One Orange County castmember, McCall DaPron, is a dead ringer for her sister, flagship star Mayci Neeley.

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.

The latter camp includes some women whose ties to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are truly tenuous, like deadpan podcaster Bobbi Althoff.

Althoff’s brother converted to Mormonism as an adult, though her casting presumably has more to do with her sizable online following than religious affiliation. The plot beats derived from this internal split are nonetheless eerily familiar, pitting Pinterest-ready traditionalism against forward-looking modernity.

Then again, no one on the first “Mormon Wives” is in a relationship as unorthodox as that of O.C. YouTuber Aspyn Ovard, who’s in a full-on throuple.

As job descriptions like “podcaster” and “YouTuber” imply, “Mormon Wives” remains a text about internet fame first and religion a distant second. (Althoff isn’t even the only professional talker in the ensemble; she’s joined by comedy host Avery Woods.) In lieu of “#MomTok,” the existing friend group of synchronized lip-synchers who provided a ready-made subject for a reality show, Orange County assembles a loose constellation of acquaintances.

The common denominator is theoretically Affleck, who claims the crew are friends she made while filming “Dancing With the Stars” in Los Angeles. But what unites these women is really their ability to turn their social media profiles into an income source, and the effect that money has on their most intimate relationships.

Former child actor Madison Bontempo, a doe-eyed mother of five whose candid disclosures about her traumatic upbringing instantly earn our sympathy, films sponsored content while her husband Kyler makes questionable investments and complains that she’s “emasculating” him. A therapy session between Ovard and her ex to work on their coparenting arrangement descends into a screaming match when she offers to support him financially.
