Stephen Amell Dishes Dirt: The Drama Behind "Heels" S2 Delay
As fans eagerly tap their feet, awaiting the bell to ring for "Heels" season 2, the series' leading man, Stephen Amell, grapples with behind-the-scenes drama. With its premiere lost in the showbiz shuffle, Amell takes us through the ropes to unveil the story behind the scenes.
Starz vs. Lions Gate: A Showbiz Showdown
According to Wrestling Inc., the wait for "Heels" S2 stretches on, despite the episodes being ready since the summer of the prior year. But before you tag this delay as a classic network hiccup, think again. Amell, in a candid interview with TV Line, cited the corporate clash between Starz and its parent company, Lions Gate Entertainment, as the main culprit.
"They are now in the process of, as best I understand it, 'untangling' that partnership," Amell commented. He further elaborated on the complexity of the situation, highlighting the blurred lines regarding asset ownership. The result? A wrapped season, no premiere date, no trailer, and a hazy cloud over Season 3's future.
Season 3: Is It Pinned Down or Still in the Ring?
While a green signal for a third season of "Heels" remains a hot topic of speculation, Amell's enthusiasm paints a vivid picture. He's optimistic, noting the impending meetings centered on scripting for the next season. Yet, in the grand order of TV production, this seems a tad unusual. "I would be worried if I didn't think the season was spectacular," Amell confidently proclaimed, praising the second season's broader narrative arc and scope.
On a reflective note, he acknowledges the external challenges faced during production. "...we actually shot it in order and were subject to COVID 'hiccups' but not COVID catastrophes." This resilience perhaps sums up the fighting spirit of the show and its crew.
So, while the corporate tussle might be causing some unexpected timeouts, fans can take solace in the fact that "Heels" is poised to bounce back bigger and better. And with Stephen Amell's unwavering belief in the series, we're all in for one hell of a match.
