Netflix just released the official trailer for the new comedy series, GLOW, created by Nurse Jackie‘s Liz Flahive and Orange is the New Black‘s Carly Mensch. The comedy set in the world of women’s wrestling is executive produced by Flahive, Mensch, Jenji Kohan, and Tara Herrman, and is set to debut on June 23, 2017.

GLOW stars Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin, Marc Maron, Britney Young, Jackie Tohn, Kate Nash, and Chris Lowell.

The Plot: GLOW tells the fictional story of Ruth Wilder (Brie), an out-of-work, struggling actress in 1980s Los Angeles who finds one last chance for stardom when she’s thrust into the glitter and spandex world of women’s wrestling. In addition to working with 12 Hollywood misfits, Ruth also has to compete with Debbie Eagan (Gilpin) a former soap actress who left the business to have a baby, only to be sucked back into work when her picture-perfect life is not what it seems. And at the wheel is Sam Sylvia (Maron), a washed-up, B-movie director who now must lead this group of women on the journey to wrestling stardom.
