Plenty of movies and TV shows shoot their productions in Georgia, but very few set their stories here. (Yes, Paste is based in ATLwood, y’all!) That’s just another reason we’re looking forward to Starz’s Heels, which sets brother against brother in a rural town where wrestling is their life.
Those brothers are played by Stephen Amell (Arrow) as Jack Spade, and Alexander Ludwig (Vikings) as his younger brother, Alex (but who is hero and who is heel, indeed!) The series is written and created by Michael Waldron (Loki), with Executive Producer Mike O’Malley (Shameless) serving as showrunner.
According to a press release,
Heels is a story about 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 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.
