Britney Young (Those Who Can’t) and Sydelle Noel (Captive) have been cast as series regulars opposite Alison Brie and Marc Maron in G.L.O.W., Netflix’s 10-episode straight-to-series comedy executive produced by Orange Is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan.
G.L.O.W. was inspired by the real story of the 1980s female wrestling league. Set in Los Angeles and showcasing big hair and body slams, the series tells the fictionalized story of Ruth (Brie), an out-of-work, struggling actress who finds one last attempt to live her dreams when she’s thrust into the glitter and spandex world of women’s wrestling via a weekly series about female wrestlers.
Young will play Carmen Wade, a big girl with big dreams and zero experience in front of a camera. Noel is Cherry Bang, a professional stunt woman whose career peaked in the Blaxploitation heyday, now looking for a chance to do more than double.
