The cast of the recently-cancelled GLOW discussed their interest in making a movie as they reunited for a YouTube livestream event.
The news of the show’s cancellation by Netflix was only revealed last weekend, October 5th, by its creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch. The decision was made due to the COVID-19 pandemic causing production shutdown.
It doesn’t look completely over for the ‘Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling though. The cast, including Alison Brie, Marc Maron, and Betty Gilpin, reunited on October 10th, for a livestreamed Q&A. The event was to encourage voter registration in partnership with voting initiatives HeadCount and #GoodTovote.
Talk soon turned to the possibility of a movie and the cast were quick to show their support for the idea. “I think there’s a petition out there and it would be a very exciting thing that Netflix could do it if they wanted to do it,” Maron said during the panel.
“I think it would probably solve the problem. It would be fun to do, it would be easy to do, but who the f**k knows what they’re going to do. I think it’s a great idea and I hope people rally enough behind it to raise the interests of the executives over there.”
The rest of the cast were unanimous in backing Maron’s statement, responding with a resounding “hell yes.” It’s a hell yes from us, too.
The panel, which also featured Kia Stevens, Sydelle Noel and Britt Baron, also went into notable highlights from the three season show. The cast talked romantic relationships between lead characters and the various storylines that went unexplored.

Gilpin revealed that she and her co-stars scheduled to appear for the voting initiative before they heard Netflix cancelled the show, reversing its fourth season renewal.
“We scheduled this Zoom when we thought we still had a season four so it feels like we invited you to our wedding and then the groom had sex with a cross-eyed cocktail waitress and now we’re all just drunk at the venue together and we’re like ‘enjoy the quiches because it’s over,” she said on Saturday. “If this wedding is now a funeral, let’s make it one of those fun great ones.”
With so many storylines left to resolve and character arcs to explore, we think that a one-off movie is the correct choice for to make. Make it happen Netflix.
