by EG
GLOW is hopping back in the ring.
Netflix has renewed the female-led wrestling series — aka The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling — for a second season, the streaming giant announced Thursday.
The show will return for another 10 episodes.
The series, co-created by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch and executive produced by Orange is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan, stars Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin and Marc Maron. Kate Nash, Jackie Tohn and Kia Stevens — the only actress with wrestling experience — also round out the 14-women ensemble featured on the first season, which released its 10 episodes on June 23.
The critically praised comedy has earned rave reviews and launched during a strong second quarter for Netflix. The streamer added 5.2 million subscribers during the three-month period that saw the return of stalwart series like House of Cards and Orange, along with the release of buzzy new shows like GLOW.
