Netflix's GLOW Cast Announce Season 2 With Pop Video Teaser
Go GLOW go!
The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling are coming back. Netflix has confirmed that the acclaimed comedy drama GLOW, which is centered around the '80s all-female wrestling cable show of the title, will return for its second season this summer. It has also released a new teaser.
The teaser is styled as an '80s pop video and shows all the main characters, including Ruth (Alison Brie), Debbie (Betty Gilpin), Cherry (Sydelle Noel), Carmen (Britney Young) and Rhonda (Kate Nash) getting ready to hit the ring. They are lip-syncing to the sounds of Michael Sembello's classic song "Maniac," which featured in a similar sequence in the movie Flashdance, and there's an appearance from their grumpy manager Sam, played by comedian Marc Maron. Check it out above.
GLOW Season 2 will hit the streaming service in its entirety on June 29, and like Season 1, will consist of ten 30-minutes episodes. The cast also includes Jackie Tohn, Britt Baron, Chris Lowell, Bashir Salahuddin, and Rich Sommer.
In an interview with TV Line last November, Gilpin spoke about preparing for this season's many wrestling scenes. "The cast took a lot of wrestling lessons for Season 1," she said. "But the preparation this time around was more intense, because we picked up where we left off. I mean, I just had a wrestling match with a character that won't be named, and a week later, I still feel like my soul was in a five-car pileup accident. And it feels amazing."
