Season three of 80s-set professional wrestling drama has tapped the Academy Award-winning actress to guest star.
Davis quite literally will be stepping into the ring. She is set to play Sandy Devereaux St. Clair, a former-showgirl-turned-entertainment-director of the Fan-Tan Hotel and Casino, the backdrop for the third season.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, she will star in five of the 10 episodes of the third season the comedy.
The series revolves around a fictionalization of the characters of the 1980s syndicated women’s professional wrestling circuit, the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, aka GLOW. It was created for the streaming giant by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch.
The third season will see the women quickly realize Sin City is much more grind than glitter. Ever the team cheerleader, Ruth’s (Alison Brie) passion for the show begins to take a backseat to her increasingly complicated personal life. Debbie (Betty Gilpin) is making headway as a producer, but continues to be consumed with guilt over the distance from her son. As their residency wears on, the lines blur between performance and reality and the women find themselves struggling with their own identities.
Season Three of GLOW debuts August 9th.
