The six-episode series debuts Tuesday, Jan. 9 at 10 p.m. on the network; scroll down for a first look. “Big Little Brawlers” focuses on the Micro Wrestling Federation, described as “one of the most successful little person wrestling leagues in the world.” Set in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., the series revolves around “Pinky Shortcake” and “Syko,” who are both parents and wrestling partners.
There’s also “Ivar the Micro,” the announcer/hype man who hopes to become a wrestler himself. “Lil’ Show” is the veteran wrestler still aiming to support his wife and children. “Hot Rod” is the up-and-coming wrestler looking to prove himself. “Despite internal dramas and frustrations, Micro Wresting Federation CEO Jack Darrell Hillegass encourages the group to work together as a family as they approach ‘MicroFest,’ the biggest micro wresting event of the year,” reads the show description. “As they attempt to achieve their piece of the American Dream, a group of remarkable little people athletes with larger-than-life personalities are forced to overcome ego, injury, and the limitations imposed by society.” “Big Little Brawlers” comes from Jupiter Entertainment for Warner Bros.
Discovery. Discovery’s sister network TLC has found great success with other franchises in the little people space, including “Little People, Big World” (which has been on TLC since 2006) and “7 Little Johnstons,” which launched in 2015.
