Angel Reese is coming off an impressive second season with the Chicago Sky. The 23-year-old averaged 14.7 points on 45,8% shooting, a WNBA-best 12.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals in 31.6 minutes per contest. This reulted in the league naming her an All-Star for a second consecutive season.<\/p>\n

Reese wasn\u2019t able to lead the Sky to success, though. Despite the 6-foot-3 forward\u2019s strong play, Chicago still finished with a 10-34 record. They tied Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings for the worst record in the entire WNBA. The Sky missed the playoffs for a second straight year.<\/p>\n

Reese has been keeping busy<\/a> amid the WNBA offseason. On Tuesday, the former LSU Tigers star\u2019s latest career move was announced.<\/p>\n

The WNBA caught wind of the post and reacted with a two-word statement on Reese\u2019s career move.<\/p>\n

Much like the rest of Reese\u2019s supporters, the WNBA is also looking forward to her small-screen debut.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Hunting Wives\u201d was one of the biggest hits on Netflix last summer. The streaming platform renewed the series for a second season. It brought in a handful of new characters for Season 2, including Reese, who will play a role described as \u201cTrainer Barbie.\u201d<\/p>\n

The series is about a woman who moves to a small Texas town and becomes involved with a mysterious group of wealthy women known as \u201cHunting Wives.\u201d Reese will co-star alongside Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman, to name a few.<\/p>\n

Netflix has not officially announced the release date of the series\u2019 second season. However, the expectation is a late 2025 or early 2026 release.<\/p>\n
