GLOW might be gone, but the show sparked important conversations. Netflix, unfortunately, canceled GLOW a few weeks ago just before the fourth season was about to begin.

But as the fourth season came about, some of the cast members found that the storylines for the white characters were more fleshed out and more reflective of the depth of roles they wanted to play. Show stars took to Instagram to talk about how the prospective fourth season was failing the people of color on the show. Ellen Wong (who plays Jenny Chey) took to Instagram to post an open letter that she and some of her co-stars wrote to Netflix, asking for them to help with the diversity of the show's writers' room.
