The 92nd Steet Y, a big cultural hub in New York City, will be hosting the world premiere screening of the forthcoming Starz drama Heels tomorrow, Thursday 7/29.
Following the screening, actors Stephen Amell, Alexander Ludwig, Alison Luff, James Harrison and executive producer Mike O’Malley will take part in an in-depth conversation about the series.
The official promotional material for the series notes, "Set in a tightly-knit Georgia community and telling the story of two brothers (played by Amell and Ludwig) chasing their dreams of becoming professional wrestlers and the people in their orbit, Heels is a gripping drama that tells the story of small town America like nothing else. Hear them discuss the making of the show — their intensive training, blurring the line between heroes and villains (or “heels,” as they’re called in the wrestling world), stories from behind the scenes, and more."
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. Amell will be playing Jack Spade, the heel brother.
CM Punk will be appearing in at least one, possibly more episodes. Longtime wrestler and stunt actor Luke Hawx (Logan, The Fate of the Furious) is the wrestling coordinator for the series. A number of other wrestlers including Doc Gallows, Steve Richards, Perry Hawx and J Spade have also filmed roles for the series.
Heels will debut on Starz on 8/13.
