FIRST LOOK AT STARZ' HEELS RELEASED

Starz revealed the first look at their forthcoming series Heels today:

The one hour Starz drama is built around the story two brothers, one a babyface and the other a heel inside the ring, and the struggles they have both on camera and behind the scenes after the death of their father, the promoter of the Georgia-based wrestling promotion they both work for and have now inherited.  It has been filming for several months in Georgia.

Back in 2017, CM Punk impressed casting directors so much that he tested for the series for the role of the heel brother, Jack Spade, but was not hired as the project was put on hold.  Amelll was cast in that role when the series was revived and in a piece of irony, Punk will now be playing a rival to Spade on at least one episode.

Longtime wrestler and stunt actor Luke Hawx (Logan, The Fate of the Furious) is the wrestling coordinator for the series. 

PWInsider.com has been told a number of other wrestlers including Doc Gallows, Steve Richards, Perry Hawx and J Spade have also filmed roles for the series.
