EXCLUSIVE: Dermot Mulroney (My Best Friend’s Wedding, Anyone But You) has been cast in the upcoming Starz drama The Hunting Wives in a series regular role alongside previously announced co-leads Malin Åkerman and Brittany Snow. Production will begin production this spring in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Mulroney will play Jed Banks, a fifth-generation oil man, alpha millionaire and the husband of trophy wife Margo (Åkerman). Above all else, he’s a ladies-man who loves nothing more than bringing guest stars into their marital bed. And although he’s considering a run for Texas Governor, he’s determined not to let public service get in the way of their good time.
