GLOW renewed for a fourth and final season

The Hollywood Reporter

Creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch will return as showrunners for the 10-episode fourth and final season of the critically acclaimed wrestling drama. Flahive and Mensch spoke last month of ending Season 3 on a cliffhanger. "We have a full story to tell and whether or not we’re idiots for not giving ourselves an ending this season remains to be seen," said Flahive with a laugh in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "We've played it this way every season, where we’ve sort of left it all on the field. This show has a big heart and a big cast and big story to tell, and other people are not going to set that limit for us. We can’t do that, because it wouldn’t be fair to what we’re trying to do. We’d love to have the opportunity to give the show a satisfying ending." Also last month, Variety's Caroline Framke wrote how Season 3 made the case for a great Season 4. Season 3, she wrote, "is the clearest example of how much Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch’s show has evolved in such a relatively short amount of time. Though the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling have now relocated to a glitzy Las Vegas hotel, their stories include far less of the actual wrestling than before. Instead, three seasons in, the show takes advantage of the fact that it’s now freer to move past everyone’s basics and explore their issues in more depth. It also sets up several storylines that could pay off big should GLOW get a deserved fourth season order." ALSO: Alison Brie reacts to the renewal: "I wish I never had to say goodbye to these characters, but I am so grateful to get one more round with our incredible team. You better believe we’re GLOWing out with a bang!"
