“Heels,” a professional wrestling TV drama that ran for two seasons before being discontinued in late 2023, will have a new home soon.
The show will be available to stream on Netflix beginning July 29, per a report from PWInsider.
“Heels” follows a brother duo – Jack and Ace Spade – as they compete in Georgia’s wrestling scene. The show, which was created by Michael Waldron and included notable actors Stephen Amell and Alexander Ludwig in main roles, debuted in 2021 on Starz.
The show returned for a second eight-episode season in 2023. Just days after the season finale aired, news broke that the show was among a wave of Starz originals that were cancelled.
When Netflix previously announced that it had acquired the rights to “Heels” earlier this year, reports suggested that the show could potentially see a third season. However, an April story from Deadline noted that the availability of Amell and Lugwig is an important factor in if the show is able to continue.
The addition of “Heels” is a small way that Netflix is adding wrestling content before the platform’s multi-year deal to broadcast WWE’s Monday Night Raw begins.
