Reese Witherspoon just shared a major career update, and it’s sure to excite her fans.
Earlier this year at Cannes Lions, The Morning Show actress announced Sunnie, a new Gen Z-skewed sister label to her media and production company Hello Sunshine, which she described as a “celebration of young women’s creativity, curiosity and agency.” The company is set to work with a range of Gen Z creators and celebrities, and will feature exclusive book clubs and digital magazines.
On August 21, Witherspoon took to Instagram-stories to announce two major updates with the company: “Sunnie Issues,” their new digital monthly magazine curated by Gen Z that includes personal essays, expert advice, deep dives on STEM and more, and “Sunnie Playbooks,” which she describes as a “personal pep talk meets a journaling session.” The playbooks will include research-backed, downloaded guides with tools and activities to help navigate stress and spark creativity.
If Witherspoon’s current ventures are any indication, then Sunnie is sure to be a success. Case in point: her super-popular book club, which just unveiled its pick for August. The latest selection is Once Upon a Time in Dollywood by debut author Ashley Jordan, which she announced on Instagram, sharing that she read the book “in one sitting.”
“I have one great last summer read for you,” Reese said in her video. “It’s funny, it’s real, you feel like you’re talking to one of your best friends.” One fan commented, “I absolutely loved it!! Also finished it within two days.” Another wrote, “YASSS!! This book is sooo good!!” A third chimed in: “LOVE!!! This was one of my favorite reads of the year.”
The book follows Eve Ambroise, a rising playwright who, after a rough year and some major life shake-ups, flees to the Tennessee mountains for a writing retreat that gets derailed when she meets Jamie Gallagher, a single dad next door, with whom she begins a casual fling.
And with fall on the horizon, we can expect plenty more exciting updates from Witherspoon.
