Chicago Sky star Angel Reese is starting 2026 the exact way she ended 2025: On fire. Reese’s acting skills are growing with each project.
The WNBA star is fresh off stealing the spotlight at an NBA London game when she dropped even more news this week. Reese has joined the cast of “The Hunting Wives,” Netflix announced on Tuesday.
“Angel Reese joins the cast of The Hunting Wives in the co-starring role of ‘Trainer Barbie,’” Netflix posted on X. “Season 2 is now in production!”
The “Trainer Barbie” character is a clear play on Reese’s real-life nickname. Angel Reese went from Bayou Barbie to Chi-Town Barbie. The name comes from Reese’s glamorous appearance, on-court dominance, and playing in Baton Rouge and Chicago. Now, she is taking her talents to the big screen. The streaming platform also posted Angel Reese in a “Hunting Wives” chair.
