Heels Reportedly Premiering On Netflix Next Month

Starz’ Heels series is reportedly on its way to Netflix next month. PWInsider reports that the wrestling drama is set to premiere on September 15th after initially being planned to arrive in July. The show is already available in some other countries on the service. Netflix has not officially announced the news, as they haven’t released their new arrivals for September yet.

The report states that Netflix has licensed both series and notes that it is possible (though not a given by any remote stretch) that strong viewership could open the doors to a renewal after Starz canceled the show in September of last year. Mike O’Malley, who created the show and served as showrunner, said in October of last year that they were looking for ways to revive the series.

Heels starred Amell, Alexander Ludwig, Alison Luff, Mary McCormack, Kelli Berglund, Allen Maldonado, Chris Bauer, Trey Tucker, Robby Ramos, Alice Barrett Mitchell, Roxton Garcia, David James Elliott, Joel Murray, CM Punk, AJ Mendez, Josh Segarra and Emmy Raver-Lampman and is described as follows:

Heels is a drama that follows Jack (Stephen Amell) and Ace Spade (Alexander Ludwig), two brothers and rivals who war over their late father’s wrestling promotion, vying for national attention in small-town Georgia. In the ring, one is a villain, or “heel,”; the other a hero, or “face.” Season 2 begins after a spectacular showing at the South Georgia State Fair, the Duffy Wrestling League’s popularity is suddenly on the upswing. Hoping to seize the opportunity, Jack and his cohorts prepare for a possible business deal with a new streaming service that may propel them onto a national stage. But the past and its tragedies threaten to upset everything when Ace leaves Duffy and the Dome in his rearview, and rival promotion Florida Wrestling Dystopia’s vengeful frontman Gully comes calling.
