I am really sad about this. Great little show that had a long way to go. Barely given a shot.

Damn.  I would have loved to know what the heck happened.

Did Jack regain the feeling in his legs?

Who did Continuum go with? Dystopia or DPW?

Did Gully get his?

What happened to Ace?

Was Jack and his wife able to clear the issues with the arena's debt?

Damn you show.  Even a 2 hour finale would be great.

You gotta be kidding me Starz. Well I guess subbing and watching the show there didn't count after all. Any chance this show gets picked up from another network that'll treat it right?

Heels
...
Fans of the Stephen Amell-led wrestling drama felt like they got body-slammed into the canvas when Starz cancelled it after two seasons. They were left hanging, too, since the Season 2 finale ended with Amell’s Jack Spade jumping off the top rope and hitting his brother Ace with a Shooting Star Press — and seriously injuring himself in the process. As Ace took the win, a tearful Jack admitted to his wife Staci that he couldn’t feel his legs.

Is it a sign that Heels may be picked up at another place since Starz pulled all the episodes? Fingers crossed! –Wendi
No, that is simply a sign that Starz is “disappearing” content (including the freshly cancelled Heels, Blindspotting and Run the World), as so many other streaming apps have done over the past 18 months.

HEELS (Starz)
...
Ended: Sept. 15, 2023 (after two seasons)

What would have happened in Season 3: Following its cancellation, showrunner Mike O’Malley noted that they “did not intend, nor do we intend” for the finale to be “the last episode of the show.” If given the chance, new episodes would have explored the aftermath of Jack Spade’s (Stephen Amell) inability to move his legs after that Shooting Star Press-gone-wrong. “He is at that moment significantly injured. And the extent of what that injury is, we don’t know,” O’Malley teased.

The end of Season 2 has this huge cliffhanger wondering what happens to Jack and his career. How do you having Heels’ two seasons on Netflix will impact the show’s future? 

I’m just so happy that people are going to see the episodes we made. There was a time when we were taken off the Starz platform and we thought all this work had just vanished. It was like a great concert or a one-act play you saw in the state of New Hampshire where it was like you had to have been there. That’s not why you make television or movies. You make them to share with people. I of course am talking to you because I want people to watch it. I will say that the ensemble, the people I worked with,  the setting of Duffy, Georgia, these characters, there are many more seasons of story to tell for this show. I desperately want to do that. 

I think we have to turn out an audience of people. I believe this is a high-quality show and believe people are out there who want this type of storytelling from these kinds of people and the hearts they have. There will be people who go, “Wrestling? I couldn’t care less. I’m not interested in that.” I think if they give it a chance, they will see it’s not just about wrestling. That’s the backdrop. What it’s really about is how a group of people come together to make something. And is making it worth it? Is doing it worth it? What is the cost? I’m confident when people watch this show they will respond and say, “Wow, that’s a well-made show. That’s really good. I want to tell my friends about it.”

[Snapdragon]

So I just finished binging this on Netflix and I really liked it!  I thought the premise sounded interesting when the show premiered a few years ago but since we don't have Starz, I wasn't able to watch it.  I'm really hoping it does well on Netflix and they pick it up for a few more seasons.

When asked about the chances for a third season of Heels, SA said: "I think if there wasn’t a path to a third season, Netflix would have left it and let it collect cobwebs, let the dust gather… gather dust, yeah.”
