Netflix is readying its new series for air. As far as trailers go, GLOW packs a lot into its two and a half minutes. Alison Brie has an enemy. Marc Maron is smarmy. Women aren't treated as equals. There are going to be a lot of story threads here. Betty Gilpin costars in the series as well. GLOW will premiere on Netflix on Friday, June 23.
Marc Maron will be a part of the GLOW show from Jenji Kohan
Soon after canceling his own show, Marc Maron is now set to star in the 80's based women's wrestling show, GLOW, from executive producer Jenji Kohan (Orange Is The New Black). Maron will, as the Hollywood Reporter says, play Hollywood director Sam Sylvia who has a weird history with women but is now leading 14 of them through the wild world of women's wrestling. Alison Brie was cast as the female lead just last month. Betty Gilpin is said to costar. GLOW is coming to Netflix sometime in the future.
Alison Brie will star in that "GLOW" series from "Orange s The New Black" creator
Women's wrestling is getting sexier. But try not to sexualize the actress too much. Alison Brie is set to star in GLOW, a series from Jenji Kohan about the 80's wrestling sensation. GLOW, or The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, is a ten episode series that is "is set in Los Angeles and will showcase big hair and body slams and tell the 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." Brie's character is named Ruth, a failed actress who turns to spandex wrestling.
