Heels season 2 plot
The show centers on the rivalry between brothers Jack and Ace Spade, who fight over their father's legacy and the family-owned wrestling promotion business, all while trying to find their identities in and out of the ring.
Here is what fans can expect from Heels season 2:
"Season two begins after a spectacular showing at the South Georgia State Fair, and the Duffy Wrestling League's popularity is suddenly on the upswing. Hoping to seize the opportunity, 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."
