Netflix’s Glow to enter the squared circle for a fourth and final season

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Netflix has announced that the upcoming fourth season of GLOW will also be its last. The Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch-created series toplined by Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin and Marc Maron has steadily developed into a fan favorite event for subscribers to the streamer, ever since making its Season 1 debut in June of 2017. For the past three seasons, GLOW has chronicled the fictional story of Ruth Wilder (Brie), a down-and-out actress in 1980s Los Angeles who discovers her last shot at the big time thanks to the glitz, glam and glittery world of women's pro wrestling.

Upon auditioning for the wrestling troupe, Ruth comes into contact with 12 eager ladies who are looking to throw down for their chance at fame in front of the camera. With the odds stacked against her, Ruth all but gives up on her chance to join the cast, that is until a scorned Debbie Eagan (Gilpin) enters the ring. With fire in her veins and daggers in her eyes, Debbie pummels Ruth in front of everyone for meddling in her relationship and destroying what she thought was the start of a perfect life. As it turns out, this bout was precisely what was needed for both women to be considered for the gig. Meanwhile, lording over the ladies with sass and judgment is Sam Sylvia (Marc Maron), a shifty B-movie director whose job it is to lead the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling toward their destiny in becoming wrestling sensations.

The third season of GLOW found the ladies making their way to Las Vegas, where they've become a headlining act of the Fan-Tan Hotel and Casino. They say that whatever happens in Vagas stays in Vegas, but the ladies soon discover that Nevada's Sin City is full of ups and downs, some of which will chew you up and spit you out if you're not careful. With a number of challenges still to overcome, the rough-and-tumble women of GLOW will put their fourth and final season in a full-Nelson sometime in 2020.
