We loved talking with ItsBritneyYoung about what's in store for GlowNetflix!

Netflix recently dropped the third season of GLOW. Created by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, the loosely based on a true story series, follows the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, a group of former actors, models, dancers, stuntwomen, and an ex-soap-star who started their own professional wrestling promotion in 1985. Starring Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin, Marc Maron, and Britney Young—among other talents—the comedy series brings us into the middle of the ring and behind the scenes.

I think she’s got it down pat. Especially in the second season, the season when the girls start to get fans—she’s tells them, ‘Look, you always have to be in character. You can’t show these people your real personality; you have to be your wrestling persona.’ She’s always teaching people, always taking over and showing them ‘this is how you do it in the wrestling world.’

Right, that makes a lot of sense. What’s refreshing to me about GLOW is that it does justice to the messiness of reality. And it doesn’t sanitize the history of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. We see these women toying with these archetypes—Machu Picchu and Liberty Bell and Junkchain. I think there’s a lot of interesting play happening with those caricatures, breaking them down.

I do know, too, that one of the plus sides to this truthfulness is that it permeates throughout. It’s not just in the storytelling: it’s in the production design, it’s in the wrestling moves, it’s in the costumes. We’re really trying to be in 1985 in all aspects of this show. I want to switch gears a bit. You’ve spoken a couple times about the roles you’ve had in the past before GLOW and how you’ve sensed sometimes, am I being typecast? Am I being pigeonholed in these spaces? This role is so layered, and Carmen is such an empathetic presence on screen. What first attracted you to the role? Do you and Carmen share any commonalities?
