Ohanian hints at a potential WNBA investment, sparking excitement for a behind-the-scenes look at the league’s biggest stars.
As the excitement around the latest episode of Offseason, hosted by Gotham FC and USWNT star Midge Purce, took social media by storm, fans of the WNBA are now on high alert for a possible similar show centered around their favorite players. Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit and husband of tennis icon Serena Williams, seems to be fueling the speculation.
Following the release of the highly anticipated Offseason episode, Ohanian responded to a fan’s request for a WNBA-focused version of the show. While he didn’t outright confirm anything, his cryptic response on his X platform (formerly Twitter) set the internet buzzing.
What did Ohanian say?
“I cannot comment on any conversations we may (or may not) be having but @100purcent is very bullish on the ladies of the W providing a LOT of offseason entertainment…,” Ohanian shared, tagging Purce in the post.

The comment, although vague, suggests there could be something major brewing for WNBA fans. Could we see a behind-the-scenes look into the lives of WNBA stars during their offseason, similar to the one currently captivating soccer fans? Only time will tell, but Ohanian’s reputation for innovative investments adds to the speculation.
Could this be the WNBA’s big media moment?
With growing attention on women’s sports, the potential for a WNBA-focused version of Offseason could be a game changer. The demand is clear, and Ohanian’s involvement, given his past interest in sports and media projects, hints that this is more than just a passing thought.
