WNBA star Angel Reese<\/a> has officially joined the cast of \u201cThe Hunting Wives\u201d<\/a> for its upcoming second season, months after sharing her passionate reaction to the Netflix hit.<\/p>\n

Reese and the streamer made the announcement<\/a> in a joint Instagram post on Tuesday, showing her sitting in a director\u2019s chair on the set.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old followed that up with a photo of her posing outside her trailer<\/a>, captioning the shot \u201cTrainer Barbie\u201d \u2014 a reference to her nicknames \u201cBayou Barbie\u201d and \u201cChi Barbie,\u201d from her times playing with the LSU Tigers and Chicago Sky.<\/p>\n

Another post showed a cute clip of her and actor George Ferrier<\/a> practicing their new friendship handshake behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear exactly how Reese will fold into the plot of the series, though the photos show her donning what appears to be a Baylor University shirt. Ferrier\u2019s character of Brad Thompson was preparing to go to Baylor on a basketball scholarship in season 1.<\/p>\n

The role comes nearly six months after Reese took to social media to express how \u201cCRAZYYYY but good\u201d<\/a> the \u201cHunting Wives\u201d is. After series creator Rebecca Cutter thanked Reese for tuning in, the power forward replied, \u201cJust let me know if you need me for season 2.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

The gig marks another step in Reese\u2019s onscreen journey. She previously made an appearance as herself in \u201cA House of Dynamite<\/a>,\u201d alongside Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson, which sparked her interest in acting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to hire an acting coach,\u201d<\/a> she told People in September. \u201cI model already, so it\u2019s like adding to the r\u00e9sum\u00e9. I\u2019m young right now, so I\u2019m going to do it while I\u2019m young.\u201d<\/p>\n

Starring Brittany Snow<\/a> and Malin Akerman<\/a>, \u201cThe Hunting Wives\u201d quickly became a breakout success for Netflix after premiering in July 2025.<\/p>\n

The upcoming second season is currently in production, though a premiere date has not yet been set.<\/p>\n
