Alison Brie breaks silence on controversial cancellation of Netflix’s GLOW
Alison Brie has opened up about the shocking 2020 cancellation of her Netflix series GLOW. In 2020, fans of the beloved 80s comedy-drama were left devastated after the popular streamer axed the series – despite being renewed for a fourth and final season.
The series was reportedly three weeks into filming when production came to a halt amid concerns over the COVID outbreak. “We’ve made the difficult decision not to do a fourth season of GLOW due to COVID, which makes shooting this physically intimate show with its large ensemble cast especially challenging,” a Netflix spokesperson told Deadline at the time. “We are so grateful to creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, Jenji Kohan and all the writers, cast and crew for sharing this story about the incredible women of GLOW with us and the world.” The show’s cancellation instantly struck a chord with fans, who took to social media to slam Netflix for its decision.
One user wrote: “Why does Netflix consistently start telling queer stories, not promote them enough and then cancel them? GLOW was such a diverse, interesting and heartfelt show, this is just so sad.” Another user tweeted: “Netflix will really cancel shows like Glow and then spit out more of Emily in whatever and Kissing Booth to pollute the world.
I hate it here.” In a new interview with Decider, Alison Brie reflected on the popular series and revealed that she’s still devastated over Netflix’s decision. “It’s the great heartbreak of my career.
