Lucha Underground Executive Producer Eric Van Wagenen has responded to a report by Dave Meltzer of f4wonline.com regarding the company’s future. This week, Meltzer reported that Lucha Underground currently has enough money to get them through the Season 3 tapings, which begin in May and will air in the summer of 2017. After that, the company will reportedly have to raise more funds in order to secure a 4th season.
It’s no secret that Lucha Underground is an expensive show to produce. It’s concerning that they do not have much revenue coming in to speak of, with a source telling Meltzer that Lucha Underground has lost as much money in 2 years as TNA lost after their first 10 years.

There are still hopes of producing a Lucha Underground movie next year, but that will depend on the show continuing to grow in popularity and generating some level of revenue.
