Netflix is reportedly working on a new wrestling drama.
Rosy Cordero of Deadline reports Netflix is in early development on a wrestling drama series, Tuesday Night Titans.
Michael Notarile is listed as the creator, writer and executive producer. Jon M. Chu is also tabbed as an executive producer. Notarile was previously a writer for WWE Raw.
From Deadline:
Set in the spectacle-driven world of professional wrestling, Tuesday Night Titans follows a tenacious writer who risks her career in the big leagues to recruit her estranged childhood best friend – a ‘jobber’ wrestler on the indies – to join the same behemoth company they idolized in their youth. Their destinies become entangled as they battle personal demons, ruthless colleagues, and their complicated history in an industry where “kayfabe” – wrestling’s staged reality – isn’t confined to the ring, but bleeds into every aspect of their lives.
Tuesday Night Titans was the name of a weekly TV show produced by the WWE in the 1980s that aired on USA Network, but has no relation to this project.
Fightful will provide more details on the project when they are made available.
