“Booked & Busy !!! 🏀👗🎬” Reese’s mom wrote while quoting the original post.
The second season of the movie is expected to be released this year. Fans can watch Reese in the second season alongside stars Brittany Snow, Malin Akerman, Evan Jonigkeit and Katie Lowes.
Angel Reese herself is even a fan of the show and previously gave the creator, Rebecca Cutter, a shoutout on X by asking for a role for the second season.
“Just let me know if you need me for season 2 😉,” the WNBA star had replied to Cutter’s tweet back in August 2025.
Now, it appears her wish has finally come true and it will be interesting to watch how Angel Reese stars in the show when the second season premieres.
