If you’ve been on the hunt for a new series to binge-watch, I’ve got just the show for you—The Hunting Wives, a buzzy new drama based on a novel of the same title by May Cobb. The show follows a former magazine editor (Brittany Snow) who falls into a wealthy socialite's circle full of housewives with lots of dark secrets in their closets.

Starring Paul Teal, Chrissy Metz, Malin Akerman and other notable names, the show is packed with recognizable faces, including one that looks *so* familiar…Katie Lowes. In case you are similarly trying to figure out where you've seen her before, she has been in many noteworthy projects throughout the years, including the popular political drama Scandal (2012 - 2018), where she played Quinn Perkins, aka the “Molotov Mistress,” accused of killing her boyfriend and associates.

Lowes found success early on in 2004 with a role in the FX series Rescue Me, Lowes spent the earlier portion of her career guest starring in shows like The Sopranos, Without a Trace, NCIS and more. She also starred in a number of independent films, including The Job (2009), Bear (2010) and Café (2011). Separately, Lowes and her husband, Alex Shapiro, are among the founders and directors of the Los Angeles-based IAMA Theater Company, with both making their respective Broadway debuts in 2018’s Waitress

The 42-year-old actress also had a main role in the 2022 Shonda Rhimes miniseries Inventing AnnaShe portrayed Rachel DeLoache Williams, the Vanity Fair photo editor who is the former friend of con artist Anna Sorokin, the young woman who pretended to be a German heiress and was subsequently accused of conning Williams out of over $60,000.

In The Hunting Wives, Lowes plays Jill, a preacher's wife and doting mom who is living a double life. 

I’d been wondering where else I'd seen Lowes, and I'm so glad I finally figured it out.
