On the heels of being canceled last week, the cast of Netflix's Glow is asking fans to rally around a push for a movie to wrap up the series properly. It's not an entirely far-fetched ask: The wrestling dramedy was originally renewed for a fourth season but the production realities of COVID-19 for a large ensemble requiring actors to be in close proximity to one another made moving forward safely implausible.
"Let us wrap it up in a two-hour Netflix movie," said Marc Maron in a video posted on social media. "They had the whole season laid out… [give us] an opportunity to finish the story."

This sentiment was further reinforced in a 90-minute livestreamed cast reunion days after the cancelation, where the stars got an opportunity to both break and react to the news while answering fan questions. The event, Afterglow: The Final Bell, was moderated by Glamour's Jessica Radloff was scheduled before news of the cancelation to promote voter registration.
"We scheduled this Zoom when we thought we still had a season four," said Betty Gilpin (Stuber, Nurse Jackie) during the event. "So it feels like we invited you to our wedding and then the groom had sex with a cross-eyed cocktail waitress and now we're just all drunk at the venue together and we're like, 'Enjoy the quiches because it’s over!' But if this wedding is now a funeral, let's make it one of those fun great ones."
Glow is just the latest in a long list of shows canceled by Netflix this year.
