Fans of reality television and Broadway are in for a treat as The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives gears up for its much-anticipated fourth season, set to premiere exclusively on Hulu on March 12, 2026. With a whopping 20 episodes promised for this new installment, viewers can expect a season brimming with drama, personal revelations, and the kind of behind-the-scenes access that has made the show a must-watch since its debut in 2024.
At the heart of the excitement is Whitney Leavitt, whose journey over the past year has been nothing short of meteoric. As reported by PEOPLE, Whitney has promised fans an unprecedented look at her time on Dancing With the Stars (DWTS) during season 4 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives (SLOMW). "People are gonna be able to see behind the scenes of my Dancing with the Stars journey, which I think is really cool," she teased. "Not a lot of people have been able to see that, so I’m excited."
Whitney's path to Broadway was as dramatic as any reality show plot twist. While she was still competing on DWTS, she was secretly sending in audition tapes, hoping for her shot on the big stage. Just two days after her elimination from DWTS, she was invited to audition in person. In a whirlwind turn of events, she booked the role of Roxie Hart in Chicago the very next day. When she received the news, she was with her DWTS partner, Mark Ballas—a Broadway veteran himself, having played Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys back in 2017.
Mark Ballas has been more than just a dance partner to Whitney; he’s been a mentor and a steadfast supporter throughout her rehearsal process. According to PEOPLE, Whitney described Mark as "a huge advocate and motivator for me to go after it and really give it my all." Mark’s advice wasn’t limited to the technical aspects of performance—like preserving her voice and body during grueling rehearsal hours—but also touched on the more philosophical side of performing. His most impactful suggestion? "Live in the moment and be present, because that will be the most enjoyable. And you’ll obviously perform better rather than just anticipating the next thing."
Despite their close bond, Whitney asked Mark not to attend her Broadway opening night, preferring to work out any opening jitters before he sees her in the spotlight. Still, Mark plans to catch her Broadway debut, and Whitney’s SLOMW castmates are set to be in the audience on opening night, making it a true family affair for the show’s stars.
Season 3 of SLOMW was marked by attempts to reunite the MomTok group, a collective of social media-savvy women navigating fame, friendship, and betrayal. Whitney’s return to the group last season was not without controversy—she openly admitted she rejoined SLOMW primarily to secure her spot on DWTS, a revelation that floored her fellow cast members, according to Reality Tea. Alongside her, Jen Affleck also joined DWTS Season 34, with both making waves in the competition. Whitney and Mark Ballas were front-runners throughout, only to be voted off just before the finale. Yet, her DWTS journey opened new doors, leading directly to her Broadway debut scheduled for February 2, 2026.
Whitney’s preparation for Broadway hasn’t just relied on Mark Ballas’s guidance. She’s also sought advice from Ariana Madix, the Vanderpump Rules alum who played Roxie in Chicago for two successful runs in 2024. "My go-to for advice has been Ariana," Whitney shared, highlighting the camaraderie and mentorship that exists among Broadway’s rising stars.
Meanwhile, the SLOMW universe continues to expand. The trailer for season 4, released on January 21, 2026, teases even more high-stakes drama. According to Soap Opera Spy, the new season will address a pregnancy scare involving Taylor Frankie Paul, who is also stepping into the spotlight with a role on The Bachelorette. The trailer underscores how the group’s success is both a blessing and a challenge, with mounting opportunities testing the very bonds that built MomTok in the first place.
Fans are buzzing with anticipation. As Brit + Co reports, excitement is palpable in online communities, with one YouTube commenter calling the show "Such an addictive show! Guilty pleasure," while another lamented, "March is too far away." The show’s ability to keep viewers hooked with its blend of real-life drama and aspirational storylines seems undiminished as it heads into its fourth season.
Returning cast members for season 4 are expected to include not only Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck, but also Demi Engemann, Mayci Neeley, Layla Taylor, and Taylor Frankie Paul. Their stories—intertwined with personal growth, career milestones, and the ever-present challenges of friendship—promise to deliver the kind of emotional highs and lows that fans have come to expect from the series.
For newcomers or those needing a refresher, all three previous seasons of SLOMW are available for streaming on Hulu, with the show also accessible via Disney+. Given the show’s rapid rise since its 2024 premiere, it’s clear that SLOMW has tapped into something resonant: the allure of seeing ambitious women navigate the complexities of fame, family, and personal ambition, all while maintaining the relatable chaos of everyday life.
Season 4’s extended 20-episode run suggests that the producers are confident in the show’s continued appeal. With behind-the-scenes looks at Whitney’s DWTS experience, Taylor Frankie Paul’s headline-making moments, and the ever-shifting dynamics within MomTok, this season is poised to be the most revealing yet.
As the premiere date approaches, fans and cast alike are preparing for another roller-coaster ride. Whether you’re tuning in for the Broadway dreams, the reality TV crossovers, or the candid glimpses into the lives of social media’s most talked-about moms, SLOMW season 4 looks set to deliver. And with the promise of never-before-seen footage and fresh drama, there’s little doubt that the show will continue to captivate audiences across the country.
One thing’s certain: for Whitney Leavitt and the rest of the SLOMW cast, the spotlight has never shone brighter—or more unpredictably—than it will this spring.
