"Reese declared the series a "CRAZYYY but good watch" on the social media platform X back in August (despite being unsatisfied with the first season's cliffhanger finale). This caught the attention of "Hunting Wives" creator Rebecca Cutter, who made clear the admiration was mutual and thanked the basketball star for "watching [their] lil ol show." "[J]ust let me know if you need me for season 2," Reese wrote in her response to Cutter with a winking emoji. "On it my queen," replied the showrunner with a saluting emoji."
"'Trainer Barbie' marks Reese's second casting announcement this month. Last week, it was revealed that Reese and fellow WNBA All-Star A'ja Wilson will voice characters in the upcoming animated sports comedy 'Goat,' which touts NBA star Steph Curry among its producers. These projects follow Reese's cameo in Oscar-winning Kathryn Bigelow's 2025 political thriller"
Angel Reese, a two-time WNBA All-Star and Chicago Sky forward, joins Netflix's The Hunting Wives Season 2 in a co-starring role as Trainer Barbie. Reese connected with showrunner Rebecca Cutter on social media after calling the series a "CRAZYYY but good watch" despite dissatisfaction with the first-season cliffhanger. Cutter and Reese exchanged messages that led to the casting. The Trainer Barbie name echoes Reese's nicknames "Bayou Barbie" from LSU and "Chi Barbie" after being drafted by the Chicago Sky in 2024 following an NCAA championship. Reese will also voice a character in the animated comedy Goat and previously had a cameo in a 2025 political thriller.
