Dark Side of the Ring has been renewed for a fifth season that is expected to premiere on Vice TV this March. Meltzer wrote in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that episodes on Brutus Beefcake, Harley Race, Buff Bagwell, Kurt Angle, Chris Adams, The Sandman, and Black Saturday are being planned:
For the new season of Dark Side of the Ring, we know of these episodes: Brutus Beefcake, Harley Race, Buff Bagwell, Kurt Angle, Chris Adams, Sandman and Black Saturday (when Vince McMahon purchased Georgia Championship Wrestling to get access to the TBS time slot in 1984).
The Kurt Angle episode will cover Angle's past with drug and alcohol addiction.
An Angle documentary was also released on Peacock last September.
