Date announcement video here. G.L.O.W. = Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.

Inspired by the short-lived but beloved show from the 80s, GLOW tells the fictional story of Ruth Wilder (Alison 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, coked-up B-movie director who now must lead 14 women on the journey to wrestling stardom. GLOW, only on Netflix June 23.

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 executive produce alongside Flahive and Mensch who are serving as showrunners.

I am so confused as to why this exists

If you told me they were going to make a GLOW TV show in 2015 I would've laughed you out of the building

Just when I wondered what Alison Brie was up to these days. Will watch.

What song is that? Sounds very 80s dad rock.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Hopefully they maintain the glory of the cheesy singing intros for each wrestler.

Trailer is misleading... Just a date announcement video without any footage.

Perhaps I should have said teaser

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that GLOW, of all things, would be getting it's own miniseries.
