WNBA star Angel Reese is making her mark in the entertainment world as she joins the cast of Netflix’s hit series “The Hunting Wives” for its highly anticipated second season. Known for her basketball prowess, Reese is now stepping into the acting world, taking on the role of “Trainer Barbie”. This marks a significant move for Reese, who has already begun to make waves outside of the basketball court.
According to Netflix and reports from Queen City News, WNBA star Angel Reese has officially joined the cast of Netflix’s hit series The Hunting Wives as filming continues in Mooresville, North Carolina.
Filming for “The Hunting Wives” is currently underway, with production taking place in Mooresville, North Carolina, where the small town is being transformed into the fictional Texas location of Maple Brook. The show is a dramatic whodunit, filled with twists, suspense, and captivating socialite characters. Reese’s role as Trainer Barbie has fans excited, and she’s received praise for her ability to transition from sports star to an actor.
Angel Reese’s involvement in the show isn’t just a random casting. She’s become known for her “Barbie” monikers, which started with “Bayou Barbie” during her college years at Louisiana State University, followed by “Chi Barbie” after being drafted by the Chicago Sky in 2024. This new role aligns with her growing list of entertainment endeavors.
In the Netflix series, Angel Reese will star alongside Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman. The show’s success, particularly after its July 2025 premiere, quickly made it one of the most-streamed series in America. As the show delves into the lives of a close-knit group of women in East Texas, Reese’s character adds another layer of intrigue to the already intense drama.
In addition to her acting role in “The Hunting Wives,” Reese continues to expand her career in Hollywood. She recently appeared in Netflix’s 2025 political thriller “A House of Dynamite” and will voice a character in the upcoming animated movie “Goat”. With her multifaceted talents, Reese is quickly becoming a rising star in both sports and entertainment.
As filming for the second season progresses, Netflix fans are eagerly awaiting to see how Reese’s character unfolds in the series. Fans of the show, as well as Reese, can look forward to an exciting new chapter of “The Hunting Wives” when it releases later in 2026.
