Spandex? No problem. Power Bomb? They got this. Go behind the scenes and hear how the cast of GLOW prepared for Their roles and what it takes to become a TKO (total knock out) in this featurette released today by Netflix, featuring interviews with the cast and new footage.
GLOW – Launches Friday, June 23 on Netflix
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.
“It’s a group of brave, beautiful misfits coming together and finding a place where they belong.” Jenny Chey (played by Ellen Wong)
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 producers alongside Flahive and Mensch who are serving as showrunners.
