‘The Hunting Wives’ is looking for Charlotte line dancers, stand-ins. How to apply

Fans of Southern style and country rhythm in Charlotte now have a chance to shine on the small screen. Netflix’s “The Hunting Wives” is now casting line dancers for its upcoming second season, filming locally at Coyote Joe’s.

The show, adapted from May Cobb’s best-selling novel, kicked off its first season after filming around Charlotte, with locations near Lake Norman standing in for the fictional Texas town of Maple Brook, CharlotteFive reported.

Now, producers are looking for dancers with “the moves, the style, and a true Southern spirit” to be featured in the hit series, according to a Facebook post from Coyote Joe’s Wednesday. There are also opportunities for extra and stand-in roles, so even if your line dancing isn’t TV-ready, you could still snag a spot in the background.

Here’s what you need to know.

From left to right: one wears a red dress and white jacket; another is in a denim jacket and floral dress; a third is in a black top and jacket; a fourth in a tan jacket and a patterned skirt; and a woman in a pink top and brown jacket. The background is a rural landscape with trees and a cloudy sky
The eight-episode drama “The Hunting Wives” premieres on Monday, July 21, and parts of it were filmed in the Charlotte area. Netflix
