Viacom/CBS has inked a multi-year distribution deal with WOW, also known as Women of Wrestling.
New episodes of WOW will launch in weekend syndication beginning in the fall of 2022. Reruns of WOW will be available on CW Seed and Pluto TV platforms in December this year, ViacomCBS said.
WOW was founded in 2000 by David McLane, who was also behind the women’s wrestling promotion GLOW, which was the inspiration for the namesake Netflix series, starring Alison Brie, Ruth Wilder and Mark Maron.
WOW is now owned by LA Lakers controlling owner and president Jeanie Buss.
“Wrestling’s presentation of women has long been very important to me, and we now are presenting the epitome in sports entertainment that will highlight the athleticism of these superstars as we reintroduce WOW,” Buss said in a statement.
