'GLOW' season 2 release date, plot news: Alison Brie shares first look at new season
Get ready for more gorgeous ladies of wrestling. One of the stars of Netflix's "GLOW," Alison Brie, has shared some behind-the-scenes images of the series, teasing that they're already underway with filming the show's second season.
Brie posted a picture of herself on Instagram along with "GLOW" co-star Betty Gilpin. The picture does not only promise the return of the show but it also shows that they've begun filming and fans just need to wait until it comes back.
The Instagram picture shows Brie in casual wear but has the makeup of her character on the show, Zoya the Destroyer. On the other hand, Gilpin is in full Liberty Belle mode. The hostility between the two characters was one of the major selling points of the show.
"GLOW" was created by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch and executive produced by Jenji Kohan. The first season of the show adapted the real-life '80s wrestling league as an inspiration. The series has displayed a knack for mixing humor and sensitive subjects with a lot of panache.
With the show being a critical hit, it was quickly picked up for a second season earlier this year. And now Brie's photo just confirmed that production has started rolling.
It can be remembered that the first season of "GLOW" ended with the first airing of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling within the show, but remained unclear about how it did in the ratings. The real-life GLOW did not last that long, and it's not hard for the series to take this and use it on the show.
Most likely, the series will use the threat of GLOW being axed to drive more drama between its characters. Judging by how season 1 went, the second season might be just as good if not even better.
The last few years have seen Netflix taking its production of original content a notch higher by launching a slew of new films and TV series. This move has placed the streaming channel as the go-to for quality entertainment.
The second season of "GLOW" comes back on the air sometime in 2018 on Netflix.
