GLOW remains popular despite cancellation after cliffhanger

comicbook.com

The popular Netflix show "GLOW" was cancelled unexpectedly after three seasons, leaving fans disappointed. The series, featuring Alison Brie and Betty Gilpin, focused on a group of female wrestlers in the 1980s. It received critical acclaim and even got renewed for a fourth season shortly after the third one was released in 2019. However, the COVID-19 pandemic caused significant production delays, ultimately leading to its cancellation in October 2020. Filming for Season 4 had just begun when the pandemic shut everything down. By then, only one and a half episodes had been completed. The cancellation wasn't just due to COVID-19 but also financial constraints. Continuing the show would have required costly safety measures, which were too risky given its audience size. Additionally, a long break between seasons was expected to hurt viewership, with fans already waiting potentially until 2022 for the final season. The third season ended on a cliffhanger, with characters facing challenges in their personal and professional lives. Many fans were eager to see how the story would continue, especially after the emotional synopsis revealed by the show's lead, Alison Brie. Despite its abrupt ending, all three seasons of "GLOW" remain available for streaming on Netflix.
