Gorgeous ladies, get ready! Netflix has officially renewed GLOW for a third season. (Some spoilers for season 2. If you haven’t watched it, skip ahead to the other links!)
The series’ second season packed a heavy emotional punch and ended with a shakeup, with the GLOW team heading to Las Vegas to continue as a live show after their #MeToo-related cancellation.

Season two ended with Ruth (Alison Brie) telling Sam (Marc Maron) that she’s never been to Vegas. His reply was to tell her “You’re gonna hate it.” The show’s co-showrunners Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch have previously commented on that exchange, saying Vegas was chosen as the setting for season 3 it “not a purely optimistic place.”
As they described it, “it’s a place that makes us deeply, deeply uncomfortable and that was exciting for us to take the story, and the women, there to see what happens.”
I cannot wait to see what these women do to Vegas!
