STARZ has released the official trailer for Season 2 of its critically-acclaimed drama Heels, starring Stephen Amell (Arrow) and Alexander Ludwig (Vikings).
"Who's in your corner?" begs the new trailer for the small-town sports drama series based on a wrestling league in rural Georgia. Named after the wrestling term for a villain or antagonist, Heels Season 2 brings fans "back to the family-owned wrestling organization, Duffy Wrestling League (DWL), where brothers and rivals, Jack (Amell) and Ace Spade (Ludwig), continue to fight over their late father's legacy and their individual versions of success, while also working to find their own identity as a 'face' or a 'heel.'"
Created by Loki showrunner Michael Waldron, Heels premiered on Aug. 15, 2021, on Starz, wrapping up its eight-episode first season that October. The drama series was Amell's first television role since wrapping up his eight-year stint as Oliver Queen/Green Arrow on The CW's Arrowverse in 2020. Heels is also Ludwig's first starring role since the end of History/Prime Video's Vikings.
What Happens in Heels Season 2?
The official synopsis for the new season of Heels reads as follows: "Season two begins after a spectacular showing at the South Georgia State Fair, the Duffy Wrestling League’s popularity is suddenly on the upswing. Hoping to seize the opportunity, Jack and his cohorts prepare for a possible business deal with a new streaming service that may propel them onto a national stage. But the past and its tragedies threaten to upset everything when Ace leaves Duffy and the Dome in his rearview, and rival promotion Florida Wrestling Dystopia’s vengeful frontman Gully comes calling."
