Heels Season 2: STARZ Releases Special Preview Screened at SDCC 2023
Here's the special Season 2 preview that was screened during SDCC for STARZ's Stephen Amell and Alexander Ludwig-starring Heels.
This week, STARZ's Stephen Amell & Alexander Ludwig-starring Heels steps back into the ring for a second season of action, drama & intrigue. But before the pro wrestling world-set series hits screens once again, there was the not-so-small matter of San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) to address – and they did it in a big way! How? By dropping a special preview for the SDCC crowd to check out – and now, you have a chance, too!
STARZ's Heels: A Look Ahead to Season 2
Season two begins after a spectacular showing at the South Georgia State Fair, and the Duffy Wrestling League's popularity is suddenly on the upswing. Hoping to seize the opportunity, Jack (Amell) and his cohorts prepare for a possible business deal with a new streaming service that may propel them onto a national stage. But the past and its tragedies threaten to upset everything when Ace (Ludwig) leaves Duffy and the Dome in his rearview; meanwhile, rival promotion Florida Wrestling Dystopia's vengeful frontman Gully (Mike O'Malley) comes calling. Here's a look at that special sneak preview that was originally screened during SDCC 2023 (with the series returning on Friday, July 28th – yup, that's this week):
