TVLine reports that Netflix has ordered ten episodes of the news series G.L.O.W, the scripted comedy series inspired by the 80s wrestling promotion Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. It was created by Jenji Kohan (Orange is the New Black).
G.L.O.W. was created in 1986 as a women-only wrestling promotion, and became an unscripted syndicated series that ran until 1990. It later continued through select events and parties. The new series is set in Los Angeles and includes “big hair and body slams”. It’s described as a “fictionalized story of an out-of-work actress who finds one last attempt to live her dreams in the form of a weekly series about female wrestlers.”
Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, who created the series, will be the showrunners and executive producers with Kohan and Tara Herrmann.
