The second season of ‘The Hunting Wives’, the buzzy Netflix series that premiered in 2025, is in production. Many cast members, like stars Brittany Snow as Sophie O’Neil and Malin Akerman as Margo Banks, are returning to sexy, soapy drama, but the second season will also include Reese as a new face. The two-time WNBA All-Star is joining the cast as ‘Trainer Barbie’ in a co-starring role.
Reese shared the news on X, tweeting ‘Trainer Barbie’ with a basketball and several entertainment-related emojis. She also posted behind-the-scenes photos on her Instagram story.
It also seems Reese may have spoken her role into existence. In August 2025, she wrote, ‘Just let me know if you need me for Season [Two]’ to the show’s creator, Rebecca Cutter.
A premiere date for Season Two of ‘The Hunting Wives’ is still pending. Season One debuted in July of 2025, and Netflix could be aiming for another summer lauch for the second season.
This is the second major acting project involving Reese announced within the last week. On January 14, the Stephen Curry-produced movie ‘GOAT’ revealed that Reese and Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson would make cameos in the upcoming film. Reese plays a polar bear named Propp, and Wilson plays a reptile named Kouyate. Curry’s film ‘GOAT’ is Reese’s second movie role. In 2025, the Sky forward made her debut in the thriller ‘A House of Dynamite.’
