Whitney and – Whitney Leavitt and Conner Leavitt say production for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 5 will resume after a March pause, with Whitney calling it her last season and Conner saying Hulu has cut it down to five episodes.
Whitney Leavitt and Conner Leavitt didn’t wait long to update fans—especially after the fifth season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives went quiet.
Production on season 5 was paused back in March amid allegations of a domestic incident involving Taylor Frankie Paul and ex Dakota Mortensen. In April, the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office ultimately declined to press charges against Taylor, 32. After the news broke that the charges were dropped, production was set to resume.
Whitney, 33, addressed what that means for the season on Thursday, June 25, during Trisha Paytas’ “Just Trish” podcast. “It’s not completely wrapped up. We just need to finish out the season, which will finish soon, and then that’ll be my last one,” she shared.
Conner, 32, offered a sharper warning about how shortened the season will be. He claimed that Hulu has “cut the season short … five episodes only.” Conner added that the production plan is now focused on getting everyone back for interviews and “wrap[ping] up a couple of things. ” describing the end result as an “abbreviated season” tied to what already happened publicly.
There’s also the personal layer. Whitney confirmed in May that she would be leaving the show. and she’s still in the thick of what comes next. In her “Just Trish” comments, she said she feels good about where things stand with her fellow MomTok influencers. “I feel the support. I feel like this is literally the first time ever I’m, like, good with everyone. It’s a breath of fresh air. No drama,” she said.
Whitney had already made her exit clear with a direct message to fans in an Instagram video. “You’re going to want to sit down for this video. I am leaving The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Take a minute. Take it in,” she said. She added, “Just to be very clear, I am finishing season 5. So yes, I will be in that season. But also yes, it will be my last.”.
In that same post. Whitney reflected on how long the journey has been building for her. tying the reality series to her broader push toward theater and film. She also said. “I feel content. ” and described the moment as “a chapter that’s closing” while thanking the show for opportunities she’s seen play out.
Whitney has one season left to finish—despite the production disruption that forced the show to pause—and Conner believes the final version will look markedly different than fans expected. For now, season 5 is heading toward a wrap, and Whitney is already telling viewers the next chapter is next.
