Taylor Frankie Paul says she no longer wants to continue with Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, reversing her reported return for Season 6. Her decision follows public disagreements with cast members, including Mikayla Matthews, who said she would not film if Paul returned, citing ethical concerns involving children; other cast members appeared to support Matthews.

Paul accused the cast of bullying and targeting her while she faced ongoing legal and personal difficulties, although she also acknowledged that her past actions had consequences. Season 5 premiered on 10 September with only five episodes after production was paused, while Hulu had ordered 20 more episodes intended for Seasons 6 and 7; it remains unclear how production will proceed.
