GLOW star Alison Brie opened up on the possibility of the television series having a proper ending in the way of a film. 

Although Netflix had previously announced that GLOW had been renewed for its fourth and final season, the show was canceled last month. 

The reason for the show coming to an end was due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The streaming service had committed to the fourth season of the show in August 2019. 

Brie expressed doubt that a movie will be made to wrap up the canceled series. 

“I certainly think a movie could tie everything up,” Brie told The Playlist. “Our creators, Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, are incredible writers. And they’re so devoted to these characters that they created. I think a movie would be a great way to wrap it up.

“I’m a little pessimistic about it actually happening just in light of everything that’s gone on this year and how difficult it is to get anything back into production with COVID, and I’m also part of the “Community” cast, who’s been trying to get a movie going for six years, so what I’m saying is don’t hold your breath because if it does happen, it might take a minute.”

It should be noted that Netflix had been trying to find ways to get the show back into production since the pandemic started. If Netflix had attempted to do so then that the season wouldn’t have premiered until early 2022.

The series was inspired by the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling promotion that was started in 1986. It premiered in 2017. 

GLOW Fans & Cast Hope To Save Show, End Series With Movie

News broke yesterday that Netflix decided to cancel the 4th and final season of the hit show, GLOW. The series was a fictional recreation of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling promotion from 1986 to 1989. The streaming service announced it was cancelling the show due to the ongoing global pandemic, however.

Fans of the show are not happy about the decision and neither are the cast. An article in Vanity Fair came out shortly after the decision and blasted Netflix for canceling the show.

Then, show star Marc Maron took to Instagram to pitch a 2-hour movie to close out the series.

“Let us wrap it up in a two-hour Netflix movie. Give the showrunners and the cast and the writers the chance to finish the story in a movie, right? Then it’s all fine,” Maron said. “That would take the financial pressure off and the writers could play it out, we could shoot it out.”

“The reason I was given from the showrunners was basically a financial one in that they didn’t want to pay to keep the sets alive anymore,” he continued.

“They were two and a half episodes in on the day they went into lockdown,” Maron also confirmed.

News broke yesterday that the hit Netflix series GLOW will not return for a 4th season. The next season was set to be the final one for the series but showrunners made the decision to cancel it due to the pandemic. The show not returning will hit former Knockouts Champion, Taya Valkyrie, particularly hard as she was set to join the cast for the 4th and final season.

Taya took to Twitter to release a statement on GLOW’s cancellation:

“To say I’m disappointed would be an understatement. This past February I was cast on @GLOWnetflix S4. This was finally my chance to be seen as an actress, to work with some of the most talented women behind and in front of the camera.”

“I’m heartbroken that the work we did will never be seen and that we didn’t get to finish what had been started. Thank you to everyone that was so nice to me and supportive on set. I guess I’ll just have to wait longer to meet ya Hollywood.”

Although not confirmed, some fans have suggested based on her pictures that Taya was cast as Colonel Ninotchka from the original series.

A Netflix spokesperson spoke with Deadline regarding the decision to cancel the show.

“We’ve made the difficult decision not to do a fourth season of GLOW due to COVID, which makes shooting this physically intimate show with its large ensemble cast especially challenging,” A Netflix spokesperson told Deadline. “We are so grateful to creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, Jenji Kohan and all the writers, cast and crew for sharing this story about the incredible women of GLOW with us and the world.”

• GLOW Canceled By Netflix After Three Seasons

Even though Netflix had previously announced that GLOW had been renewed for its fourth and final season, the show is canceled. 

Deadline reported today that Netflix has changed its decision to renew the show due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Back in August 2019, the streaming service had committed to the fourth season of the show.

“COVID has killed actual humans. It’s a national tragedy and should be our focus. COVID also apparently took down our show. Netflix has decided not to finish filming the final season of GLOW,” series creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch said in a statement. “We were handed the creative freedom to make a complicated comedy about women and tell their stories. And wrestle. And now that’s gone. There’s a lot of sh*tty things happening in the world that are much bigger than this right now. But it still sucks that we don’t get to see these 15 women in a frame together again.”

“We’ve made the difficult decision not to do a fourth season of GLOW due to COVID, which makes shooting this physically intimate show with its large ensemble cast especially challenging,” A Netflix spokesperson told Deadline. “We are so grateful to creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, Jenji Kohan and all the writers, cast and crew for sharing this story about the incredible women of GLOW with us and the world.”

Per the report, Netflix had been trying to find ways to get the show back into production over the last several months, but the problem was that the season wouldn’t have premiered until early 2022. 

Also, there is still uncertainty of COVID-19 in addition to the physical aspect of the show were the reasons for cancellation.

GLOW star Marc Maron had this to say about the cancelation:

The series, which made its debut in 2017, was inspired by the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling promotion that was started in 1986.

Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin, Marc Maron, Sydelle Noel, Britney Young, Britt Baron, Kate Nash, Jackie Tohn, Gayle Rankin, Kia Stevens starred in the series. 

Former WWE Divas Champion, and New York Times Bestseller, AJ Lee has been hired to help bring Netflix’s GLOW to the world of comic books. The third season of the ’80s based show was recently released on the streaming service.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, AJ Lee will be co-writing ‘GLOW vs The Babyface’ alongside actress Aimee Garcia (Dexter, Lucifer). Hannah Templer will be providing art for the series.

Speaking on her new writing position, Lee said:

“As huge fans of the Netflix series, Aimee and I are thrilled and honored to get our hands on the ladies of GLOW. Aimee’s experience in acting and my experience in pro-wrestling makes us a formidable tag team with a unique perspective to truly channel the voices of these hilarious heroines. Our mission as writing partners is to represent diverse, complex, and unbreakable female characters, which is why GLOW feels like the perfect fit.”

Garcia added, “I’m a huge fan of GLOW. I grew up reading comics and never saw myself represented in them, so I’m excited to explore these trailblazing characters and create the change for the next generation. AJ and I are basically writing for our younger selves.”

The first issue of the GLOW comic book will be released by IDW this November.

Netflix has released the official trailer for the third season of “GLOW.”

The series, which made its debut in 2017, was inspired by the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling promotion that was started in 1986 and stars Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin, Marc Maron, Sydelle Noel, Britney Young, Britt Baron, Kate Nash, Jackie Tohn, Gayle Rankin, Kia Stevens.

The new season will be available on Netflix on August 9th. Here is the trailer for the new season:

The series has received critical praise for both season one and season two and has a strong following with their audience. Production started in late 2018 and ran through earlier this year.

It’s already been announced that the setting for the third season of the show will move from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. This comes after the storyline on season two ended with the promotion losing its television contract. However, they ended up being picked up by a promoter looking to put on a live show in Las Vegas.

The show received a nomination for ‘Best Comedy’ for the 2018 Emmy Awards.

The ‘Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling’ still have plenty of work to do in the ring after ‘GLOW’ was officially renewed for season 3 on Netflix.

The streaming giant announced the news on Monday after ‘GLOW’ received critical praise for both season one and season two.

Based loosely on the ‘Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling’ promotion from the 1980’s, the series on Netlix, which is one part comedy, one part drama, was expected to be renewed but the news didn’t come down the pipe until this week.

Since first arriving on Netflix last year, ‘GLOW’ has been praised by both critics and audiences alike.

In fact, ‘GLOW’ received a nomination for ‘Best Comedy’ for the 2018 Emmy Awards with Betty Gilpin — who portrays ‘Liberty Belle’ on the show — being nominated for best supporting actress in a comedy as well.

The third season of the show will move from Los Angeles to Las Vegas after the storyline on ‘GLOW’ season two ended with the promotion losing its television contract but then being picked up by a promoter looking to put on a live show in Sin City.

Of course there’s no word yet if ‘GLOW’ season 3 will actually be filmed in Las Vegas as most of the locations that would have been there in the 1980’s when the show takes place are no longer standing.

Production on ‘GLOW’ season 3 will pick up in late 2018 or early next year with a 2019 debut date on Netflix.

“Ever since the second wrestling game was made, people have been arguing over which is the best wrestling game of all time. But why trust the worthless opinions of people who have never suplexed anyone in their life? Instead, here are the 8 Best Wrestling Games According to Actual WWE Wrestlers”

The hit Netflix show GLOW has been renewed for a second season.

The comedy/drama based on the 1980’s Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling promotion premiered on June 23rd to rave reviews.

Set in Los Angeles in 1985, Ruth Wilder (Alison Brie), a struggling actress, auditions along with dozens of other women in a fledgling professional wrestling promotion called the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (GLOW).

Former WWE creative team member, Nico Gendron, has a lot to say regarding WWE’s backstage attitude during the initial Divas revolution. The writer recently penned a letter for the entertainment website, birthmoviesdeath.com.

Gendron compares WWE’s recent emphasis on women’s wrestling to the Glorious Ladies of Wrestling, and the new Netflix series which dramatizes their story. Highlights:

Why WWE Hired her:

“I was hired at WWE in the summer of 2015, right after they introduced ‘The Divas Revolution.’ In a male-dominated writers room, a female perspective was needed as WWE’s women wrestlers were expected to rise above their traditional role of full-time arm candy and part-time wrestler to share consistent (though limited) air time with their male, Superstar counterparts.”

WWE’s Attitude Towards Women’s Wrestling at the Time:

“I learned quickly that this wrestling dynasty hadn’t caught up to the main cultural dialogue around feminism and female empowerment that was electric outside WWE. With a great deal of ground to cover, I realized I would have to embrace the little victories, like storylines that do not hinge on a disagreement over a male love interest, avoiding dialogue where male Superstars reduce female wrestlers by telling them to shut up or by positioning them as getting in the way of their own success.”

GLOW (Glorious Ladies of Wrestling):

“In comparison, GLOW and the original Gorgeous Girls of Wrestling portray women as their own and each other’s champions. Their gimmicks are self-identified and perfected by their chemistry with one another. This camaraderie defies the historically flawed gender dynamics at WWF and WWE.

Shows like GLOW force wrestling enthusiasts and “girl on girl” fanatics alike to consider just how far women wrestling has come since its inception in a Las Vegas ballroom in the mid-eighties. No longer a sideshow, women wrestlers have demonstrated that they are more than anything, fighters, and deserve a league of their own.”
