The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling are back in the Season 2 trailer for Netflix’s “GLOW,” when the stakes — and hair — are bigger.
Season 2 sees the female wrestlers in the show-within-a-show become local celebrities, which brings out the weirdo fans. That newfound fame might not last for long, however, as cancellation looms in favor of a men’s wrestling show. While it looks like the group might suffer due to Ruth’s (Allison Brie) refusal to sleep with a man in the biz, they aren’t going down without a fight. “I say we do whatever the hell we want to do,” says Sam (Marc Maron), when the show is threatened. “Set the weirdos free and see what happens.”
Watch the trailer above.
“GLOW” stars Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin , Marc Maron, Sydelle Noel, Britney Young, Britt Baron, Kate Nash, Jackie Tohn, Gayle Rankin and Kia Stevens.
Inspired by the short-lived but beloved show from the ’80s, “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, per Netflix’s official description. In addition to working with 12 Hollywood misfits, Ruth also has to compete with Debbie Eagan (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 (Maron), a washed-up, B-movie director who now must lead this group of women on the journey to wrestling stardom.
Season 2 of “GLOW” premieres June 29 on Netflix.
