Netflix Orders GLOW Episodes

We noted earlier this month that GLOW (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) owner Ursula Hayden had announced a deal for a full new season of GLOW TV on Netflix, to be executive produced by Jenji Kohan, creator of Netflix's "Orange Is The New Black" series. The Wrap reports that Netflix has ordered 10 episodes of GLOW, which will focus on a 1980s female wrestling promotion

The show, which was co-created by Liv Flahive of Homeland and Carly Mensch of OINTB, is inspired by the real story of GLOW and will be set in Los Angeles. The fictionalized story features an out-of-work actress who finds one last attempt to live out her dreams in the form of a weekly series about female pro wrestlers.
