Making her name as the nerdy, yet naughty Annie Edison on Community, Alison Brie has found herself far away from the halls of community college and instead in the ring as a female pro-wrestler.
Starring in GLOW, a Netflix series based on the 80s all-women pro-wrestling team of the same name who found stardom when they had a brief stint on television, Brie plays a “struggling actress in LA who stumbles into an audition for the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (GLOW),” reports VICE.
Nice name, huh?
It doesn’t take long for Ruth Wilder (Larson) to don some spandex and put people in chokeholds, and soon, she becomes one of GLOW’s leading ladies.
She fires up a rivalry with Debbie Eagan (played by Nurse Jackie‘s Betty Gilpin) and forges a bond with ringmaster Sam Sylvia, played by Maron.
At the wheel is Sam Sylvia (Marc Maron), a washed-up, B-movie director who now must lead this group of women on the journey to wrestling super stardom.
Over to the trailer, which contains some bad language:
Even I had a few laughs during that.
The show’s creators, Carly Mensch, Jenji Kohan, and Tara Herrmann, all worked on Orange is the New Black.
Your binge can officially begin on June 23. You’re welcome.
