Starz Renews Heels For Second Season
The Duffy Wrestling League will be returning for a second year.
Having impressed audiences and critics alike with its debut season, Heels has now been formally renewed for a second season by Starz.
Via Deadline, production on Season Two will commence next summer, with Lionsgate again producing alongside Paramount Network Television.
While details on this second year are clearly unknown at this stage, it has been confirmed that Trey Tucker and Robby Ramos will be bumped up from recurring roles to series regulars. Tucker plays Bobby Pin, and Ramos plays Diego Cottonmouth in the show.
Mike O'Malley will be returning to serve as showrunner on Heels' sophomore season, and he'll also be back as the infamous Charlie Gully. Another who'll be once more involved is writer and executive producer Michael Waldron, and producers Peter Segal, Patrick Walmsley, Julie Yorn and Christopher Donnelly will also continue to be a part of the series.
For its debut year, Heels averaged 111,375 viewers per episode, drawing an average of 0.02 in the 18-49 demographic.
In case you're not familiar with Heels, the series features Arrow's Stephen Amell and Vikings' Alexander Ludwig as splintered brothers who head up their deceased father's wrestling territory, the Duffy Wrestling League.
