Glow: Netflix cancels wrestling drama over coronavirus despite final season beginning shooting
GLOW, Netflix's female wrestling dramedy, will not be returning to the ring for a fourth and final season. The streamer has reversed its renewal decision, made more than a year ago, in August 2019. The series starring Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin and Marc Maron, has become the latest casualty of the coronavirus-related production shutdown.

Netflix in August made a similar decision not to proceed with previously commissioned second seasons of The Society and I Am Not Okay With This `due to circumstances related to COVID.`

GLOW, which has earned 15 Emmy nominations and three wins during its run, was inspired by the short-lived but beloved 1980s show. It tells the fictional story of Ruth Wilder (Brie), an out-of-work, struggling actress in 1980s Los Angeles who finds one last chance for stardom when she's thrust into the glitter and spandex world of women's pro wrestling.



Creators Flahive and Mensch served as showrunners and writers and executive produced alongside Kohan, Tara Herrmann and Mark Burley.

Season 3 followed the ladies of GLOW as they take the Vegas strip by storm. Now headliners at the Fan-Tan Hotel and Casino, the women quickly realize that Sin City is much more grind than glitter. Ever the team cheerleader, Ruth's passion for the show begins to take a back seat to her increasingly complicated personal life.
