“How did one girl become hated in Japan and whip everyone into a frenzy?” Netflix has unveiled the full official trailer for a streaming series called The Queen of Villains, about a Japanese pro-wrestler. Set for a global debut on Netflix later this month if anyone wants to rumble with her. Seems like a fun companion series to Glow.
