Heels/Netflix: Stephen Amell, Alexander Ludwig Sound Ready For More
Stephen Amell and Alexander Ludwig let fans know they like the sound of Heels streaming on Netflix - and read like they're ready for more.
Earlier today, we learned that Lionsgate Worldwide Television Distribution and Netflix had struck a non-exclusive deal for both seasons of Stephen Amell & Alexander Ludwig-starring Heels to join the streaming service. On one hand, that's a good sign for fans hoping for a third season – with sources saying Netflix would consider Season 3 if the first two seasons' streaming numbers prove strong. Two big hurdles that would have to be cleared are Amell's & Ludwig's respective schedules. Amell is filming the pilot episode for the "Suits" sequel spinoff series Suits: L.A. – with NBC expected to green-light the pilot to series. For Ludwig, it's his recently announced role in the upcoming six-episode sci-fi/drama series Earth Abides – based on George R. Stewart's work – that could also be a factor. But for now – based on their respective social media posts – it looks like Amell and Ludwig are more than open to another round:
"ONE… TWO… KICK OUT!!!" wrote Amell in his Instagram post – along with a screencap of the initial reporting on the show's possible future at Netflix:
