"Heels" Wrestling Drama Finds New Life on Netflix with Potential for Third Season

The canceled wrestling drama "Heels" has been licensed to Netflix by Lionsgate Worldwide Television Distribution, giving the streaming platform nonexclusive rights to the two-season, 16-episode series. While Netflix has not renewed the show, there is potential for a revival if it performs well on the platform. However, logistical challenges may arise due to the lead actors' commitments to other projects. This deal reflects Netflix's strategy of licensing "gently used" programming and its increasing focus on sports and "sports adjacent" content.

Zac Efron's Uncomfortable Transformation in "The Iron Claw" Leaves Viewers Shocked

The Iron Claw, a wrestling drama, has received rave reviews in the UK, but fans are still struggling to come to terms with Zac Efron's shockingly different appearance as Kevin Von Erich. Efron's fuller jawline, attributed to a jaw injury, has sparked speculation and surprise among viewers. Despite the focus on Efron's appearance, the film has been hailed as an "instant classic" for its powerful storytelling and compassionate exploration of family ties within the world of professional wrestling in the early 1980s.

Zac Efron's 'The Iron Claw' Review: A Heart-Shattering Wrestling Epic

"The Iron Claw" fails to deliver as a wrestling drama, despite Zac Efron's physical transformation. The film focuses on the tragic story of the Von Erich family, but its one-dimensional script and performances overshadow the cast's ripped bodies. The lead character, Kevin Von Erich (played by Efron), lacks depth and is overshadowed by his more captivating brother, David. The film explores the consequences of a self-centered father, but fails to make a meaningful impact. Ultimately, "The Iron Claw" falls short of proving the Von Erichs' claim as the greatest family in wrestling history.
