‘Heels,’ Former Starz Series, Sets Netflix Premiere Date

“Heels” has set its Netflix launch date.

The streamer announced Wednesday that the Starz series, which was canceled after two seasons in September 2023, will become available on Netflix on Sept. 15. Both seasons of the series will drop on that date. Netflix had previously announced in April that it had licensed the series. “Heels” aired its first season on Starz in 2021, with the second season following in 2023.

That is good news for fans of the show, which followed the professional wrestlers of the Duffy Wrestling League, a small independent promotion in Georgia. Jack Spade (Stephen Amell) inherited the league from his father and now struggles to keep it afloat while also trying to take it to the next level.

The series also starred Alexander Ludwig, Chris Bauer, Mary McCormack, Kelli Berglund, Allen Maldonado, Trey Tucker, Robby Ramos, Alice Barrett Mitchell, Roxton Garcia, David James Elliott, Joel Murray, and CM Punk. Mike O’Malley, who was also the series showrunner, starred in the role of Charlie Gully, a rival promoter.

Michael Waldron created the series and served as executive producer. Along with O’Malley and Waldron, Christopher Donnelly, Pete Segal, Patrick Walmsley, and Julie Yorn served as executive producers. Lionsgate Television was the studio.

As has happened with other shows, the possibility exists that if “Heels” finds a significant audience on Netflix, they could strike a deal with Lionsgate for a third season. But that would be difficult, given the other commitments of the cast members. Amell, for example, is set to headline the upcoming NBC show “Suits: LA,” which was picked up to series in July .

“Heels'” arrival on Netflix will come ahead of the debut on WWE’s “Monday Night Raw” on the streaming giant, with that show premiering in January 2025. The deal is valued at $500 million per year for 10 years, or a whopping $5 billion commitment by the streamer. Netflix has the option to opt out after the initial five years and to extend for an additional 10 years.
