Starz’s Heels season two episode seven set up the huge showdown between the Duffy Wrestling League and Florida Wrestling Dystopia that will take place in episode eight, the season finale. Episode seven found the Fwd and the Dwl vying for the attention of a Continuum bigwig, with the Fwd getting the upper hand, at least for now. The season’s penultimate episode also saw the Duffy squad pulling together as a family.

And now, the recap:

Ace (Alexander Ludwig) is concentrating on getting his mind, body, and spirit in shape as episode seven begins. But as Ace improves himself, Willie (Mary McCormack) appears to be spiraling down, taking out her anger and frustration on her daughter and husband. She’s been staying late at the Dome every night, and her husband’s fed up with her behavior.

Starz’s Heels season two episode six opens with a brief rundown of what’s happening in the Fwd and Dwl. The wrap-up ends with Ace (Alexander Ludwig) working on a vision board while his mom (correctly) points out that he’s been acting weird recently.

Ace explains that he’s examined his life, and he’s decided he needs room to just reflect and think.

Jack (Stephen Amell), Staci (Alison Luff), and the newly enlightened Ace meet with Brooks Rizzo (Josh Segarra) to discuss his streaming service. After Jack thanks him for making the trek all the way to Duffy, Brooks confirms Continuum needs to grow its subscriber base in the lead-up to a merger with a larger company. Professional wrestling has a huge audience that Continuum would like to tap into.

While the meeting’s going on,...

Ace’s return to the Dwl at the end of Starz’s Heels season two episode four caught all the wrestlers – and Eddie Earl (Joel Murray) – by surprise. And as episode five begins, the mood in the locker room isn’t as celebratory as Jack (Stephen Amell) imagined it would be.

Diego (Robbie Ramos) reminds everyone that in order to be a team, they have to know what’s going on. But, apparently, Jack wanted to keep the debut of The Condamned a secret to increase the shock factor.

And credit where credit’s due – Jack and Ace’s plan worked.

Not everyone’s upset about what went down. Big Jim (Duke Davis Roberts) welcomes his buddy back and promises he’s there as a shoulder to lean on if Ace (Alexander Ludwig) needs it.

Starz’s Heels season two episode four begins with a confirmation that Jack (Stephen Amell) and Staci (Alison Luff) aren’t just going through the paces, they are legitimately back together. Jack even asks for Staci’s opinion on what to do about the Gully situation, and she sides with Willie and Bill, believing Jack will have to make a deal. Or, maybe he can just apologize.

Jack and Staci’s houseguest, Ace (Alexander Ludwig), is totally confused about what to do next. He’s supposed to be long gone – off to bigger and better things – and yet here he is, back in Duffy. Jack reminds him he’s important to the Dwl and vows to work with him as equals. Ace is, understandably, skeptical and wants to put wrestling behind him. (Jack’s sympathetic to Ace’s needs…for once.

Staci Spade, played by Alison Luff, gets more involved in the Duffy Wrestling League (Dwl) in Heels season 2, taking on a role in the Dwl's office. Staci is married to Jack Spade (Stephen Amell), who often prioritizes the Dwl over his own family, causing tension in their relationship. Staci's character development in season 2 includes learning the dark secrets that Jack's late father, Tom Spade, kept from his sons, which further impacts their family dynamics.

Alison Luff is back in Heels season 2 as her character, Staci Spade, takes on a new role in the Duffy Wrestling League. Staci is married to Jack Spade (Stephen Amell), which isn't always easy since he has a bad habit of prioritizing the Dwl over his own family.

In Heels season 2, Jack, his brother Ace Spade (Alexander Ludwig) and the Dwl face a takeover attempt by rival wrestling promoter Charlie Gully (Mike O'Malley) and his Florida Wrestling Dystopia promotion.

A “heel” is the professional wrestling term used for a performer who is supposed to be seen as a villain by the audience. But the truth is often far more complicated, as audiences will see in Season 2 of “Heels,” which debuts on Starz on Friday, July 28. The show follows a family-run wrestling promotion, and the two brothers who have different ideas of how to bring it into the future.

It was August 2021 when Travis Scott and A24 each shared the coffee- and blood-stained script for an unnamed project commencing his production deal with the studio. Details were scant, notwithstanding Variety‘s note that the film would “align with Scott’s upcoming album” Utopia. (The rapper’s fans quickly sleuthed said script’s either called as much or Dystopia.) It was ten months later that Scott posted two Instagram stories with four things that go well together: body armor, guns, masks, and Harmony Korine.

All of which is to say signs were before us that something was cooking, and today we’ve learned Korine directed Scott in an action-oriented feature film “shot entirely in infrared” which recently screened at Metrograph.

Curiously, Metrograph has also advertised for members this coming Sunday’s “only ever screening of a very special filmmaker’s secret new project,” leaving one to wonder if Korine’s...

One of the best Starz series Heels offers a dramatic look at the business of professional wrestling, and the story will continue with the same cast based on the latest Heels season 2 news. The first season of Heels follows the Spade brothers, who run a small-time wrestling promotion in Georgia as they're also dealing with family drama. While most movies and TV shows about pro wrestling tend to accentuate the flashy and unrealistic angles of the industry, Heels pulls back the curtain and offers a much more accurate look inside the squared circle. With actors Stephen Amell and Alexander Ludwig leading the cast, Heels delivers as much excitement as an actual wrestling match.

The critical response to Heels season 1 was overwhelmingly positive (via Rotten Tomatoes), and the show's two lead actors were given especially high marks for their brilliant work inside and outside the ring. It was clear from the...

Starz has released the official trailer for Season 2 of its critically-acclaimed drama Heels, starring Stephen Amell (Arrow) and Alexander Ludwig (Vikings).

"Who's in your corner?" begs the new trailer for the small-town sports drama series based on a wrestling league in rural Georgia. Named after the wrestling term for a villain or antagonist, Heels Season 2 brings fans "back to the family-owned wrestling organization, Duffy Wrestling League (Dwl), where brothers and rivals, Jack (Amell) and Ace Spade (Ludwig), continue to fight over their late father's legacy and their individual versions of success, while also working to find their own identity as a 'face' or a 'heel.'"

Whatever the excavator driver had in mind for his morning, it’s pretty clear it wasn’t this. It’s not yet 8 a.m. on a Saturday in late July, and he’s dodging rocks and full cans of rosemary-grapefruit seltzer being flung from 20 yards away, and screaming at the impassive DeKalb County cop next to him to intervene. “Pull your gun out!” he yells in desperation. “Pull your gun out!”

The driver is here in Atlanta’s South River Forest on behalf of Ryan Millsap, a real-estate tycoon who...

Following the success of “Henry Danger” and its first spinoff, “The Adventures of Kid Danger,” the producers of these shows returned with a second official spinoff in 2020 titled “Danger Force.” This live-action, crime-fighting show is currently in its second season, and fans are loving it.

Banijay Rights has signed a package deal with Nordic Entertainment Group (Nent Group) ahead of the launch of its Viaplay streaming service in the U.S. on Dec. 15.

The deal will give Viaplay subscribers in the US access to a dozen of premium scripted titles from Banijay Rights’ hit Nordic drama titles, including Norwegian culture-clash comedy “Countrymen” which won two prizes at Canneseries last month, and “A Class Apart,” a drama series from Banijay Swedish label Jarowskij.

“A Class Appart” is set at Sweden’s top ranked boarding high school which is home to a secret society for the most affluent students, the Zebra Club. “Countrymen” sees four men with dubious plans move to a farm in the rural Norwegian countryside where, more or less against their will, they end up as the founders of Norway’s first halal cheesemaking business. The series is produced by Banijay Norwegian label Rubicon for public broadcaster Nrk i,...

Dystopia hits an unsettling stride when it edges too close to our reality. And given rapidly advancing, creepier everyday technology, plus the post-apocalyptic vibe of the past few years, this is getting a lot easier to do. This is where films like the upcoming sci-fi "Night Raiders" come in, powerful and ready to hit a nerve. Child soldiers, stolen land, and an ongoing struggle as resistance movements form against the government? The film may take place in the fictional, distant future but this story is obviously rooted in reality.

You can watch the trailer for "Night Raiders" below.

“The world has come to a grinding halt because of the way the economy works and the way the event happened,” Y: The Last Man showrunner Eliza Clark says about what would occur if every mammal with a Y chromosome suddenly died — as happens on the FX on Hulu drama series that premiered this week. ‘Essentially, we would be in big trouble, at least for a little while,” she adds in an interview on the new episode of Deadline’s Hero Nation podcast.

“If the power grid goes down and the highways are choked with cars, and our entire economy runs on trucks and 5% of truck drivers are women,” the Rubicon vet notes of the complex dystopian series based on the acclaimed 2002 comic book of the same name.

“At the same time, even if you have those 5% of women, you can’t drive on the roads at all. Then you...
