Fans of the squared circle and scripted drama can mark their calendars for July 29th, as Heels will make its way to Netflix.
The featured actor, Stephen Amell, takes center stage as “Jack Spade” in the series, alongside appearances by notable wrestling personas including ex-WWE Champion CM Punk and AJ Lee.
Although the series was met with acclaim from its audience, it faced an untimely cancellation post its second season on STARZ, which left the show’s narrative in limbo.
Thankfully, Netflix has entered the scene to offer the show a new platform. Recently, they acquired the broadcasting rights for both seasons one and two of Heels, though a third season currently isn’t in the cards from Netflix.
Until recently, it was uncertain when Netflix would make Heels available to its subscribers. However, it’s been reported by PWInsider that fans will be able to stream the wrestling drama starting Monday, July 29th.
Mike O’Malley Remains Optimistic About “Heels” Future
Despite the show’s cancellation, Heels executive producer Mike O’Malley hasn’t lost hope.
In a recent discussion with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner O’Malley expressed his intentions to search for a new home to continue the narrative. Affirming that contracts for cast members are still in place, the possibility of a third season remains contingent on finding a willing network.
“Yeah, we are actively doing it right now. Some of the actors are still under contract. Obviously, the [writers’] strike just ended. I couldn’t have any conversations about this [until now] and they just informed me on Friday. But not only are we trying to find a new network, I really believe the Starz executives when they say they want to see a future for the show too, because they invested a lot in the show… I really do think it’s going to have a life somewhere else.”
