TWO NEW WWE TV SERIES REVEALED

The Wall Street Journal reported today that WWE's first-ever Spanish language series, Contra Las Cuerdas, will soon be debuting on Netflix in Mexico.  The series will be a comedy about an up and coming female professional wrestler.  Back on 2013, WWE Studios covered similar fare with French-language film Les Reines Du Ring a comedy about a mother trying to reconnect with her son, a die-hard WWE fan, by entering the ring.

The outlet also reported that NBC Universal is developing a drama titled Pinned, about a family running a professional wrestling company.  Obviously, this sounds similar in tone to Succession.

Deadline.com featured more details on Pinned, noting:

Craig O’Neill, exec producer of the recent CSI: Vegas sequel series and MacGyver, is writing and exec producing the project with Fox Sports reporter Tom Rinaldi and WWE chief McMahon.

The project is described as an “adrenalized” upstairs-downstairs soap that gives a behind-the-scenes look at a fictional wrestling promotion and the “unforgettable” characters that populate it. Pinned offers a front-row seat into the eccentric wrestling culture and the mayhem that exists between the locker room and the boardroom.
