Storrie and co-star Hudson Williams have been featured at major events like the Golden Globes and the 2026 Olympic Torch Relay. Storrie has also secured luxury brand ambassadorships with Saint Laurent and Tiffany & Co. and appeared on the cover of *The Hollywood Reporter*’s Power Stylist issue. The show’s second season is set to premiere in spring 2027, with filming scheduled for August. Reid announced her upcoming seventh book, *Unrivaled*, part of the *Game Changers* series, will release in 2027.
