Amazon Prime Video will bring back its baseball-themed series A League of Their Own with a limited, four-episode second and final season, the streamer said.
The series, based on a retelling of Penny Marshall’s 1992 film of the same name, follows the story of an entire generation of women who dreamed of playing professional baseball. The show’s first season took a deeper look at race and sexuality both in the league and outside of it, according to Prime Video.
The series from Sony Pictures Television stars Abbi Jacobson, Chante Adams, D’Arcy Carden, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Roberta Colindrez, and Nick Offerman.
Executive producers for A League of Their Own include Jacobson, Will Graham, Hailey Wierengo, Desta Tedros Reff and Jamie Babbit.
