GLOW's Fourth Season Gets Canceled by Netflix Due to COVID-19

Roughly one year ago, Netflix’s series GLOW was given the green light for a fourth and final season. Sadly, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the season and series have been canceled. This is really sad to me as I was loving the show about female wrestlers. It was funny, it was dramatic, it was a lot of fun to watch. However, a spokesperson for Netflix told Variety:

We’ve made the difficult decision not to do a fourth season of ‘GLOW’ due to COVID, which makes shooting this physically intimate show with its large ensemble cast especially challenging. We are so grateful to creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, Jenji Kohan and all the writers, cast and crew for sharing this story about the incredible women of ‘GLOW’ with us and the world.

This really sucks. I understand why it happened, but it doesn’t change how sad it is. Creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch released the following statement:

COVID has killed actual humans. It’s a national tragedy and should be our focus. COVID also apparently took down our show. Netflix has decided not to finish filming the final season of ‘GLOW.’ 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 shitty 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. We’ll miss our cast of weirdo clowns and our heroic crew. It was the best job. Register to vote. And please vote.

Are you sad that we won’t get the fourth season of GLOW?
