Here We ‘GLOW’ Again — Hit Netflix Show Renewed For A Second Round

Get the glitter out, girls, because “GLOW” will be returning to your life imminently.

Is anybody surprised that Jenji Kohan’s sparkly 80s comedy about a team of female wrestlers is in high demand? Not me. In a lot of ways, losing yourself in a world of strong women engaging in choreographed hand-to-hand combat is the perfect escape from a reality comprised of nuclear war threats delivered via tweet and Justin Bieber’s canceled tour.

The show, which features proud members of the tribe Marc Maron, Alison Brie, and relative newcomer Jackie Tohn, doesn’t have a premiere date yet but Netflix has promised us 10 more hours of women wearing tight leotards and holding each other in headlocks. Plot details haven’t been leaked but the show’s Facebook page featured this 10 second preview of what’s to come:

If the first 10 episodes of its premiere season didn’t convince you to tune in for another, that lip color should do it.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.

With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.

The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.

Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
