Angel Reese Trades Hoops for Hollywood with Role in 'The Hunting Wives' Season 2
Sky forward Angel Reese is taking her acting talents to the big screen once again, this time starring alongside a cast of seasoned soap opera veterans. The WNBA All-Star has landed a co-starring role as "Trainer Barbie" in the upcoming second season of Netflix's hit series 'The Hunting Wives'.
Reese revealed the news on social media, sharing a photo of herself in costume with several sports equipment-related emojis and posting behind-the-scenes shots from the set. It appears that she may have inadvertently sealed her fate for the role, having expressed interest to show creator Rebecca Cutter last summer.
As production gets underway, fans are eagerly anticipating a premiere date for the second season of 'The Hunting Wives'. The first season debuted in July 2025 and Netflix is likely aiming for another summer launch, given the network's history of releasing popular shows during this time period.
Reese's involvement marks her latest foray into Hollywood, following recent announcements about cameos in upcoming animated film "GOAT", which boasts Stephen Curry as a producer, and thriller 'A House of Dynamite'. With each new project, Reese is cementing her status as a rising star with the potential to bring attention to a wide range of entertainment endeavors.

. First, Angel Reese goes from dominating on the court to playing a role that's just...not really her thing, you know? I mean, what's next? Are they gonna ask Shaq to be in some rom-com or something? 
And have you seen the cast for this show? Soap opera vets, huh? This reeks of corporate manipulation 
. They're trying to push a new agenda with Reese and these "seasoned soap opera veterans"...mark my words, there's more to this than meets the eye 
.
she's got some serious acting chops!! i was rooting for her to get more roles after her stint on GOAT, but this one looks even better 
the combo of sports & drama seems like a winning formula 
what do u think about Angel taking Hollywood by storm? 
, I'm not sure what's more confusing - Angel Reese trading in her basketball shoes for movie stardom or the fact that she's now playing a character called "Trainer Barbie" 
. I mean, can't she just stick to being awesome on the court? And what's with all these random cameos? Is this some kind of publicity stunt? 
GOAT sounds kinda cool tho 
I'm so stoked for Angel Reese's next acting gig 
The casting is looking fire, and with Netflix's track record of releasing hit shows during summer months, we can expect this season to be EPIC 
I love how Reese is being proactive about promoting her project – those behind-the-scenes peeks are giving me LIFE 
Can't wait to see her bring Trainer Barbie to life on screen! 
i mean angel reese is super talented on the court but this is like whoa 
? i'm def gonna be watching season 2 of 'the hunting wives' and cheering on angel reese from start to finish 
. this is exactly what we need more of in the entertainment industry - talented, driven women taking risks and pursuing their dreams 
Acting gigs are all about stepping out of your comfort zone & taking risks! Angel Reese is about to shine in Hollywood, and we can't wait to see what she brings to 'The Hunting Wives' Season 2
