WNBA’s Angel Reese to appear in ‘The Hunting Wives’ season 2
WNBA star Angel Reese has officially joined the cast of “The Hunting Wives” for its upcoming second season, months after sharing her passionate reaction to the Netflix hit.
Reese and the streamer made the announcement Tuesday in a joint Instagram post, showing her sitting in a director’s chair on set.
The 23-year-old followed up with a photo of herself posing in front of her trailer, captioning the photo “Coach Barbie” — a reference to her nicknames “Bayou Barbie” and “Chi Barbie” from her days playing with the LSU Tigers and Chicago Sky.
Another post showed a cute clip of her and actor George Ferrier practicing their new friendship handshake backstage.
It’s unclear how Reese will fit into the show’s plot, although photos show her donning what appears to be a Baylor University shirt. Ferrier’s character, Brad Thompson, was preparing to go to Baylor on a basketball scholarship in season 1.
The role comes nearly six months after Reese took to social media to express how “Hunting Wives” is “crazy but good.” After series creator Rebecca Cutter thanked Reese for listening, the power forward responded, “Let me know if you need me for season 2.”
This concert marks another milestone in Reese’s on-screen journey. She had already made an appearance in “A House of Dynamite”, alongside Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson, which sparked her interest in acting.
“I’m going to hire an acting coach,” she told People in September. “I’m already a model, so it’s like adding to my resume. I’m young right now, so I’m going to do it while I’m young.”
Starring Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman, “The Hunting Wives” quickly became a smash hit for Netflix after premiering in July 2025.
The upcoming second season is currently in production, although a premiere date has not yet been set.
