“I am excited to give fans a behind-the-scenes look into the
Foley family life,” said Mick Foley. “Holy Foley will be filled
with surprises, lots of drama and moments that will make you laugh
out loud.”
“It’s an honor to be working with WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley,
and I’m very happy to be collaborating with WWE on this series,”
said Executive Producer Dave Caplan.
“As a leader in supplying premium content to digital platforms,
we are very pleased to once again partner with WWE and bring this
fun family series to WWE Network,” said Jennifer O’Connell,
Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming, Lionsgate
Television. “Holy Foley is an exciting way to give the WWE Universe
a unique behind-the-scenes look into the Foley family.”
Show Synopsis:
At the Foley household on suburban Long Island, Mick Foley
simply sees himself as a stand-up comedian and Santa-loving dad to
his family of five, including wife Colette, sons Dewey, Mickey and
Hughie, and daughter Noelle, with whom he shares a picture-perfect,
father-daughter relationship.
However, unbeknownst to Mick, Noelle has decided she wants to
follow in her father’s footsteps, and has been secretly training to
join WWE. Just when Mick thought he was out of the ring, Noelle is
leading the charge to pull him back in.
As if Noelle’s aspirations weren’t enough, Dewey, Mick’s oldest
son, recently landed his dream job as a writer’s assistant on the
WWE creative team.
In Holy Foley, real-life antics and laugh-out-loud moments will
unfold as cameras follow two generations of Foleys trying to make
it in life – and at WWE.
