What to expect in season 2
Expect more action according to the cast. Speaking to Deadline, Alison Brie said “The first season was all about training. In Season 2, it’s all about shooting the show GLOW,” adding “We’re dressed in our wrestling characters almost all of every episode. It’s a lot more behind the scenes of the making of the show. There’s more on the production side and much less about learning how to wrestle.”

Alison Brie Featured in the Netflix Tour
Alison featured in a bit for Joel McHale’s new show. Although GLOW was only a passing reference, it hints that Alison may have another project at Netflix on the go. If you’re a fan of Alison you’ll know one of her biggest roles was that of Annie in Community. Joel and Alison both appeared in Community so this was a nice bit of fan service to that. Jim Rash also hinted at creating a community spinoff but the idea was quickly shot down. Dammit.
