing Mormon Wives fanbase, boosting subscriber retention. However, the series’ success will hinge on whether audiences connect with Leavitt outside the ensemble format, a test that could influence future star‑driven reality projects.
- Leavitt gains creative control over her brand.
- Hulu adds a recognizable reality personality to its slate.
- Potential cross‑platform promotion with her other projects.
- Risk of audience fatigue with reality formats.
- Uncertain reception without the ensemble dynamic.
- Production costs for a new series may impact Hulu’s budget.
How to think about it
View the new series as a test case for personal brand expansion in streaming unscripted TV. Track its promotion, audience metrics, and any cross‑promotion with Leavitt’s other appearances to gauge whether similar deals make sense for other reality talent.
