It turns out that the upcoming Jenji Kohan Netflix original program G.L.O.W. isn’t the only upcoming television show based on the wrestling world that fans have to look forward to.
Deadline reports that Paramount TV is developing a wrestling themed show called “Heels” that is set to follow two brothers on the indie wrestling circuit trying to make it. Through it all they are trying to follow in the footsteps of their late father’s legacy as they both compete for control of the wrestling promotion he left behind.
The series has been put on the fast track by Starz and it could potentially be picked up by the network for an eight episode order. Paramount TV has a lot of irons in the fire right now, but they also have a very good reputation as they are currently producing “Shooter,” “School of Rock,” and the upcoming Netflix series “13 Reasons Why” and “Maniac.”
The show is in active development and if it does get picked up for a straight-to-series order by Starz, it can go full NSFW with the language and action in and out of the ring. Although there is no release date just yet, it is certainly something that we will be keeping a close eye on.
