Angel Reese is continuing to expand her brand off the court.

Netflix announced the news on Tuesday that they have tabbed the Chicago Sky star Reese for a co-starring role in their drama series “The Hunting Wives.” Reese will be appearing in season 2 of the series as a character named “Trainer Barbie.”

The 23-year-old Reese also confirmed the news in a post to her X page.

Reese, now a two-time WNBA All-Star, had an eventful 2025 season with the Sky. She averaged an excellent individual line of 14.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. But Chicago finished tied for the worst record in the league at 10-34, and Reese was also causing some major internal drama by the end of the year.

Now with the 2026 WNBA season looking uncertain at best thanks to a stalemate in negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement, Reese is making sure to keep busy from a marketing standpoint. A few months ago, the former LSU national champion also made history by walking in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

On top of that, Reese has continued to be proactive when it comes to filing for trademarks. Now she can add a Hollywood acting role to her growing personal portfolio as well.
