Katie Lowes talks character’s secrets and fan response to hit series “The Hunting Wives”
Actor Katie Lowes, who plays Jill on the Netflix series “The Hunting Wives,” said the hit show that merges complex relationships and Southern culture has garnered a huge fan following.
“I am getting texts, emails, DM’s from everybody I know and don’t know – strangers and family alike who are obsessed with the show,” Lowes told “CBS Mornings Plus.”
The series debuted in Netflix’s global top 10 and stayed there for five weeks.
“It’s a summer, summer spicy show,” she said. “I think it’s getting a lot of attention because there is an amazing lesbian love story at the front of the show, and I’m thrilled that it’s getting the attention it deserves.”
“The Hunting Wives” tells the story of Sophie, played by Brittany Snow, who moves from Boston to east Texas for her husband’s job. She strikes up a friendship with the charismatic Margo, played by Malin Akerman, and her clique of friends, including Jill. Sophie discovers she doesn’t fit it and things take a turn when a teenage girl is murdered.
In the series, each woman has her own secrets. Lowes said Jill, who is the preacher’s wife and a pillar of the community, “hides her secrets in her hair.”
“Her marriage is horrible and she has a very interesting relationship with her son,” Lowes said about Jill. She enjoys playing “juicy, complicated” characters like Jill.
“I grew up in New York, and when something comes in where someone is going to say yes, like, do something that’s not like you, talk not like how you speak, have an accent, wear different clothing,” she said. “I mean … I’ve been an actress since I was a little kid playing pretend, and it’s the goal. It’s awesome.”
Lowes said she feels lucky, previously starring in shows like “Scandal” and “Inventing Anna.” While many know her as Quinn on “Scandal,” she said that’s changing.
“I have to say I was at the U.S. Open with the ‘Scandal’ family this weekend with Shonda Rhimes there and I was getting a lot of ‘Hunting Wives’ mentions.”
Kelly Clarkson is back on social media nearly one month after the tragic death of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock.
The 43-year-old singer took to her Instagram handle on Thursday and reflected on her American Idol win in 2002.
“To everyone that took time 23 years ago to call in and vote for me, thank you. Winning ‘American Idol’ changed my life and I will be forever grateful for all of you that have supported me for so many years,” Kelly captioned the post, sharing a throwback picture from the season 1 finale episode.
“It is a gift to find your purpose and passion, and to be able to make a living doing it is the cherry on top. Thank you, always,” the Because of You added.
The Instagram post comes nearly one month after the death of ex-husband, Brandon.
The music manager breathed his last on August 7, at the age of 48, after a year-long battle with cancer.
A day earlier, the TV host had canceled her August Las Vegas shows amid Brandon’s illness.
“I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding,” she penned on her Instagram at that time.
Cardi B is candidly opening up about the time she refused to perform at the Super Bowl.
Speaking for Billboard ahead of their new cover story, the 32-year-old rapper touches upon the moment she made the decision.
“I got asked to do the Super Bowl and I denied it. I feel like soon, if I get to do it, I’m going to have more hits. I’m going to be more experienced and I’m going to eat that up,” she said.
This comes as Cardi B awaits her new album Am I the Drama? set to drop this month.
Speaking further of her during a live X Spaces conversation earlier this year, the mother-of-two noted that her album won’t have “a lot of features,”
“I’m working with artists, some that I have worked [with] before and some that I haven’t worked [with] before,” she said.
Lily Collins and husband Charlie McDowell are still going strong after four years of marriage and after the actress’s struggles of being a mom.
The Emily In Paris star took to her Instagram account on Thursday, September 4 to mark her 4th wedding anniversary with McDowell, along with their wedding snap and a photo with their daughter on a beach side.
In the celebratory post, Collins posted a heartfelt note for her husband for his support during her journey as a mother, the couple welcomed their first child, daughter Tove Jane McDowell, back in January via surrogacy.
“Four years ago I married my best friend, and today, we not only have our steadfast buddy @redforddog but our newest and most magical bestie T,” Collins wrote, referring to their daughter. “I cannot express how lucky I feel to be yours every single day.”
“Thank you for being the most incredible dad, wonderful husband, supportive partner, and inspiring other half. You go above and beyond in our family — it’s the big picture things but it’s really, most importantly, the daily little things you do that blow my mind,” she gushed over McDowell.
“I couldn’t have worked, let alone functioned, these past few months without you stepping in and up as you have. With the highs and lows, your steadfast love gets me through and I never could have imagined a life or partnership like ours. To think it’s just the beginning, grateful doesn’t even begin to describe it. I love you beyond,” she added.
