Could aGLOWmovie really happen? Fans were geared up for the fourth season ofGLOWfeaturing its stellar female-led cast when the streaming giant suddenly reversed its decision andcanceled the show after three seasons.The sudden cancellation was a blow to theGLOWfandom as it became clear there would be no resolution to the various storylines left open at the end of Season 3. In the days afterGLOW’s cancellation,cast memberMarc Maronsuggested a Netflix movie should be madeto help tie up all the show’s loose ends. While there has been no official word on whether plans actually exist to make aGLOWmovie, series alumAlison Brierecently shared her insights on the matter.
Brie, who has been withGLOWfrom the beginning, opened up about the possibility of amovie while speaking withThe Playliston an upcoming episode of their podcastThe Fourth Wall. When the topic of the show’s cancellation and Maron’s comments came up, Brie expressed interest in the idea of a movie. She remarked, “I certainly think a [GLOW] movie could tie everything up. Our creators, Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, are incredible writers. And they’re so devoted to these characters that they created. I think a movie would be a great way to wrap it up.”
But, ever the realist, Brie went on to express doubts about the likelihood of aGLOWmovie ever coming to fruition. She toldThe Fourth Wallpodcast, “I’m a little pessimistic about it actually happening just in light of everything that’s gone on this year and how difficult it is to get anything back into production with COVID, and I’m also part of theCommunitycast, who’s been trying to get a movie going for six years, so what I’m saying is don’t hold your breath because if it does happen, it might take a minute.”
Brie concluded with a slightly melancholy reaction toGLOW’s cancellation, tellingThe Fourth Wallpodcast, “It’s definitely a bummer. I’m going to miss playing with those incredible women and Marc Maron and Chris Lowell. But you know, we’re so lucky. We’re lucky that we got to make three, to me, perfect seasons of a show. I love it so much and it will live on Netflix forever. So people can still check it out.”
