How Alison Brie Feels About A Potential GLOW Movie
The cancellation of Netflix favorite GLOW has left fans devastated, but many are holding out hope that the show's storylines will be resolved in a film. While the show had previously been renewed for a fourth season, production was suspended last spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the show was ultimately canceled.
"COVID has killed actual humans," series creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch told Deadline about GLOW's cancelation. "It's a national tragedy and should be our focus. COVID also apparently took down our show...We were handed the creative freedom to make a complicated comedy about women and tell their stories. And wrestle. And now that's gone. There's a lot of s***** things happening in the world that are much bigger than this right now. But it still sucks that we don't get to see these 15 women in a frame together again."
A GLOW movie could take a while
GLOW star Alison Brie thinks that a movie could be a great way to wrap things up and give fans some much-needed closure. "I certainly think a [GLOW] movie could tie everything up," she said on The Playlist's podcast The Fourth Wall. "Our creators, Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, are incredible writers. And they're so devoted to these characters that they created."
Brie may be on board with the idea, but she also warned fans not to get their hopes up. "I'm a little pessimistic about it actually happening just in light of everything that's gone on this year and how difficult it is to get anything back into production with COVID, and I'm also part of the Community cast, who's been trying to get a movie going for six years, so what I'm saying is don't hold your breath because if it does happen, it might take a minute," she said.
Brie added, "It's definitely a bummer... But you know, we're so lucky. We're lucky that we got to make three, to me, perfect seasons of a show. I love it so much and it will live on Netflix forever. So people can still check it out."
