GLOW Teaser: Get Ready to Rumble - With Alison Brie???
Carissa Pavlica at .Women don't sweat, they GLOW!
I don't know what is cooler about the premise of this show, the spandex, the glowing wrestling ring or the fact Alison Brie will get inside of it.
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.
No, we don't have a shot of her, nor of the heads of any of the gals who will be taking to the ring. But don't they look amazeballs nonetheless?
What lady among us doesn't want to scream, "Let me in there?!"
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.
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.
Only on Netflix, right guys?
Pick out your sparkly suit and start stretching, because GLOW will be coming to Netflix on Friday, June 23.
