Netflix's hit show "GLOW" was celebrated due to a number of aspects — the acting, the writing, the stellar '80s spandex — and Alison Brie was front and center throughout its three seasons. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, "GLOW" was ultimately stopped in its Season 4 tracks, and what would've been devastating news to the frontrunner was put into perspective given what was going on in the world.
"It was one of those things that there was a bit of a delayed reaction. Globally, there was so much going on that was so awful and so unexpected that it put things in perspective in a great way," Brie told us. "But it was really difficult — especially to not be together with the cast — finding out that the show was canceled. That made it tricky. Also, because we had started shooting the fourth season, that allowed us mentally to be like, 'There's no way that it's going to go away.' It was definitely a surprise."
However, the downtime from "GLOW" gave Brie a chance to explore different facets of her creativity, and she "immersed" herself in writing. "It is probably through the process of shooting 'GLOW' that I felt empowered to take a step into doing that," she said.
