GLOW Season 2 is still awaiting official renewal from Netflix, but star Betty Gilpin is eager to get back into the ring.
Speaking to THR, the actress shared her hopes for the second season of the wrestling comedy:
We have a WhatsApp chat of all 14 of us, and since I’ve been doing this interview I‘ve gotten 10 messages on that group chat. We all talk about how much we miss wrestling. I cannot wait to get back in the ring. But I also think it’s an interesting thing when a character like Debbie, who is used to having status in a conversation — she’s used to being the youngest, prettiest, most successful person in the room — sees that now all of those things are starting to fade. So, what happens to someone whose identity is based on things that fade? What happens to them as they age? Power emerges, and so does inner crazy. The simultaneous emerging of power and inner crazy is an amazing thing, and I think that can make us all understand our mothers a little bit more.
So much of the marketing of the show was wrestling-focused, so I’ve been most excited for people to learn about these women’s lives. Maybe the butts on the billboards will trick the people who wouldn’t normally watch a female-narrative show. They’ll tune in for the butts and stay for the narrative — hopefully.
Will GLOW be out for the count or re-enter the ring for Season 2? Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the cancel/renew status of GLOW Season Two…
