Alison Brie to Star in Netflix Wrestling Comedy 'GLOW' From Jenji Kohan

The Netflix series marks the in-demand actress' latest TV role since 'Community' and 'BoJack Horseman.'

Alison Brie is hopping into Netflix's wrestling ring.

The Community and BoJack Horseman favorite has booked the starring role in the streaming giant's Jenji Kohan comedy GLOW, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

GLOW — aka Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling — is inspired by the real story of the 1980s female wrestling league. The 10-episode comedy is set in Los Angeles and will showcase big hair and body slams and tell the fictionalized story of an out of work actress who finds one last attempt to live her dreams in the form of a weekly series about female wrestlers. The comedy is based on the professional women's wrestling syndicated TV series that existed in the '80s. The comedy was picked up to series in May.

She refused to work with me after I kept calling for her to put me in head scissors during our last match.

The exact same thing happened to me and Artie Lange.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Oh lord, this sounds fantastic. I can already seen Brie in the role and it is glorious.

Marc Maron To Co-Star In Netflix Comedy Series ‘G.L.O.W

Created by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, G.L.O.W. was inspired by the real story of the 1980s female wrestling league. Set in Los Angeles and showcasing big hair and body slams, the series tells the fictionalized story of Ruth (Brie), an out-of-work, struggling actress who finds one last attempt to live her dreams when she’s thrust into the glitter and spandex world of women’s wrestling via a weekly series about female wrestlers. Maron will play Sam Sylvia, a washed-up Hollywood director who has a very complicated history with women — and now must lead 14 of them on the journey to wrestling stardom.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Holy ****, now Marc Maron, one of the best comedians alive today, is playing the proxy to David McLain? This show is really going gangbusters.

I hope Chavo Jr. gets to play Mando or the equivalent character, even if it is a minor role.

 

[Kane52630]

Nah man let him play Kerwin White.

 

[Loki882]

NO NO NO!! We never speak about that atrocity of an angle, ever.

 

[Kane52630]

Why not?

 

[Pink Ranger]

Nah man let him play Kerwin White.

NO NO NO!! We never speak about that atrocity of an angle, ever.

That character is what made Donald Trump hate the Latino community.

I almost don't recognize Alison dressed down in frumpy 1980s clothing. I am really looking forward to this show.
