I think they^ got her name wrong.

Glow also won a production design (Todd Fjelsted) Emmy.

they deserved to win for casting too

Yeah. I think The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel won I'd have to go back and look. Maisel has a really strong cast too just not the size or number of unknowns like Glow. 

Yeah Maisel won unfortunately. Love both shows and they have brilliant casting, but I feel like it's a lot easier to cast for a show like TMMM, whereas GLOW had to look deeper and try harder, whilst still managing to have a solid selection.

Yeah they deserved it just for the number of unknowns or little knowns they found and are perfect in their roles.  They could've put bigger names in all the roles like other shows. Plus they had to be not only good actresses but fearless because wrestling hurts.  I don't have showtime or HBO, so I had no idea who Betty Gilpin was before I watched. I remembered her character stealing all the scenes away from the lead actress on American Gods but that's it. I haven't watched wrestling since I was a kid, so I didn't know Kia Stephens.  I knew Chris and Alison and had heard of Kate Nash but that's about it.

Kia is AMAZING in both TNA and GLOW. So glad they cast her and also didn't settle with what her character was in wrestling. She's completely different to her wrestling persona and I love it.

@Stuffy: Betty Gilpin was in American Gods?

I think her character’s name was Audrey or Aubrey. She was the woman whose husband and best friend betrayed her.  I think her first scene was telling Shadow what really happened.  I’m pretty sure she was only in two episodes, and her character was mostly drunk and very angry.  She was the best part of the wife’s boring (to me anyway) flashback episode.  

I’m trying not to give spoilers away in case anyone hasn’t seen it and wants to watch it later.

The Emmy nominations are pretty bonkers this year, but Betty Gilpin was nominated for best supporting actress in a comedy:

Yeah season two was better than season one. It should have more nominations not less. 

I kinda hate the drama nominations.

What a bummer. I wonder if Netflix would shell out for a movie. If not, at least we got three great seasons.

I doubt it.  California is becoming a tough place to run a series and the cost was getting to high.  Same reason Stumptown got canceled.

The article says that all of the series regulars were paid in full for season 4. I hope the crew was also paid.

Very disappointed by this.  Netflix is continuing an annoying trend of canceling shows that I love.  First The Dark Crystal and then F is for Family (at least the latter will be getting a final season though).  I used to be a huge wrestling fan so that's what brought me to GLOW in the first place and I have more than enjoyed the show on its own merits.  I hope we'll get some kind of wrap-up but I'm not going to hold my breath.

According to the article, the first episode was finished and work had begun on the second episode.  Is there any chance Netflix would release that episode?  Again, I'm not holding my breath.
