The wives are still hunting. And now, it’s for the Emmys.

Variety has learned exclusively that the Lionsgate and 3 Arts Entertainment produced series, which streams on Netflix, will submit in the comedy categories for consideration for this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards.

Add it to the growing list of shows blurring the comedy/drama divide at the Emmys, where genre continues to be a head-scratcher (and maybe that’s the point). Based on May Cobb’s bestselling novel, “The Hunting Wives” has always been a tonal hybrid, with a glossy, provocative dramedy that rides the line between social satire and psychological intrigue with equal commitment.
