Following months of negotiations, Amazon has handed out a second and final season renewal for the “A League of Their Own” TV series which will get a new four-episode run to finish off the story.
The remake of Penny Marshall’s classic 1992 sports comedy feature, the series dealt with an entire generation of women who dreamed of playing professional baseball.
Along the way, the show takes a deeper look at race and sexuality, following the journey of a whole new ensemble of characters as they carve their own paths towards the field, both in the League and outside of it.
The cast includes Abbie Jacobson, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Chanté Adams, D’Arcy Carden, Roberta Colindrez, Nick Offerman, Saidah Arrika Ekulona, Kate Berlant, Kendall Johnson, Kelly McCormack, Alex Désert, Priscilla Delgado, Aaron Jennings, Molly Ephraim, Melanie Field and Dale Dickey.
Showrunners Will Graham and Abbi Jacobson also return with the cast signing new deals for the shortened final season. The first season scored very strong reviews along with numerous awards wins.
Viewing data for the series has not been released by Amazon, but this shorter, limited series form ending reportedly follows in the wake other possible plans including a scratched telemovie wrap-up.
