Wrestling Show “G.L.O.W.” Will Debut on Netflix June 23

G.L.O.W. (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) will officially be released on Netflix on June 23. All 10 episodes will be released at once.

The show will be a “comedy-drama” and is based on the incredible 1980s wrestling promotion, Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, and will star Alison Brie as a wrestler.

It’s “inspired by” the 2012 documentary, “GLOW: The Story of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.”

Netflix’s description:

Big hair. Body slams. It’s 1980s Los Angeles in this comedy series, and an unemployed actress keeps her dream alive by portraying a female wrestler.

Plot description via Deadline:

G.L.O.W. was inspired by the real story of the 1980s female wrestling league. Set in Los Angeles and showcasing big hair and body slams, the series tells the fictionalized story of Ruth (Alison Brie), an out-of-work, struggling actress who finds one last attempt to live her dreams when she’s thrust into the glitter and spandex world of women’s wrestling via a weekly series about female wrestlers.

I also very highly recommend watching this incredible video of the intro for an episode of (the original) GLOW:
