Plot Synopsis

Executive produced by showrunner Mike O'Malley and writer/creator Michael Waldron, HEELS is a one-hour wrestling drama series that tells the stories of the men and women who chase their dreams in the world of small town pro wrestling. Set in a close-knit Georgia community, it follows a family-owned wrestling promotion as two brothers and rivals -- Jack Spade and younger brother Ace -- war over their late father's legacy. In the ring, somebody must play the good guy and somebody must play their nemesis, the heel. But in the real world, those characters can be hard to live up to -- or hard to leave behind. Jack's wife, Staci Spade, learns that she has to contend with the emotional stakes her in-laws have invested in their wrestling goals and the demands it puts on her family. Willie Day is Jack's business partner and the logistical brains behind the local wrestling organization. Crystal Tyler is Ace's valet and love interest. They're joined by these wrestlers: Rooster Robbins, one of the best wrestlers in the circuit, who always has something to prove and always backs it up; Apocalypse, a been-around-the-block journeyman wrestler who's been at it for decades and has no illusions of fame or glory; and Wild Bill Hancock, a larger-than-life former wrestling star who is now a high-level pro wrestling scout.

The sophomore season of HEELS premieres on Friday, July 28, 2023 at 10pm ET/PT on Starz. Season 2 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 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 leaves Duffy and the Dome in his rearview, meanwhile rival promotion Florida Wrestling Dystopia's vengeful frontman Gully comes calling. Starring Stephen Amell and Alexander Ludwig, the new season also stars Alison Luff as Staci Spade, Mary McCormack as Willie Day, Kelli Berglund as Crystal Tyler, Allen Maldonadoas Rooster Robbins, Chris Bauer as Wild Bill Hancock, Trey Tucker as Bobby Pin, Robby Ramos as Diego Cottonmouth, Alice Barrett Mitchell as Carol Spade, and Roxton Garcia as Thomas Spade, David James Elliot as Tom Spade, and Joel Murray as Eddie Earl.
