Angel Reese is coming off an impressive second season with the Chicago Sky. The 23-year-old averaged 14.7 points on 45,8% shooting, a WNBA-best 12.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals in 31.6 minutes per contest. This reulted in the league naming her an All-Star for a second consecutive season.
Reese wasn’t able to lead the Sky to success, though. Despite the 6-foot-3 forward’s strong play, Chicago still finished with a 10-34 record. They tied Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings for the worst record in the entire WNBA. The Sky missed the playoffs for a second straight year.
Reese has been keeping busy amid the WNBA offseason. On Tuesday, the former LSU Tigers star’s latest career move was announced.

The WNBA caught wind of the post and reacted with a two-word statement on Reese’s career move.
“We’re ready 🤩” the league commented.
Much like the rest of Reese’s supporters, the WNBA is also looking forward to her small-screen debut.
“The Hunting Wives” was one of the biggest hits on Netflix last summer. The streaming platform renewed the series for a second season. It brought in a handful of new characters for Season 2, including Reese, who will play a role described as “Trainer Barbie.”
The series is about a woman who moves to a small Texas town and becomes involved with a mysterious group of wealthy women known as “Hunting Wives.” Reese will co-star alongside Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman, to name a few.
Netflix has not officially announced the release date of the series’ second season. However, the expectation is a late 2025 or early 2026 release.
