Get in the ring and get ready to rumble because the Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling are here. These women don't sweat...they GLOW!
Netflix's new comedy series GLOW tells the fictional story of Ruth Wilder (Brie), an out-of-work, struggling actress in 1980s Los Angeles who finds one last chance for stardom when she's thrust into the glitter and spandex world of women's wrestling.
In addition to working with 12 Hollywood misfits, Ruth also has to compete with Debbie Eagan (Betty Gilpin) a former soap actress who left the business to have a baby, only to be sucked back into work when her picture perfect life is not what it seems. And at the wheel is Sam Sylvia (Marc Maron), a washed-up, B-movie director who now must lead this group of women on the journey to wrestling stardom.
The show was inspired by GLOW, a professional women's wrestling TV series that ran from 1986 to 1990 that was, in turn, inspired by Barbella's, Jackie Stallone's women-only gym.
GLOW is created by Liz Flahive (Homeland, Nurse Jackie) and Carly Mensch (Nurse Jackie, Orange Is The New Black, Weeds). Orange Is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan and Tara Herrmann are the executive producers of the new Netflix show alongside Flahive and Mensch who are serving as showrunners.
The ten episodes Netflix series GLOW will premiere worldwide on June 23, 2017. Watch the trailer here.
