Heels Creator Michael Waldron and Mike O'Malley on Making a Wrestling Show Everyone Can Enjoy
From creator/executive producer Michael Waldron (Loki creator and head writer), the Starz drama series Heels follows brothers and small-town pro wrestling rivals Jack Spade (Stephen Amell) and Ace Spade (Alexander Ludwig). In the ring, there are very clearly defined roles of the good guy, also known as the face, and the bad guy, or the heel, but as the two battle over their late father’s legacy, they realize that the lines are far more blurry in their own lives.
During this virtual interview with Collider, which you can both watch and read, Waldron and Mike O’Malley (who is the showrunner and an executive producer on the series, along with playing Charlie Gully, the owner and impresario of Florida Wrestling Dystopia) talked about making a wrestling show that everyone can enjoy and connect to, learning from each other while making this show together, the challenge of finding time to explore so many interesting characters, and how far ahead they’ve thought about the story they’re telling.
