“There’s no crying in wrestling!” Hollywood Reporter revealed that Academy Award-Winning actress Geena Davis will be a part of the season 3 cast of GLOW on Netflix. Season three of the hit series is set to drop in August and Hollywood Reporter covered the Davis news before her music hits:
Geena Davis is hopping in the GLOW ring when it moves to Las Vegas.
The Oscar and Golden Globe-winning actress will guest star in five of the 10 episodes of the third season of Netflix’s female wrestling comedy, which releases Aug. 9.
Davis will play Sandy Devereaux St. Clair, the former showgirl turned entertainment director of the Fan-Tan Hotel and Casino, which is the show’s third season backdrop. The GLOW wrestlers are the new headliners of the Fan-Tan Hotel, a gig that follows up on a season two finale offer to turn GLOW into a variety-wrestling show.
GLOW (aka The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) is indeed taking over Sin City when the Emmy-winning critical darling returns. The comedy, which was inspired by the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling syndicated series of the 1980s, had been set in 1985 Hollywood for seasons one and two. But the second season finale put the 15 wrestlers — led by Alison Brie and Betty Gilpin — on a bus headed out of Hollywood after their wrestling show-within-a-show was canceled.
Netflix recently revealed what GLOW will look like when it re-sets for round three in Vegas and, on Monday, the streamer also released a first look at Davis’ character (below). A video shared by GLOW on Twitter calls her the “new girl in town.”
