Taylor Frankie Paul Returns to ‘Mormon Wives’ After Production Pause

Taylor Frankie Paul is returning to “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” for its turbulent fifth season … but her participation will be limited, TMZ has learned.

Sources tell TMZ … TFP will be filming the intro credits over the next two days … but she’s not expected to film anything else … meaning no final confessional from her.

This is a huge development … production on season 5 was temporarily halted on the popular Hulu show in mid-March following a heated blow-up between TFP and Dakota Mortensen during filming.

Since then, Taylor has been locked in heated custody battles with Dakota and her ex-husband, Tate Paul, over their three shared children.

‘SLOMW’ stars Jessi Draper, Whitney Leavitt, Jen Affleck, Layla Taylor, and more got together to film a clip Wednesday … in which they danced around to “Big Time Rush” and said they’re “surviving.”

TFP commented … “Looks like thriving to me, I’ll show you surviving.”

Now we know … TFP will get in on the fun today and tomorrow … but again, just to film the season’s intro.

Our production sources tell us they are hopeful and confident the series will be renewed for a sixth season … but Hulu has yet to pull the trigger.
