Jenji Kohan is attached as an executive producer is carving quite the feminist niche at Netflix.

From the minds of Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, a new comedy series based on a real 1980s all female wrestling league, will be coming to Netflix soon. Specifically, it’ll follow a struggling actress who stumbles into and gets caught up in this new world.

Called G.L.O.W., it should be a nice companion to Jenji Kohan’s Orange Is The New Black on the streaming service giant.
