Netflix is set to launch an exciting new reality series, W.A.G.s to Riches, on January 22, 2025. This eight-episode series will explore the lives of nine women who are not only romantically linked to high-profile sports and entertainment personalities but also successful in their own right.
Redefining the term "W.A.G.s"
Normally, the abbreviation W.A.G.s, or "wives and girlfriends," is used to refer to the female partners of professional athletes and celebrities. But this show refutes that traditional stereotype. All the ladies that appear in W.A.G.s to Riches are career-oriented, independent, and hardworking women.
According to cast member Porsha Berto, the previous W.A.G. motto was something like, "I’ll be a kept woman.” But now, “I’m making my money. That’s the new W.A.G.”
Taking place in vibrant Miami, the show is a dramatic depiction of the lives of these women and their struggles to juggle work, children, and relationships.
