Alexander Ludwig Joins Stephen Amell in Wrestling Series 'Heels'

Alexander Ludwig has joined the cast of the upcoming Starz wrestling series Heels alongside Stephen Amell.

The 27-year-old actor is best known for his work in The Hunger Games, the History Channel series Vikings, and the upcoming movie Bad Boys for Life.

Set in a close-knit Georgia community, Heels “follows a family-owned wrestling promotion as two brothers and rivals, Jack (Amell) and Ace (Ludwig) Spade, war over their late father’s legacy. In the ring, somebody must play the good guy (Ludwig) and somebody must play their nemesis, the heel (Amell). But in the real world, those characters can be hard to live up to — or hard to leave behind,” according to Deadline.

The hourlong drama series will get eight episodes.
