Starz wrestling drama, starring Arrow fame Stephen Amell and Vikings star Alexander Ludwig in lead roles, is less than a month away from its premiere. Drama lovers got a glimpse of it through the newly released trailer that introduces the central characters as two siblings named Jack and Ace Spade.
The two brothers try hard to keep up the legacy of their late father, who was a famous wrestler in their small town. They are not just rivals in-ring, but the siblings have lots of disagreements in real life also. While Jack appears in-ring as the hero or face, Ace will play the villain or heel, and the real war begins when they try to figure out whom the people want to see win.
