Dermot Mulroney on his ‘naughty’ Netflix show ‘Hunting Wives’

He’s got his cowboy hat on. 

Dermot Mulroney may be best known for “The Wedding Date” and “My Best Friend’s Wedding,” but his new Netflix show “The Hunting Wives” is like “the anti rom-com” — according to the actor.

“They don’t have any romance, and they don’t have any comedy….except love affairs and naughty sex,” Mulroney, 61, exclusively told The Post.

“[It] takes itself just seriously enough that you can find all sorts of ways to look at it,” he explained. “You can see it as a serious drama, or you can take it a little lighter, or at least a little bit over-the-top right in their styles in their choices.” 

The soapy drama is based on the 2021 novel and follows Sophie (Brittany Snow), who moves with her husband, (Evan Jonigkeit), from Massachusetts to Texas.

Sophie soon ends up entangled in the web of her new friend Margo Banks (Malin Akerman), the Queen Bee leader of the local community. Margo presides over a clique of moms and socialites who like shooting guns and dancing with men half their age. 

Jed (Mulroney) is Margo’s husband, who is contemplating a run for the Governor of Texas. Although Margo is having affairs with younger men and women alike – and Jed is also seeing other women – the couple knows about each other’s activities, and neither of them has a problem with it.

“I’m running for governor of Texas, so we don’t take that lightly, but I’ve got somebody who’s kind of running me, and her name is Margo Banks,” the “Scream VI” actor told The Post.

“We are definitely a power couple in the upper social echelon down there in the oil country in Texas.”

“The Wedding Date” actor called the novel a “page turner.”

“I think they expanded Jed’s role somewhat in the television series. Really, Jed is a man who makes his own decisions, but he is very much and perhaps toxically tied to his wife,” he explained. “They share goals. So, they have that in common.” 

The “Chicago Fire” actor quipped that although Jed and Margo’s relationship isn’t a typical romance, “When you’re lying to the police about what your wife is doing…that can be considered love.” 

“The Hunting Wives” also stars Jaime Ray Newman, Katie Lowes, George Ferrier and Chrissy Metz. All eight episodes are available to stream.
