GLOW has been cancelled. It sucks. For those of you that watched the show and supported it, thank you. I’ve never had so much fun on a job. One day I would be wearing an Elvis costume in a Malibu beach house, standing next to a drug-dealing robot, screaming out wrestling terms in a deranged banshee voice. And then the next day, I’d be on a closed set, acting in a sobering scene about the AIDS crisis and the taboos associated with homosexuality in the 80s. The tone of the show – its ability to swing from larger-than-life comedy to grounded character drama – is part of what made it so special. But the best thing about the show to me, is that when you watch it, you can see just how much fun we were all having. From the performances to the set pieces to the costumes to the hair and make-up to the brilliant writing, it was always So. Much. Fun. I love these actors, these writers, and this crew. I’m forever grateful for the 4 years I got to spend working alongside them. If you never got a chance to watch the show, I’d give it a shot. It’s worth your time. • #glow #aBashHowardProduction

Glow is canceled. And I don’t know exactly where to begin processing this ending. We had such a banger for you this final season. I’m devastated we don’t get to share it and that I won’t get to experience this show again. So much hard work went into making such a special one-of-a-kind dream. Amidst the bizarro-devastating-wrestling-circus of life we are experiencing as reality, this show was the light. Access to the switchboard in the control room. Extremes of joy, pain, support and strength beyond words. Undeniably-intoxicatingly fun. And an imagined world full of hope and literal glitter. The show is so meta and so important to me it breaks my heart and blows my mind. My head is still off my shoulders, but I know that I’m better off because of Glow. Forever saluting our Lycra badges of honor.

before i share my feelings, you must know that the beatdown biddies are pissed and definitely have some asses to kick as soon as they can escape their nursing home rooms. feel free to FaceTime them for a virtual ass kicking. and now, emotions. thank you to the fans that share my sadness at this news on the cancellation of our beloved GLOW. i'm hopeful because of the meta-nature of our show, we will somehow be able to save it for one last go. (Geena Davis, Vegas 2022? Jk) but in case we don’t, please know, i loved every minute of the journey. the glow girls have taught me what inner strength is, what outer strength is, and how good it feels to lift each other up (literally and metaphorically) womens stories are important. BIPOC stories are important. lgbtq stories are important. and wrestling is awesome. liz and carly. you are mad geniuses writers. pitch perfect every word. crew. the best in the business. beth. belts cast. you are my whole heart.  rebekka. i’ll miss edna most of all. marc. never change. fans. i love you. to all. wear a mask. vote. be kind. yours forever, stacey beswick aka ethel rosenblatt aka Nuke #glownetflix #saveglow

I can’t help but feel like I won a super exclusive lottery where the prize was the opportunity to actually do the thing I had been working towards and dreaming of my whole life. The chance to not only be on a deep and dark, diverse, feminist show but to be a crazed clown with the best group of crazed clowns on the daily. Thank you to Liz and Carly for creating the madness and including me. To Chavo, Shauna and Helena for helping me find my strength. To the crew for being top notch while putting up with 14 hours of chants and cheers everyday. To the cast. I wish we had 14 seasons of butts butts coconuts. (Or at least 3 seasons and a movie…) Love you so much and too much. And to @kimmygatewood who is my tag team partner in the comedy ring we call life. I’m not ready for it to be over. #glownetflix 💔💪💔#saveGLOW Oh and please #wearamask and #votebidenharris2020 – The Biddies are definitely high risk.

💔💔💔💔💔💔 I am saddened by @netflix decision to not complete Season 4 of GLOW. We are gutted that you beautiful fans won’t get to see the ending but just know, it would have been everything you wanted to see from us. We are hoping that, by some miracle, we get a movie to finish it off. (STAY TUNED FOR POSSIBLE PLAN OF ACTION #SAVEGLOW). But for now, this is the end. To Liz, Carly, Jenji, and execs: thank you for taking that chance on me and making me Yolanda. Thank you for writing for me and being a true ally in the fight for representation on screen. To Liz & Seth: thank you for giving me the chance to audition for you. You have both changed my career forever. To Chavo, Shauna & Helena: i have been dancing for 25 years and have not ever been so challenged by your moves. I thank you for my bulged disk. No, but seriously, thank you for always believing in me and pushing me past what I thought were my limits. To the crew: thank you for putting up with 15 women at a time. I’m also sorry we were such pains in the ass but we couldn’t have made this without you. To the cast: you are my sisters forever. Thank you for opening your arms to me in ways I only could have dreamed of. We have cried, laughed, farted, wrestled, and snorted all over each other. I couldn’t have been Yolanda without your support sisters and I am in love and obsessed with you all SO MUCH. And to YOLANDA: 🥺🥺 You were the fucking BEST. A stripper, breakdancer, LGBTQ girl of my dreams!!!!! The baddest to ever do it! You gave me confidence that I never knew I had and challenged me physically, emotionally, and mentally!!! I love you FOREVER. THANKS FOR WATCHING US WEIRDOS AND OUR TV SHOW!!! WE LOVE YOU ALL ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
