Stephen Amell is currently recovering after sustaining a back injury on the set of the Starz wrestling drama Heels.
"While performing a stunt on the set of Heels this week, Stephen Amell sustained an injury to his back," Starz confirmed to TV Line. "Following a medical evaluation, he is now resting and recovering at home in anticipation of his return to set. Production continues as Stephen recuperates."
This isn't the first time Amell has been sidetracked from Heels. In fact, the actor just recently resumed production after being diagnosed with the coronavirus (COVID-19). "I have not shot Heels in exactly three weeks today," Amell said on the Oct. 27 episode of Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum. "I head back to work tomorrow. I tested positive for COVID-19. I started to notice something on a Monday but didn't have a … test result. Phoned up the people at CTEH, had them come to my apartment, test me. Came back positive the following Wednesday, got tested again, came back positive again. But, frankly, at that point I didn't need a second positive test because those first couple of days, just really ... they just, they just sucked."
Written by Michael Waldron, Heels stars Stephen Amell, Alison Luff, Alexander Ludwig, Chris Bauer, Allen Maldonado, James Harrison and Mary McCormack. The series has yet to receive a premiere date.
