El Rey CCO Says Lucha Underground Season Four ‘Looks Good’

– The Chief Creative Officer of El Rey spoke with IGN at the TCA summer press tour and said that a fourth season of Lucha Underground is looking likely. Skip Chaisson wouldn’t confirm that a fourth season had been ordered but said the show “looks good.” He noted that the network is discussing where to place it on the schedule moving forward, adding that he and love it and can’t wait to make more.

“I can’t emphasize enough just how giving the wrestlers are,” Chaisson said, “and just working with Eric [Van Wagenen, EP] and Chris [DeJoseph, Co-EP] – it’s just so much fun. It’s really tough to shoot, but everybody just gives so much because, for the wrestlers, it’s a different thing for them. Because they are wonderful stage performers but here they get to do stuff they don’t normally get to do, and extend the story and the character. They get to film really cool fight scenes and some have effects. It’s like play time. It’s long like any shoot, but it’s really fun. The wrestlers give 150%.”

“The whole experience is just an awesome amalgam,” he added. “Everybody really likes it and we can’t wait to get back into it.”
