Mormon Wives' Careers Explode, Production Faces Jenga!
18 Mar
Summary
- Reality show cast members achieved major success in diverse fields.
- Producers adapted filming schedules around stars' new opportunities.
- The show's structure was altered to accommodate a star's Bachelorette role.
The production team behind 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' is adapting to the rapidly expanding careers of its cast members. Executive Producer Jeff Jenkins likened the complex scheduling to a game of Jenga, as stars achieve success in diverse fields including writing, Broadway, and major reality competitions like 'Dancing With the Stars.'
Filming for the show has been significantly impacted by these opportunities. For instance, a star's role on 'The Bachelorette' necessitated a restructured filming approach. To maintain confidentiality surrounding 'The Bachelorette,' seasons were designed as 'bookends' to the star's participation, capturing her life before and after the dating series.
Jenkins expressed pride in the cast's achievements, emphasizing that the show's continuation depends on the cast's willingness to share their lives. He noted the growing prominence of "DadTok," the husbands' segment, as a reflection of shifting gender roles in America, with women becoming the primary breadwinners. However, he clarified that the show's core focus remains on the women's narratives.
