It tells the fictional story of Brie's Ruth Wilder, an out-of-work actor who finds herself in an upstart women's wrestling circuit.
Marc Maron and Betty Gilpin also star.
The series is created by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch.
Jenji Kohan, Tara Herrmann and Mark Burley serve as executive producers alongside showrunners Flahive and Mensch.

Wahidullah Mayar, spokesman for the public health ministry, says at least four women are among the wounded from the bus attack and have been taken to hospitals.  No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack in Kabul, but both Taliban and Islamic State militants are active in the capital and have staged attacks in Kabul.

An afternoon nap can boost happiness as well as improve behaviour and academic performance of children, a study has found.
Researchers from  and the University of California (UC) Irvine in the US conducted a study of nearly 3,000 fourth, fifth, and sixth graders aged 10-12.
The study, published in the journal SLEEP, showed a connection between midday napping and greater happiness, self-control, and grit; fewer behavioral problems; and higher IQ.
"Children who napped three or more times per week benefit from a 7.6 per cent increase in academic performance in Grade 6," said Adrian Raine, from University of Pennsylvania.
"How many kids at school would not want their scores to go up by 7.6 points out of 100?" Raine said.
Sleep deficiency and daytime drowsiness are surprisingly widespread, with drowsiness affecting up to 20 per cent of all children, said Jianghong Liu, an associate professor at University of Pennsylvania.
While the negative cognitive, emotional, and physical effects of ...

Millions of Indonesians were on the move at the weekend as they returned home to villages and towns across the world's biggest Muslim nation to mark the end of Ramadan.
Some 15 million people were expected to clear out of Jakarta alone -- about half the megacity's population -- in an annual exodus known as "mudik" that leaves the capital's usually traffic-clogged streets nearly empty.
The migration takes a toll on Indonesia's roads, and travellers who pack their families and luggage into cars or motorbikes to face gruelling trips that can last up to 24 hours.
In past years scores of people have been killed in road accidents during the exodus.
Highways on Java island, which is home to more than half of Indonesia's 260 million people, were packed with travellers eager to celebrate the end of Ramadan with loved ones.
Holidaymakers also crowded into airports, train stations and ports to reach destinations across the 17,000 island archipelago.
Some even made their getaways on a bajaj, a ...

From a teenager in love with movies to becoming a global star, Chris Hemsworth says he has finally reached the point in his career where he can take a breath and enjoy the moment.
The Australian actor is one of the biggest stars of his generation after playing Thor in a number of movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Hemsworth, 35, says when he was 14, he loved movies like "Men In Black" and "Lord of the Rings", so it feels surreal to be now a part of such films.
"When I was 14, I didn't even know I wanted to be an actor. I just loved movies. And as a kid I wanted to live in these worlds like 'MIB' or 'Lord of the Rings'... It's quite strange now to be this. From the Marvel experience to 'MIB', being employed as an actor and to be working with the people I've worked with, it has been quite a trip for me.
"If you'd have asked me 10 years ago what was my dream or where I would hope to be in 10 years... this would be it. For the first time in my career, I'm really sort of pausing ...

Forgotten memories can be retrieved by stimulating a specific brain region using electrical currents, scientists have found for the first time.
The research, published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, shows that the left rostrolateral prefrontal cortex plays a critical role in memory recall.
"We found dramatically improved memory performance when we increased the excitability of this region," said Jesse Rissman, an assistant professor at University of California, Los Angeles in the US.
The left rostrolateral prefrontal cortex is important for high-level thought, including monitoring and integrating information processed in other areas of the brain, Rissman said.
This area is located behind the left side of the forehead, between the eyebrow and the hairline.
"We think this brain area is particularly important in accessing knowledge that you formed in the past and in making decisions about it," said Rissman.
The psychologists conducted experiments with three groups of people ...

Global airline industry is expected to rake in a profit of USD 28 billion this year, much lower than the earlier forecast of USD 35.5 billion, IATA said Sunday, as rising fuel prices and weakening world trade are adversely impacting the business environment.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA), a grouping of around 290 airlines, also said that overall costs are expected to grow by 7.4 per cent, outpacing a 6.5 per cent rise in revenues.
Further, profit per passenger would decline to USD 6.12 in 2019 from USD 6.85 last year.
Revising down its forecast, the IATA said the global air transport industry is projected to post a profit of USD 28 billion in 2019 compared to USD 35.5 billion estimated in December 2018.
"The business environment for airlines has deteriorated with rising fuel prices and a substantial weakening of world trade," the grouping said.
According to IATA, the airlines' fuel bill is projected to rise to USD 206 billion, which will represent 25 per cent of ..

Australia has warned Chris Gayle and company to be ready for for 'chin music' when it takes on West Indies in its second ICC World Cup game at Trent Bridge, Nottingham on Thursday.
Australia pacer Nathan Coulter-Nile said they are ready to give West Indies a taste of its own medicine -- bouncers -- to keep Gayle and company in check.
"You've got to give it (bowl bouncers) to the Windies, otherwise they just get on the front foot and pogo you everywhere," said the right-arm quick after Australia's seven-wicket win over Afghanistan in its World Cup opener here on Saturday.
"We'll definitely give it to them - we give it to every team. You've got to use your two (permitted bouncers per over).
"The grounds are so small and the wickets are generally pretty flat, so you've got to use bouncers when you can," he added.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will meet Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei later this month with Tokyo hoping to mediate between Washington and Tehran, a report said Sunday.
As tensions intensify between Iran and Japan's key ally the United States, Abe has reportedly proposed serving as a go-between and is said to be weighing up a state visit to Iran.
According to the Mainichi Shimbun report, Abe's planned meeting with influential Khamenei will be the first such talks between a Japanese premier and Tehran's supreme leader.
US President Donald Trump said last week he remained open to talks with Tehran during his state visit to Tokyo, appearing to have given the green light to Abe's plan.
Abe will also meet Iran's president Hassan Rouhani before meeting Khamenei during his tour to Iran from June 12 to 14, the newspaper said, citing unnamed government sources.
Before Trump flew to Japan, the United States had announced it was sending 1,500 extra troops to the region, ...

Japan PM to meet Iran's Khamenei to mediate with US: report

The 1989 crackdown on protesters in Beijing's Tiananmen Square was the correct policy, China's defence minister said Sunday.
"That incident was a political turbulence and the central government took measures to stop the turbulence which is a correct policy," General Wei Fenghe told a regional security forum in Singapore.
Speaking to fellow defence ministers, top military officers and academics from all over the world, Wei questioned why people still say that China "did not handle the incident properly".
"The 30 years have proven that China has undergone major changes," he said, adding that because of the government's action "China has enjoyed stability and development".
Beijing was the epicentre of student-led protests 30 years ago, with hundreds or possibly more than 1,000 killed by soldiers at the square on June 4, 1989.

Tiananmen crackdown 'correct' policy: China defence minister

The Israeli military confirmed Sunday it had attacked Syrian military positions in response to rockets fired from Syria at Mount Hermon in the occupied Golan Heights.
A statement from the military said it held the Syrian regime accountable "for every action taken against Israel," with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterating Israel's policy to "respond forcefully to any aggression against us." Two rockets were fired at Mount Hermon late Saturday, with the army saying on Sunday that one of them was "located within Israeli territory."
In response the army attacked "two Syrian artillery batteries, a number of observation and intelligence posts on the Golan Heights, and an SA-2 aerial defense battery," the Sunday statement said.
"During the strikes, an Israeli aerial defense system was activated due to Syrian anti-aircraft shooting. None of the rockets exploded in Israel." Netanyahu said he had ordered the attack following the rockets.
"We won't tolerate fire at our territory," he ...

Dozens of activists rallied in front of the Chinese embassy in Washington on Saturday to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the crackdown on the Tiananmen Square protests in Beijing.
Holding aloft banners and battery-powered candles, about 50 activists including Chinese political dissidents spoke of their hopes for democracy after the failure of the 1989 student protests that ended when the military intervened.
"I feel that people around the world are getting more and more impatient with the communist regime. And I feel that people start to realise that they can no longer tolerate this regime," said Wei Jingsheng, chairman of the Oversea Chinese Democracy Coalition.
The protests by students and workers demanding democratic changes and the eradication of corruption ended on June 4, 1989 when soldiers and tanks chased and killed demonstrators and onlookers in the streets leading to Tiananmen Square.
The government still keeps a lid on what really happened and the number of dead.  But ..

Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib said his side would learn from their seven-wicket humbling by Australia on Saturday as they seek to regroup for the rest of their World Cup campaign.
The rank outsiders at the tournament in England and Wales had a terrible start against the defending champions in Bristol, slumping to five for two, with both openers out for nought.
They fought back bravely, with 43 from Rahmat Shah and 51 from Najibullah Zadran, but were still dismissed for 207 with more than 11 overs to spare.
Australia romped to victory in the 35th over of their innings, David Warner top-scoring with 89 not out.
Naib said his side did not get the momentum they needed at the start of the innings because they lost early wickets, saying they could not afford to cede the initiative against strong sides.
"Definitely, we can play against these kind of teams, so you should take positive things from them," he said.
"Obviously, we have a tough match upcoming. Every team, especially for us, is 

Afghanistan pledge to learn from Australia World Cup drubbing

Australia launched their World Cup campaign with an efficient victory over Afghanistan -- and appeared totally unfazed by the hostile reception given to Steve Smith and David Warner.
A seven-wicket win in Bristol against the 10th-ranked nation in one-day international cricket on Saturday set the reigning champions on their way in the competition, though they know there will be tougher tests ahead.
Australia had their opponents on the ropes at five for two but the Afghans rallied and reached 207, even though they failed to bat out their 50 overs.
David Warner top-scored for Australia with 89 not out in his first official international match after completing a one-year ball-tampering ban as they reached their target with more than 15 overs to spare.
But both Warner and Smith, also banned over the "sandpapergate" scandal, were subjected to jeers from the crowd after suffering a similar fate during last week's warm-up match against England.
Two fans even watched the game in Bristol from a

Huawei is not a military company despite its founder Ren Zhengfei's previous career in the army, China's Defence Minister General Wei Fenghe said Sunday, amid growing US-China tensions over trade and technology in which the Chinese telecom giant has been a main target.
The US placed Huawei on an "entity list" on grounds of national security on May 16, a move that curbs its access to US-made components it needs for its equipment. The Department of Commerce alleged that Huawei was engaged in activities that are contrary to US national security or foreign policy interest.
The Trump administration later issued a 90-day reprieve on its ban on dealing with Huawei, saying breathing space was needed to allow for software updates and other contractual obligations.
"Huawei is not a military company. Do not think that because the head of Huawei used to serve in the military, then the company that he built is part of the military," General Wei said while speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue in ...

Thirty years after they fled the bullets and tanks, Tiananmen exiles say their dream of returning to a democratic China are more distant than ever as their homeland descends further into authoritarianism and state surveillance.
Zhou Fengsuo has always erred on the side of optimism.
Five years ago, to mark the 25th anniversary of Beijing's deadly crackdown, he took advantage of a 72-hour transit visa to sneak back into China on his American passport.
It was an act that would be unthinkable now.
Under President Xi Jinping, China has returned to a level of oppression not seen since the Mao era, its security apparatus bolstered by cutting edge technology and the party's ability to silence critics virtually unchallenged.
"There is no reason to be optimistic for China now if you look at what's happening," said Zhou, a former student leader who was number five on Beijing's 'Most Wanted' list in the aftermath of the crackdown and who now lives in the United States.  "It's darkening day by ...

Austrian star Dominic Thiem was left fuming after apparently being kicked out of his own Roland Garros media conference so that a defeated Serena Williams could be accommodated instead.
Thiem, the fourth seed in the men's event and the 2018 runner-up, was conducting his post-match press obligations after reaching the last 16 on Saturday.
However, he was then informed that the main interview room was needed by American superstar Williams who had just suffered a third round loss to Sofia Kenin.
It was the 23-time Grand Slam title winner's earliest exit at a Slam in almost five years and she was eager to be away from the tournament site as quickly as possible.
"It's a joke," said 25-year-old Thiem to media officers after being told he should finish his interviews in a smaller room.
"I have to leave the room because she's coming. What the hell, I don't care. I can also do whatever I want." There was no indication as to who had decided to shift Thiem mid-flow.
However, French sports daily .

Thiem rages at press conference eviction for Serena

Serena Williams' bid to win a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title was thwarted again when she suffered her earliest exit at the majors in almost five years, prompting more questions over her long-term future at the highest level.
Her 6-2 7-5 French Open third round defeat by US compatriot Sofia Kenin on Saturday meant that she failed again to move level with Margaret Court's majors record set between 1960 and 1973.
She will be 38 in September and her 23rd and most recent Slam triumph was at the Australian Open in 2017 while pregnant.
After giving birth to daughter Olympia Alexis in September 2017, she returned to Grand Slam tennis at Roland Garros in 2018, making the last 16 where she had been set to resume her bitter rivalry with Maria Sharapova.
An arm injury torpedoed that meeting and stalled her assault on a fourth title in Paris after 2002, 2013 and 2015.
