Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The world has had a chance to get their teeth into season 1 of Netflix's GLOW by now, and as the keenest of viewers start to finish all 10 episodes, talk is turning to whether or not there'll be a second season.

There's no official word from Netflix yet, but it sounds like the cast are already preparing for shooting to resume.

"We’re really looking forward to getting back into training — all the women are," lead actor Alison Brie told The Hollywood Reporter.

"We all miss the wrestling. I’ve kept up my heavy lifting with my trainer and am just staying in top shape to be prepared.

"But it’s a little scary, too, how there is no end in sight about how good the moves have to be. They just have to get better and better!"

Co-creator Liz Flahive added that the female cast have actually become such competent pro wrestlers they have needed to rein in and "unlearn" their skills when playing their newbie characters.

"I have to tell you, they are all pretty good now," she said. "We had to hold as much back as we actually showed."
