Netflix renews 'GLOW' for a second season

Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Netflix says it has ordered a second season of GLOW, its women's wrestling dramedy starring Alison Brie.

The show debuted on the streaming service this year and 10 more episodes are now on the way.

GLOW was created by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, who executive produce the series and serve as show-runners.

"Set in 1985 Los Angeles, GLOW follows Ruth Wilder, a struggling out-of-work actress as she auditions for, trains and eventually makes the first-ever women's wrestling TV show," a synopsis said. "Inspired by the short-lived but beloved show from the '80s, GLOW is a Cinderella story with body slams."
