Netflix Orders 1980s Female Wrestling Comedy Series ‘GLOW’ From Jenji Kohan
Netflix has given a 10-episode order to G.L.O.W., a comedy-series executive produced by Orange Is the New Black creator/executive producer Jenji Kohan and Orange co-executive producer Tara Herrmann.
Created by Liz Flahive (Homeland) and Carly Mensch (Orange Is the New Black), 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 an out-of-work actress who finds one last attempt to live her dreams in the form of a weekly series about female wrestlers.
Flahive and Mensch will serve as showrunners and will executive produce with Kohan and Herrmann.
I watched BrainDead's season premiere last night. IT WAS TERRIBLE. I almost didn't watch the whole thing.
It stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and also brain eating alien ants. I thought OH comedy horror, maybe this will be fun. Anyway, I'll probably watch it at least one more time, but it's not looking promising.
Wynonna Earp starts in the UK this Friday at 9pm on Spike, they are showing the first two episodes. I DONT' KNOW IF YOU GET THIS CHANNEL. Anyway, I really love this show, it is fun and weird.
Adrianne Palicki, who played Bobbi on the ABC superhero drama, has joined Fox's upcoming untitled sci-fi series from Seth MacFarlane, reports Deadline.
The live-action hourlong comedy-drama hybrid, which was ordered straight to series, was written and created by the Family Guy mastermind and follows the crew of a spaceship 300 years in the future. MacFarlane stars as the ship's captain and Palicki will play his ex-wife and the first officer of the ship. Oof, that will be uncomfortable. Voice actor and MacFarlane pal Scott Grimes (American Dad!) will also star, playing the spacecraft's pilot.
