Ohio Valley Wrestling, which was once a developmental brand for WWE, has evolved into its own independent wrestling promotion. It even got a Netflix show called Wrestlers back in 2023, but so far, it only has one season, and fans wondered if there would be more. With that said, the future of the show has been revealed.
While speaking during Fightful Selects Q&A podcast, Sean Ross Sapp was asked whether there would be another season of Wrestlers. Sapp noted that Netflix is not planning another season of Wrestlers featuring OVW.
Sean Ross Sapp confirmed that while the show was well-produced and showed off OVW in a positive way, it wasnt renewed. He mentioned that Netflix initially had the option to continue OVW programming and even discussed a live event as part of their efforts to test live streaming, alongside projects like the Chris Rock special and Love is Blind.
However, the opportunity passed, and with independent wrestling struggling in Kentucky, Netflix decided not to move forward with another season.
Although Wrestlers gave fans a closer look at OVWs challenges and successes, the promotion will now have to move forward without Netflixs support. Its unclear if another network will pick up the series, but OVW will continue to push for growth on its own.
