AEW star CM Punk will also return as Ricky Rabies, joined this season by his real-life wife AJ Mendez in the role of Elle Dorado.
“Heels” was created by Michael Waldron, who also serves as an executive producer. O’Malley serves as executive producer and showrunner via O’Malley Ink in addition to his onscreen role. Christopher Donnelly, Pete Segal, Patrick Walmsley, and Julie Yorn also serve as executive producers on the series. “Heels” is produced through O’Malley Ink and LBI Entertainment in association with Lionsgate Television for Starz.
In an interview for the Season 1 finale, O’Malley said that Jack is going to have to own up to how his own behavior has negatively impacted his family.
“To me, if you don’t have a clean conscience, you’re living a corrosive existence that’s eventually going to get you,” he said. “Jack has to own how he treated Ace and how it’s affected his marriage and affected his relationship with his son. So here’s Jack, he’s gained everything he wanted but his brother’s walking out on him and his wife his son aren’t there.”
