Courtesy of Disney While watching the first spinoff of Hulu’s “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” which transplants the action from Utah to the sunny beaches of Orange County, one might start to fear they’re seeing double. One Orange County castmember, McCall DaPron, is a dead ringer for her sister, flagship star Mayci Neeley. One actual O.G. Mormon wife, Jennifer Affleck, has made the move to warmer climes while her home life is in flux. But mostly, the conflicts and cast dynamics on “Orange County” are nearly identical to those on the original “Mormon Wives,” so much so that what separates the shows is more a matter of geography than substance.
