Over a year after the first season of Heels, the sibling rivalry between Jack and Ace continues on July 28. A newly released sneak peek for Season 2 teases the uncertain future of the Duffy Wrestling League.
Following the release of the Heels Season 2 trailer last month, the second season of the drama is shaping up to be as engaging and intense as the first. Season 1 saw Tom Spade (David James Elliott) take his own life, leaving his wrestling business in the care of his eldest son, Jack Spade (Stephen Amell). However, in order to keep the business running, Jack and Ace Spade (Alexander Ludwig) must play in the ring with a scripted fight, where one must act as the “heel,” the villain, and one as the “face,” the hero.
The first season of Heels features a bunch of dreamers finding success in the Georgia community’s professional wrestling scene. But as Jack and Ace continue to fight for their late father’s legacy, their ongoing rivalry continues to endanger their late father’s business. Making matters worse, the promotion’s ticket sales are flagging fast.
What Will Happen to the Duffy Wrestling League?
The rivalry between the two arises when Jack hinders Ace from taking the league’s championship from him. It elevates their kayfabe feud into a real one. When Season 1 came to a close, Jack attempted to make amends with Ace, but the latter rejected him. With Season 2 closer on the horizon, the siblings’ complicated relationship appears to be no different.
The logline for Heels Season 2 reads: “Jack and his cohorts prepare for a possible business deal with a new streaming service that may propel them onto a national stage. But the past and its tragedies threaten to upset everything when Ace leaves Duffy and the Dome in his rearview, meanwhile rival promotion Florida Wrestling Dystopia’s vengeful frontman Gully comes calling.”
Heels also stars Alison Luff as Staci Spade, Mary McCormack as Willie Day, Kelli Berglund as Crystal Tyler, Allen Maldonado as Rooster Robbins, James Harrison as Apocalypse, and Chris Bauer as Wild Bill Hancock.
