AceShowbiz - While best known as Green Arrow in the CW's DC universe, Stephen Amell also starred in a two-season sports drama that just received an intriguing update. Heels, a wrestling drama featuring Amell opposite Alexander Ludwig, follows two brothers vying for control over their late father’s wrestling promotion in small-town Georgia.

The acclaimed series initially aired for two seasons on Starz in 2021 and 2023. Despite its strong narrative and compelling performances, the show was ultimately cancelled. However, its story didn't end there; Heels found a new home on Netflix last year, where both seasons remain available for streaming. The series boasts impressive critical and audience reception, holding equally remarkable scores of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The creative mind behind Heels is Michael Waldron, a prominent Marvel scribe known for his work on hit projects like Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. In a recent interview discussing his new project with Glen Powell, Chad Powers, Waldron was asked about a third season for the wrestling drama. His response offered a glimmer of hope: 'Never say never,' he teased, adding, 'Almost everyone who saw it loved it. Maybe it just needs its Suits moment.'

Waldron's reference points to the unexpected resurgence of Suits in the 2020s, which gained unprecedented popularity years after its original run, eventually leading to a new spin-off. Given Heels' strong critical reception and fanbase, Waldron's sentiment isn't unfounded. Moreover, Netflix's recent acquisition of rights to air major WWE events like Monday Night Raw, has led many to question why the streamer hasn't considered a revival for the wrestling-centric show.

However, the path to revival isn't without its potential pitfalls, as evidenced by the recent fate of the Suits LA spin-off. Despite significant anticipation, the series reportedly floundered shortly after its release, failing to capture the viewership or critical acclaim of its predecessor. The swift cancellation of Suits LA after just one season could make Netflix hesitant to rush into another revival project, even for a show as beloved as Heels. The streamer may be wary of quickly greenlighting another spin-off after a disappointing performance.

Suits LA struggled with poor viewership from its debut and failed to impress critics or the primary Suits audience. NBC quickly confirmed that further investment was unwarranted, ending its run prematurely. While the future of a Heels revival remains uncertain, the optimistic teases from its creator, coupled with its proven quality and Netflix's new wrestling focus, keep hope alive for fans. For those eager to catch up or revisit the series, both seasons of Heels are currently available for streaming on Netflix.
