\n\tThe Hunting Wives<\/a> is expanding its social circle.<\/p>\n

\n\tAngel Reese, the two-time WNBA all-star, has joined the cast of the spicy Netflix series for season two. She steps into a co-starring role described as \u201cTrainer Barbie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe\u00a0Brittany Snow<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Malin Akerman<\/a>-starring series that\u00a0became a breakout hit for Netflix this summer\u00a0<\/a>is currently in production in the U.S. After the streamer acquired the series from Starz ahead of its first-season launch, the eight-episode second season will release exclusively as a\u00a0Netflix<\/a>\u00a0branded series in nearly all countries Netflix is available.\u00a0A premiere date has yet to be set. <\/p>\n

\n\tReese joins previously announced new cast members John Stamos, Kim Matula, Alex FitzAlan, Dale Dickey and Cam Gigandet.<\/p>\n

\n\tKnown as \u201cBayou Barbie,\u201d Reese\u00a0rose to stardom\u00a0while leading the LSU Tigers to the 2023 NCAA women\u2019s basketball championship. She plays for the Chicago Sky in the WNBA, where she\u2019s a two-time all-star and made the league\u2019s All-Rookie Team in 2024.<\/p>\n

\n\tReturning cast members also include Jaime Ray Newman, Dermot Mulroney, Evan Jonigkeit, George Ferrier, Karen Rodriguez, Hunter Emery and Branton Box.<\/p>\n

\n\tCreated by Rebecca Cutter, The Hunting Wives is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by May Cobb.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Hunting Wives,\u00a0from Lionsgate Television and 3 Arts Entertainment, landed at Netflix after first being developed as a Starz series. The series about upper class Texan women who like to shoot guns, drink and hit the party circuit \u2014 and who kill people \u2014 was the most-viewed streaming series in the U.S. one month after its July 21 release.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe first season ended on a major cliffhanger<\/a> when (spoiler!) Sophie (Snow), while drinking and driving, crashed her car into Margo\u2019s (Akerman) brother, potentially adding another fatal drunken driving accident to her rap sheet and majorly jeopardizing both her own family\u2019s future, as well as her steamy love affair with Margo. (Read Snow\u2019s recent theories about season two<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

\n\tHere\u2019s the season two logline: \u201cAt the start of season two, Sophie and Margo are on the outs. But soon enough, old secrets and new foes force them back together. As they play their dangerous games the question arises. Are they the hunters or the hunted?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHunting Wives\u00a0is created by showrunner\/writer\/EP Cutter. Executive producers are Erwin Stoff for 3 Arts Entertainment and Cobb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Hunting Wives is expanding its social circle.
