Netflix has revealed when knockout wrestling comedy GLOW will be returning for season two.

The show was renewed for a second season in August after strong reviews and word-of-mouth, and now we only have two more months to wait for more episodes as season two will land on Netflix on Friday, June 29.

What to Read Next

In the date announcement video, the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling strut their stuff to classic Flashdance tune 'Maniac', before Marc Maron's Sam Sylvia is his usual grumpy self, breaking up their fun.

Alongside the date announcement, Netflix released an official synopsis for season two which sees the wrestlers deal with becoming local celebrities and "the realities of their newfound fame".

"As Ruth and Debbie settle into the day-to-day of making a season of TV together, they confront lingering issues at the heart of their friendship," it reads.

"Sam is still Sam, but now he has a teenage daughter living with him and 20 episodes to churn out. The wrestling is harder, the stakes are higher, and the hair is even bigger."

Season two brings back the likes of Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin, Britney Young, Sydelle Norel and Kate Nash, with the GLOW cast joined by a new face in the ring.

Shakira Barrera has been added to the cast as Yolanda (aka Yo-Yo), a Mexican-American dancer/stripper and out and proud lesbian who signs up for the team.

GLOW season two arrives on Netflix on June 29.
