Mickie James was a part of a time in WWE when women were known more for their size than their wrestling ability. She belongs to the Divas Era when they had few prospects and were seen as nothing more than eye candy. The matches were short and the opportunities low. When James saw a new WWE trainee follow that strategy, she couldn’t help but rant about those times. As usual, the clip shook the internet.

Warning: Spoilers for Power Girl #11!

WWE's Rhea Ripley makes a cameo in Power Girl #11, showcasing her gothic-punk aesthetic and intimidating strength. Ripley's cameo reflects her real-life persona, mirroring Power Girl's superhuman strength and empowerment. The crossover creates a perfect fusion of DC Comics and WWE, appealing to fans of both worlds.

When I picked up the latest issue of Power Girl, the last thing I expected was to see a WWE superstar canonized into DC Comics lore. Ever since I was a kid, I've been a wrestling fan. I've drifted in and out of the fandom over the years, but considering I work as a wrestling announcer when I'm not writing about comics, I am firmly in the fandom today.

When former WWE Women's Champion Rhea Ripley made a cameo in Power Girl #11 by Leah Williams and Adriana Melo, I instantly recognized the depiction. While stressing about her first date with a potential super-spy,...

Taylor Wilde came on the scene at Impact Wrestling as a fresh-faced twenty-something, an underdog who stunned fans by toppling Awesome Kong (Glow’s Kia Stevens) to win the Knockouts championship. Taylor went on to have a stellar career before retiring from the sport to become a mom and firefighter. Fast forward a decade and Wilde found her way back home to the Impact ring. Now the Canadian is enjoying a renewed passion for wrestling, looking to leave the upcoming pay-per-view event Hard to Kill in a blaze of glory with a win over Deonna Purrazzo, Killer Kelly, and Masha Slamovich. Here Wilde reflects on her journey, fighting fires and opponents. You found your way back to pro wrestling in 2021 after a decade away. How do you look back on that decision?

It’s morning in Australia which means Aunty Donna’s Big Ol’ House of Fun, Netflix’s new sketch comedy series, has been out for more than a day when we meet the show’s stars over Zoom. The Aussie comedians who comprise the troupe Aunty Donna—Broden Kelly, Mark Samual Bonanno, and Zachary Ruane—are already fielding scathing reviews.

“My mum didn’t care for the ‘Morning Brown’ song,” says Ruane, referring to a rousing musical number—about morning coffee that unfurls into a string of raunchy sexcapades—that kicks off episode two. “I called her on the night of release. I was so proud, so excited. I was like, ‘What’d you think?’ And she was like, ‘That coffee song was a bit much.’”

Although “Morning Brown” is one of the more memorable (good luck not humming it when you make your coffee after watching it) and delightfully unhinged sketches in season one,...

I can honestly say that I have never imagined anything, in my entire life, as chaotic as Aunty Donna’s Big Ol’ House of Fun – the new sketch-based comedy show available on Netflix. This series is brought to you by the creative team called simply Aunty Donna, who I personally never heard of before, and they play strange characters based on themes levels in a weird cartoon-esque world. From my research, I have discovered that this team are based in Australia… and so there are many Australians specific references that I did not understand. I found a video which pointed out all theses references but I still did not understand any of these due to being from the totally other side of the planet. This show does promote this comedy groups which is fundamentally the main purpose that people create Netflix style shows. I believe that the show is a...

Fans of Netflix’s “Glow” were dealt a wallop of a disappointment last month when the planned fourth and final season of the popular comedy series about women’s professional wrestling was axed due to the pandemic. Cast member Marc Maron shortly thereafter stoked fans’ excitement when he suggested that the best way to wrap the series would be a two-hour movie to give the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling one more shot in the ring. Alison Brie, according to a recent discussion as part of The Playlist’s “The Fourth Wall” podcast, shares that sentiment, but is also pessimistic about the return.

“I certainly think a [‘Glow’] movie could tie everything up,” said Brie. “Our creators, Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, are incredible writers. And they’re so devoted to these characters that they created. I think a movie would be a great way to wrap it up. I’m...

The ladies of Glow revealed this week that in addition to fighting as wrestlers onscreen, they were fighting for better representation behind the scenes as well. Star Sunita Mani posted a letter that she and fellow actresses of color sent to Netflix over the summer, asking the streaming platform to improve their experiences on the show and make them feel less "disempowered."  Mani explained on Instagram that the stars of color in the cast had a "raw and personal coming-together" in June to talk about how Glow reckons with race and how to "hold my show accountable." Sydelle Noel, Britney Young, Kia Stevens, Ellen Wong and Shakira Barrera joined Mani in sending an...

Updated with comments from all cast members: The cancellation of Glow is a big loss when it comes to the representation of women on TV. Sydelle Noel, Sunita Mani, Britney Young, Shakira Barrera, Kia Stevens and Ellen Wong recently posted a letter on Instagram addressing the lack of authentic inclusion in the series. They sent the letter to the show producers and creators earlier this year during the show’s hiatus before the cancellation.

Noel, Mani, Young, Barrera, Stevens and Wong all posted personal statements in regards to the show’s lack of authenticity and then posted a unifying letter that, before Glow‘s cancelation, demanded change when it came to the portrayal of women of color.

“We are writing to you today to share some feelings that have been suppressed in all of us for a long time,” the letter starts. “As the principal women of color on a...

Back in June when Glow was on hiatus while in production on what the cast thought would be the fourth and final season of the Netflix series, six of the show’s stars sent a letter to the streaming giant and Glow’s co-creators and executive producers Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch to say, collectively, “we can do better” when it comes to representation and authenticity onscreen.

At the time, Sunita Mani, Sydelle Noel, Britney Young, Kia Stevens, Ellen Wong and Shakira Barrera — all women of color — wrote and signed the letter in hopes of “creating space for change” when the female-powered wrestling ...

Several cast members on Netflix’s now-cancelled series “Glow” have shared a letter they sent to producers asking for changes to be made ahead of the fourth season, such as amplifying the voices of their characters of color and diversifying the show’s all-white writers room.

Sunita Mani, Ellen Wong, Sydelle Noel, Britney Young, Shakira Barrera and Kia Stevens wrote to producers in June after the country’s Black Lives Matter protests and discussions of racial inequality sparked their own revealing conversation about the show not living up to its own standards. They wrote on Instagram that the six female cast members of color had “a raw and personal coming-together” about “our own show’s reckoning with race” and sent their concerns to producers, who were receptive to making changes. Together, they concluded that their non-white “Glow” characters were too often relegated to the background while the show’s white characters,...

Sunita Mani, who portrayed Arthie Premkumar on Netflix’s recently canceled “Glow” comedy series, revealed a letter she and five other cast members sent to Netflix and the show’s producers earlier in the year.

Seen in an Instagram post on Monday, the letter — which was co-signed by “Glow” stars Sydelle Noel, Britney Young, Shakira Barrera, Kia Stevens, and Ellen Wong — noted that though diversity and inclusion were among the show’s core elements, the persons of color on the show had underwritten storylines and were often used to portray racial stereotyping.

“’Glow’ has been marketed as a diverse ensemble, but for all of us diverse cast members, it has never lived up to these ideals,” Mani said on Instagram. “Since Season 1, the show has planted racial stereotyping into our character’s existence, yet your storylines are relegated to the sidelines in dealing with this conflict or have left us...

Will Glow get a proper ending? The cast of the cancelled Netflix TV show is hoping for some closure, possibly a movie to wrap up the series.

Inspired by a true story, the comedy-drama centers on a group of L.A. women who contribute to a low-rated cable wrestling series in the 1980s. The cast includes Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin, Sydelle Noel, Jackie Tohn, Britney Young, Kia Stevens, Gayle Rankin, Sunita Mani, Marianna Palka, Kimmy Gatewood, Rebekka Johnson, Kate Nash, Britt Baron, Marc Maron, and Chris Lowell.

Not too long ago, “Netflix will greenlight anything” was a strong enough meme that it was featured as a joke on actual Netflix shows like Lady Dynamite and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Now that meme is in danger of becoming “Netflix will cancel anything.”

The streaming giant today announced that it has canceled its two remaining Jenji Kohan-produced shows: Glow and Teenage Bounty Hunters, according to Deadline. The latter’s cancellation comes after just one season and the former’s cancellation arrives despite the show previously being confirmed for a fourth and final season.

In the case of Glow, the cancellation comes due to the coronavirus-related shutdowns and the difficulty of producing a highly physical show based on professional wrestling.

“We’ve made the difficult decision not to do a fourth season of Glow due to Covid, which makes shooting this physically intimate show with its large ensemble cast especially challenging,...

“Glow” will not proceed with Season 4 at Netflix as planned, Variety has confirmed.

The Emmy-nominated Netflix comedy series about a troupe of female professional wrestlers had originally been renewed for a fourth and final season, but plans for that season have now been scrapped due to production delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

“We’ve made the difficult decision not to do a fourth season of ‘Glow’ due to Covid, which makes shooting this physically intimate show with its large ensemble cast especially challenging,” a Netflix spokesperson said in a statement. “We are so grateful to creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, Jenji Kohan and all the writers, cast and crew for sharing this story about the incredible women of ‘Glow’ with us and the world.”

The show had been renewed for its last season last year. Production had begun on Season 4 earlier this year but was shut down early on due to the pandemic.

How are the ladies doing in Sin City during the third season of the Glow TV show on Netflix? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Glow is cancelled or renewed for season four. Netflix and other streaming platforms, however, collect their own data. If you've been watching this TV series, we'd love to know how you feel about the Glow season three episodes.

The final bell is ringing for “Glow.” The Netflix series has been renewed for Season 4, which will also be the show’s last.

Series creators, executive producers, and showrunners Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch will return in those roles for the final season, along with executive producers Jenji Kohan, Tara Herrmann, and Mark Burley.

“Glow” is inspired by the short-lived 1980s wrestling TV show of the same name, which stood for “Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.” It follows the fictional story of Ruth Wilder (Brie), an out-of-work, struggling actress in Los Angeles who finds one last chance for stardom when she’s thrust into world of women’s wrestling. In addition to working with 12 Hollywood misfits,...

Betty Gilpin wrestled through a highly competitive Best Comedy Supporting Actress field to earn her second consecutive Emmy nomination for playing Debbie Eagan on “Glow.” Even more impressively, she secured another nomination despite the series dropping from 10 nominations for Season 1 to five for Season 2. Gilpin chose “Mother of All Matches” for her submission to Emmy voters, a strong episode that gives her a lot to do as an actress.

In “Mother of All Matches,” Debbie is struggling with her personal life as her ex-husband’s secretary calls her to ask the make of the bed they shared when they were married. This lights a fire under Debbie as she proceeds to get rid of most of her household items. The only problem is she forgot to pick up her son from daycare in the process. Debbie also fights Tammé (Kia Stevens) in the ring and they bond over the pains of motherhood.

TV fans attending New York Comic Con this fall will get to enjoy several treats, most notably a screening of HBO’s highly anticipated Watchmen adaptation.

I’ve been a fan of Netflix’s Glow show since it first landed a couple of years ago on the platform. It’s a total joyous, wild, funny, gritty and dramatic program that ticks so many of the boxes I look for in my television drama. Oh, and it’s about pro-wrestling, something else I’m pretty damn fond of. So, I was of course clicking the play button the moment Season 3 landed on Netflix this August.

It’s one of those shows where you simply cannot just watch one episode. It’s as binge-worthy as they come, and the whole “just another episode” concept was in full motion when I sat down to watch the new season, and I finished it in two sittings. Season three retains the high quality storytelling that we’ve become accustomed to with the previous seasons, and yet it manages to up the grittiness,...

Glow just debuted its third season on August 9th, but will there be a fourth? Recently, co-creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about the future of the Netflix TV show.

This post contains full spoilers for Glow Season Three, which Netflix released on Friday.

In the closing moments of Glow‘s third season, Britney Young’s Carmen announces plans to leave the show-within-the-show because, she says, “I want to wrestle, and I can’t do that here anymore.”

Carmen’s in a unique position among the Netflix dramedy’s main characters. Almost everyone else fell into wrestling by accident, or for lack of a better option, where Carmen grew up in the wrestling world and loves it for its own sake.

“Glow” Season 3 starts with a catastrophe. As the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling prepare for their Las Vegas stage show debut, Ruth (Alison Brie) and Debbie (Betty Gilpin) go on a local news program to provide live, in-character commentary during a space shuttle launch. Debbie, as her all-American wrestler persona Liberty Belle, touts the superiority of the U.S. space program, while Ruth, as the Russian heel “Zoya the Destroya,” mocks the “puny rockets” as “not even real”… right up until the Challenger explodes, killing all seven crew members and numbing the watching world.

“Shocking” and “uncomfortable” don’t do the scene justice, and viewers will cringe. “Glow” creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch chose to invoke real-world tragedy as an obstacle for their fictional characters. They wrote the episode, constructing this calamitous moment for those watching (in Nevada and on Netflix), and the immediate question — “Why?” — sets a high bar for success,...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the third season of “Glow,” streaming now on Netflix.

What happens in Las Vegas now may stay there, as the infamous tourism slogan claims, but what the characters of “Glow” experience in the Nevada town during the third season of their streaming comedy will certainly reverberate greatly in their lives well beyond the city limits.

The third season of “Glow” kicks off in January 1986, just after the merry band of public access wrestlers have picked up and moved east to perform their show live, nightly, in the fictional Fan-Tan Hotel and Casino. More specifically, it is January 28, 1986, and part of Ruth (Alison Brie) and Debbie’s (Betty Gilpin) promotion for the show is to appear live on-air commenting in their respective wrestling personas on the Challenger liftoff. Moments into their interview, the event turns fatal for the crew aboard the ship,...

Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Betty Gilpin is entering the “Glow” episode “Mother of All Matches” as her 2019 Emmy Awards submission for Best Comedy Supporting Actress. This program streamed June 29 and was the fourth episode of the second season for the Netflix show.

In this installment, Debbie aka Liberty Belle (Gilpin) sells off all of her furniture to get back at her ex-husband. She defeats Tamme (Kia Stevens) for the championship, but the crowd turns on Debbie after the humiliation. Mark (Rich Sommer) confronts Debbie in their now empty house.

It’s the second straight nomination at the Emmys for Gilpin in this role. For the 2019 contest, she is competing against past winners Alex Borstein (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”) and Kate McKinnon (“Saturday Night Live”), returning nominees Anna Chlumsky (“Veep”) and Olivia Colman (“Fleabag”) plus rookie...

The first season of “Glow” received 10 nominations last year, including Best Comedy Supporting Actress for Betty Gilpin. She reveals to Gold Derby on a recent Netflix red carpet (watch the video above) that although she tries “not to think about” awards strategy, she intends to submit the episode “Mother of All Matches” as her showcase for judging on the Television Academy website if she is nominated again. She explains, “That focuses on my character and Kia Stevens‘s character Tammé navigating motherhood — and insanity.”

“We, I will admit, were snubbed last year with Writing, which always hurts our hearts,” Carly Mensch smiles in her joint interview with showrunning partner Liz Flahive (two minutes into the video above). “Glow” has again entered two episodes for Best Comedy Writing consideration at the Emmys this year: “Perverts Are People, Too” and “Nothing Shattered.” Mensch says about the former,...

Through the first pair of seasons on the Netflix show “Glow,” most of the characters have been in search of something. Even as Season 3 transplants the series’ central group of wrestlers to the bright lights of Las Vegas, it sure seems like that’s one thing that won’t be changing any time soon.

The show’s three main characters are all still holding on to a tenuous grasp on cooperation. Ruth (Alison Brie) and Debbie (Betty Gilpin) are navigating their complicated relationship inside and outside the ring.

Sam (Marc Maron) made the trip out to Vegas with the rest of the Glow team, but it seems like he and Ruth haven’t quite gotten over last season’s brush with something a little more than friendship. Ruth’s boyfriend Russell (Victor Quinaz) is also in tow, giving her plenty to juggle when she’s not headlining nightly Vegas shows...

Professional wrestler Kia Stevens turned heads in the first season of Netflix’s 1980s-set comedy “Glow” as Tammé Dawson, a mother by day and champion in the ring at night. In the second season she got to dive even deeper into Tammé’s challenges to be a role model for her college-age son while adopting the sports persona of Welfare Queen on local access television. The fourth episode of the second season saw her son’s first glimpse at his mother’s new life and gave Stevens the chance to show just how detrimental portraying such negative stereotypes can be.

Stevens: “These are things that black women, and black people in general, had to go through in order to gain employment in the entertainment industry. We wanted to illustrate the profoundness and the extremeness of it — how far people had to go to be in the entertainment industry and how...

Adrian Peng Correia admits that taking over as cinematographer for the second season of “Glow” was “an interesting conflict.” On the one hand, you have to “honor something that has already been done for the first season.” On the other hand, you have to “express yourself with camera in a different way.” Correia spoke about his work at Gold Derby’s Meet the Experts Btl panel, hosted by managing editor Chris Beachum. The event took place on Thursday, May 30, at the Landmark Theater in Los Angeles. Watch our exclusive video interview with Correia above.

In addition to working with 12 Hollywood misfits, Ruth also has to compete with Debbie Eagan (Betty Gilpin ), a former soap actress who left the business to have a baby, only to be sucked back into work when her picture-perfect life is not what it seems.

The 15th Annual Gold Derby TV Award winners were announced on Thursday, September 6, during a live webcast announcement (watch it above). These prizes were decided by hundreds of Gold Derby users who arguably know more about the television landscape than a lot of TV academy members. And they spread the wealth when picking this year’s recipients. “The Assassination of Gianni Versace” was the biggest winner with four awards, followed by “The Handmaid’s Tale” with three, but the top series prizes actually went to “Game of Thrones” and “Atlanta.”

“Versace” swept the longform categories, claiming Best Limited Series, Best Movie/Mini Actor (Darren Criss), Best Movie/Mini Supporting Actress (Judith Light) and Best Movie/Mini Supporting Actor (Cody Fern). The last two prizes in that field went to “USS Callister (Black Mirror)” (Best TV Movie) and “The Tale” (Best Movie/Mini Actress for Laura Dern).

Glow season 3, the Netflix ladies wrestling show, starring Allison Brie and Betty Gilpin, will be back on Netflix soon.

Call off the prayer circles! Glow Season 3 has been greenlit by Netflix. The Emmy-nominated series will be back for a Season 3. The announcement was made via the show's official Twitter handle, and the sigh of collective relief could be heard across America.

Glow Season 3 will arrive as another 10-episode frame, which will continue showcasing the world of 1980s syndicated women's professional wrestling, following fictionalized versions of the characters from the real-life wrestling circuit Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (Glow). Likewise, as teased at the end of last season, the third season will see said ladies make their historically-inspired migration from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, where the original series was taped, at the now-demolished Riviera Hotel and Casino (however Netflix still shot the show in L.A.

If you were awaiting word about a third season for Netflix’s Emmy-nominated comedy series Glow — the wait continues.

The writers of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling did a bit of ring-worthy bobbing and weaving when asked during this morning’s TCA presentation whether the next season of the show would take place in Las Vegas.

“We have a lot of dreams for how we would shoot the show,” said Liz Flahive, adding that she had nothing to announce, but added tantalizingly, that she looks forward to “exploring Vegas fully.”

Inspired by the short-lived but beloved show from the 80s, Glow tells the fictional story of Ruth Wilder (Alison Brie), an out-of-work, struggling actress who finds one last chance for stardom when she’s thrust into the glitter and spandex world of women’s wrestling.

In the second season of “Glow,” the wrestling comedy dove deeper into the stereotypes of the women’s ring personas and how they affected the women in their real, daily lives.

“Being a woman’s wrestler, you have to shine in a smaller period of time,” said Kia Stevens at the Netflix Television Critics Assn. press tour panel Sunday, noting that promoters often don’t take women as seriously and give them less time in the ring to tell their story. “Women have to endure so much more to make it.”

Stevens shared that when she first started wrestling she was asked to take the name Amazing Kong (also known as Awesome Kong). Being an African-American woman, that wasn’t something she was comfortable with, but she did it and did it in a way that she could reclaim the name.

“Now they respect and fear that name,” she said.

The best part of watching Glow isn't just the costumes, the talented stars, or the rocking 80's soundtrack - it's the wrestling! Any proper fan of wrestling can appreciate the way Glow gives its audience a look at what it takes to achieve wrestling stardom. Obviously no one is really fighting in wrestling shows or shows about wrestling, but they're definitely being put through the paces. So, it begs the question: is the cast of Glow doing their own stunts, or do they have doubles?

Never underestimate a woman in spandex with feathered hair, friends - Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin, Kia Stevens, and the rest of the cast are indeed actually wrestling. They even went through intense training to do so, getting into the best shape of their lives. In an interview with the New York Post, Brie and Gilpin revealed that since most of the cast...

Netflix unveiled a brand image spot during Sunday’s Bet Awards telecast that highlights black artists who work for the streaming giant.

The spot dubbed “A Great Day in Hollywood” was inspired by the famed 1958 photograph “A Great Day in Harlem” featuring 57 jazz legends — including Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, and Count Basie — on the stairs of New York brownstone snapped by photographer Art Kane.

The Netflix spot from director Lacey Duke features 47 black writers, showrunners, actors, and producers. The plan for the spot and the image campaign stemmed from Netflix’s Strong Black Lead initiative designed to foster an “ongoing, intentional focus to talk authentically with the black audience.” A photo similar to “Great Day in Harlem” was taken earlier this month by photographer Kwaku Alston to commemorate the gathering.

The debut comes just two days after Netflix was rocked by the abrupt departure of corporate communications chief Jonathan Friedland...

The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling are used to being underestimated. As depicted in Carly Mensch and Liz Flahive’s series, the troupe of spandexed warriors was born in a dingy garage when women who couldn’t find a place elsewhere finally discovered support, comfort and even creative inspiration in one another. It tackled a setup familiar to most anyone who’s seen a sports movie — the scrappy underdogs clawing their way to success despite everyone’s doubts — through a distinctly feminine lens. With brash snarls and tender wit, “Glow” reveals the power of women banding together in defiance of low expectations to make something spectacular out of nothing.

Still, over the course of the first season, some of the storylines and characters struggled to break out of their prescribed boxes. It took several episodes for disdainful director Sam (Marc Maron) and enthusiastic playboy Bash (Chris Lowell) to reveal signs of more depth.

Sitting down to review Season 2 of Netflix’s Glow, I tried to settle on the word that best described it, and “hard” was the one I kept coming back to — and not just because that’s the way the sparkly, spandex-clad Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling go at it in the ring, either. Over and over, the 10 superlative episodes serve up painful reminders that relationships are hard. Platonic, romantic, parental… doesn’t matter; all of ’em can lay you flat as surely as a clothesline.

Most of the emotional smackdowns, as in Season 1, are reserved for castmates Ruth and Debbie, played Alison Brie and Betty Gilpin,...
