In Los Angeles
in 1985, Ruth Wilder, a struggling actress, auditions along with many
other women in a fledgling professional wrestling promotion called the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling
(GLOW). Traditionally minded in her approach to acting and highly
idealistic, she clashes with GLOW's director Sam Sylvia due to his
cynical demeanor and often unconventional work style. Ruth discovers
early on that Sylvia has employed her former best friend, retired soap opera
actress Debbie Eagan to star in the show. Ruth and Debbie had fallen
out with one another after Ruth had an affair with Debbie's husband,
Mark, who Debbie then divorced. The tension between the two women
promises either to make or break the developing show. The series follows
the personal and professional lives of the fictional show's numerous
cast and crew as they navigate the 1980s in Southern California and
Southern Nevada.

The idea for the series came when Flahive and Mensch, who at the time
were looking to make a new female-centric show, came across the 2012
documentary GLOW: The Story of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.[19][20]
Before this, neither woman had heard of the GLOW wrestling promotion,
and they became intrigued by the premise of producing a fictionalized
version of it.[20] Both women found the storyline intriguing as a way of exploring the aftermath of the 1970s Woman's Liberation Movement, with Flahive telling Rolling Stone,
"We wanted to look back on the 1970s, coming out of the women's
movement, and into the 1980s, and ask the question: Did it work? Did
things get better?"[19]
To this end, it was important for the series to maintain a tension
between whether the league was exploiting women or empowering them.[19]
Ursula Hayden,
the owner of the GLOW company, served as a consultant on the series and
helped Flahive and Mensch with creating the show. Hayden was also on
the original 1980s promotion as Babe, the Farmer's Daughter.[21]
Chavo Guerrero Jr. of the famous Guerrero wrestling family also served as a consultant on the series and helped train the actresses. His uncle Mando Guerrero had served in the same role for the original series.[
