Angel Reese Joins Netflix Frenzy: WNBA Star Begs for More After “The Hunting Wives” Cliffhanger Sends Fans Into Meltdown

Angel Reese isn’t just dominating the basketball court—she’s also diving deep into Netflix thrillers like the rest of us. The Chicago Sky forward recently took to social media to share her frustration (and obsession) with the streamer’s latest hit, The Hunting Wives, and fans are loving every second of her relatable reaction.

Like millions of viewers, Reese was left stunned by the jaw-dropping cliffhanger at the end of The Hunting Wives’ debut season. But while fans were tweeting their theories and demands for Season 2, Reese went one step further—calling on Netflix directly.

“Netflix, don’t play with me. I need Season 2 right NOW,” she tweeted, clearly still reeling from the show’s dramatic finale. The tweet instantly went viral, racking up thousands of likes and replies from fellow fans who echoed her desperate plea.

It’s not every day a WNBA star jumps into the middle of a pop culture frenzy, but for Angel Reese, who’s known for her bold personality both on and off the court, this move fits right in with her growing reputation as a cultural icon. Whether it’s showing out in pregame outfits, starring in national ad campaigns, or now leading the Netflix fan revolt, Reese knows how to make a moment—and connect with fans.

Based on May Cobb’s best-selling novel, The Hunting Wives quickly became a summer sensation. The show follows Sophie O’Neil, a former city girl who relocates to East Texas and finds herself pulled into the glamorous and dangerous world of a secret social club made up of wealthy women with dark secrets—and even darker motives.

The series has captivated viewers with its mix of Southern charm, mystery, and edge-of-your-seat drama. And that season-ending twist? Let’s just say no one saw it coming—including Angel Reese.

“Why would y’all do this to me??” Reese added in a follow-up post. “I got practice tomorrow and now I can’t sleep!”

Fans flocked to the comments to share their own theories and reactions. Some even jokingly suggested that if Netflix doesn’t greenlight a second season fast enough, Reese should fund it herself. Others were just thrilled to see a sports star getting as emotionally invested as they are.

This isn’t the first time Reese has shown love for the entertainment world. In past interviews, she’s mentioned her love for reality TV, crime thrillers, and binge-worthy series—so it’s no surprise that The Hunting Wives struck a chord.

What makes Reese’s reaction even more impactful is the timing. As she continues her recovery from injury, fans have been keeping tabs on her off-court activity, and this spontaneous interaction reminds everyone she’s still very much in the spotlight—even when she’s not lighting it up on the hardwood.

The crossover between athletes and pop culture is nothing new, but it’s moments like these that show how stars like Angel Reese are helping break down barriers. She’s not just a WNBA player. She’s a voice, a fan, and a full-fledged personality who isn’t afraid to join the conversation and make her voice heard—even if it’s about a cliffhanger that’s driving her (and the rest of us) crazy.

And if Netflix is paying attention—which they usually are—there’s a good chance they’ve noticed the Reese Effect. A push from a high-profile figure like her could be just the spark needed to get a renewal announcement rolling.

Until then, Angel—and the rest of us—will be left hanging, wondering what happens next behind the manicured gates and twisted alliances of The Hunting Wives.

Your move, Netflix.
