Earlier this week, Netflix announced GLOW was canceled. This hits fans and the cast pretty hard for several reasons. First up, Season 4 was slated to be the series' final season, and so had been scripted as a farewell. Secondly, production had already begun! The crew had shot one and half episodes, but then was shut down by the pandemic.
Series creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch told Deadline, "There's a lot of sh*tty things happening in the world that are much bigger than this right now. But it still sucks that we don't get to see these 15 women in a frame together again."
GLOW stars Kate Nash, Alison Brie, Chris Lowell, Jackie Tohn, and Sunita Mani shared reactions on social media.

While Maron initially tweeted what Mae rightly describe as "a shrug come to life," he then got to musing on Instagram in a 33-minute video. In it, he reflects on the press's mischaracterization of the death of his lover/Glow director Lynn Shelton, the state of our nation, and--to the point of our focus here--the idea of making a GLOW movie.
Kate Nash shared this excerpt on Twitter, calling on fans to show their desire for a proper sendoff.
I agree with @marcmaron about saving @GlowNetflix and the squirrel 🐿 retweet if u agree, fuck it let's be actual glow girls and #saveglow pic.twitter.com/nNQWFR130f

"Okay so you don't want to do the show anymore," Maron says, "But let us make a movie. Right? I mean, let us wrap it up in a two-hour Netflix movie. They had the whole season laid out. You know, we know sort of where it's going to go. Why don't you give the showrunners and the writers and the cast an opportunity to finish the story in a movie? Right? I mean, I think that would be the best thing."
The video was shared by other cast members, including Britt Baron, Britney Young, Kimmy Gatewood, Rebekka Johnson, and Marianna Palka.

Under the hashtag #SaveGLOW fans are battling back for the critically heralded womens' wrestling show that was full of humor and heart.

Oh @netflix. It makes no sense whatsoever. We'll wait. Just like the entire world has been and will continue to do. Make @GlowNetflix season four happen. Even if it's in 2030. Serve the story. Finish the story. It's literally your one job, and you can do it. #GLOW #saveglow pic.twitter.com/X0VJ2BKTZK
