Heels creator Michael Waldron spoke with Variety this afternoon about the excellent series finally streaming on Netflix.
Noting that the series is for everyone, not just pro wrestling fans, Waldron commented, "I always felt like it was a show for everybody. It’s also just a show about the South and middle America, folks who just don’t usually see themselves on TV, or if they do, it’s a caricature. Just because you live in a small town doesn’t mean that you don’t have big time ambitions and artistic ambitions…The show, on its face, is a show about athletes, but when really you dig into it, it’s a show about the creative process.”
The article notes:
"Fans of the series are no doubt hoping that Netflix could revive the show for a third season, though that remains a remote possibility given the cast and creative team’s commitment to other projects. But if the response is truly overwhelming, the chance still exists. Waldron said that a potential third season would begin to examine the dark side of success with the DWL breaking through to a new level."
With WWE soon to be streaming on Netflix, Waldron noted that they've mentioned WWE sparingly in the past and that if they get to continue making new episodes, the idea of WWE responding to a growing DWF could be something integrated into Heels.
