Mike O’Malley On His Plan To Shop Heels Around After Cancellation

Mike O’Malley recently weighed in on the decision to shop Heels to other networks following the show’s cancellation. As reported last month, O’Malley — who is the showrunner for the wrestling drama — revealed that they’re seeking a new home after it was canceled by Starz. O’Malley was on Busted Open Radio, and you can see some highlights below:

On his plan to shop the show elsewhere: “We want to save Heels and we want it to go on someplace else. If there is an opportunity for Heels to go on in the future on another platform … we would want that support to save Heels. We were bummed out when we found out Heels was canceled on Starz. We worked really hard on it, but this is what happens in show business a lot of times”

On his goal with the show: “Heels was a show about taking a look behind the curtain at people who love wrestling and want to devote their life to it. We want to examine some of the reasons why people do it and some of the cost and the rewards of those things.”
