From a haunted house to rural farms, the drama on ‘Mormon Wives’ season 2 plays out at some familiar Utah locations

From Salt Lake to Utah County, these locations served as the backdrop for intense conversations.

(Natalie Cass | Disney) Taylor Frankie Paul and Miranda McWhorter discuss their friendship and the swinging scandal they were involved in through #MomTok on season two of Hulu's "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" at Wilkerson Farm in Orem, Utah.

As audiences gobble up the 10 episodes of season 2 of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” — they’ll see picturesque timelapses of Utah, shots of expansive houses and overviews of downtown and the state capitol.

For locals, these shots that glamorize Utah’s natural beauty will be familiar. As will some of the locations where the most intense conversations happened this season.

Here’s a round-up of them:
