The new season will follow the women wrestlers in Las Vegas.

Inspired by the short-lived TV show of the 1980s, the Netflix original series tells the story of fictional character Ruth Wilder (Alison Brie), a struggling actress who finds herself in the world of women’s syndicated professional wrestling, along with her ex-best friend, former soap star Debbie Eagan (Betty Gilpin). Along with washed-up B-movie director Sam Sylvia (Marc Maron), Ruth, Debbie and an ensemble cast of “wrestlers” find themselves creating the show and starring in it as the “Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling”.

Season three of “GLOW” follows the gang in their new home of Las Vegas. Now headlining as a stage show at the Fan-Tan Hotel and Casino, the women are dealing with a host of new problems. As Debbie struggles with being away from her young son, Ruth’s personal problems threaten to overwhelm her.
