Starz (start your free trial) has announced the movie and TV titles coming to the service in August. The Starz August 2021 schedule takes audiences into the ring with the new original drama series Heels, set in the world of independent professional wrestling, premiering Sunday, August 15 at 9 PM ET/PT across all STARZ platforms.
Written and created by executive producer Michael Waldron (Loki) with executive producer Mike O’Malley (Shameless, Survivor’s Remorse) as showrunner, Heels stars Stephen Amell (Arrow) as Jack Spade, with Alexander Ludwig (The Hunger Games, Vikings) playing his younger brother, Ace. Peter Segal, who directs several episodes, also serves as executive producer.
Heels is a story about the men and women who chase their dreams in the world of small town pro wrestling. Set in a close-knit Georgia community, it follows a family-owned wrestling promotion as two brothers and rivals war over their late father’s legacy.
In the ring, somebody must play the good guy and somebody must play their nemesis, the heel. But in the real world, those characters can be hard to live up to – or hard to leave behind.
The Starz August 2021 lineup also includes new episodes of Power Book III: Raising Kanan, which continues its domination of Sunday night programming with episode 103 available on August 1, episode 104 on August 8, episode 105 on August 15 and episode 106 on August 29 (August 22 is a skip week) at 8 PM ET/PT.
The series finale (episode 108) of Blindspotting, created and executive produced by Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs, is available on Sunday, August 8 at 9 PM ET/PT. Episode 107 airs on Sunday, August 1.
The Deceived airs its last two episodes of the four-part limited series on August 1 and August 8 at 9:30 PM PT/ET.
You can view the full Starz August 2021 schedule below and you’ll find the titles that are leaving underneath. We’ve also included a selection of the August series and movie collections.
