Angel Reese is adding another title to her already crowded résumé. Basketball star. Rebounding machine. Walking headline. And now, actress.
Yes, Angel Reese is officially joining the cast of Season two of ‘The Hunting Wives‘, and the internet has thoughts. Lots of them.
If you don’t know The Hunting Wives, don’t worry. Half the internet didn’t either until now. It’s one of Netflix’s sexiest shows and now Angel Reese is stepping into that world like she owns the place.
Angel has never been shy. On the court, she dominates, off the court, she trends. So acting? Honestly, it makes sense. She already knows how to command attention, deliver looks, and handle pressure. Cameras love her. And drama? Please. She’s been dealing with that since college.
The 23-year-old Reese, who plays for the Chicago Sky and is known in basketball for her rivalry with Caitlin Clark, has made no secret of how much she enjoyed the first series of the show.
But it has now emerged that the basketballer will actually have a part to play in the second series, with filming underway.
Netflix announced the news on Tuesday, saying: ‘Angel Reese joins the cast of The Hunting Wives in the co-starring role of “Trainer Barbie”. Season 2 is now in production!’
Reese has, throughout her college and WNBA career, adopted different ‘Barbie’ nicknames. When she played for LSU at college, she was known as ‘Bayou Barbie’ and when she was drafted by the Sky, the nicknamed changed to ‘Chi Barbie’.
Angel Reese ia hyped and cannot wait to show off her acting skills in the season two of ‘The Hunting Wives’.
After watching the series, Reese posted on X: ‘Sooooo will there be a season 2 or more episodes for The Hunting Wives because i’m not satisfied with how that ended…’
She had also posted: ‘Nglllll The Hunting Wives is a CRAZYYYY but good watch.’
The posts didn’t go unnoticed by series creator Rebecca Cutter, who thanked her for tuning in.
Reese asked Cutter to ‘just let me know if you need me for Season 2’ and it appears Cutter took her up on the offer.
Reese shared pictures onto her Instagram story on Tuesday of her on set to film for the show, dressed in athletic clothing.
Details about her role are being kept under wraps. Which means speculation season is open. Will she be a villain? A disruptor? Someone who walks in and immediately flips the storyline upside down? Fans are already casting her in their heads and arguing about it online.
Of course, the pressure is on. Acting is a different game. There’s no scoreboard, no buzzer, no stat sheet. But if there’s one thing Angel Reese knows how to do, it’s show up when people doubt her.
Season two of The Hunting Wives just got a whole lot more interesting. Whether you’re watching for the drama, the plot twists, or just to see Angel Reese in a new role, one thing is clear, she’s not done surprising people.
