Disney+ Announces Premiere Date for ‘Big Shot’
Disney+ announced a premiere date for Big Shot, a sports dramedy starring Yvette Nicole Brown, Jessalyn Gilsig, and John Stamos.
Disney+ is inviting its viewers to stream a series about “second chances,” a term coined by Yvette Nicole Brown who is starring in the series. The upcoming sports drama-comedy Big Shot will be streaming on Disney+ starting April 16. Big Shot had been created years ago by David E. Kelley, most famously known for the series Ally McBeal (1997-2002) and Big Little Lies (2017-2019).
Big Shot tells the story of Coach Marvyn Korn, (played by John Stamos) who is described as a hot-headed basketball coach. Stamos’ character gets kicked out of the NCAA and decides to take on a job coaching at an all-girls school. Stamos’ character will work hard to help the teenage girls become better players on and off the court.
#BigShot I play a hot-headed coach who gets kicked out of the @NCAA and as part of his road to redemption, is forced to coach at an all girls private high school in Laguna. How’s that for a log line? I love this show- hope you will too. APRIL 16th – @disneyplus #DavidEKelley pic.twitter.com/OQp5KQhjqL

Yvette Nicole Brown will take on the role of Sherilyn Thomas, the dean of the school. Brown makes the comment that the show is about second chances for every character, not just Coach Korn, who is probably the most obvious character to undergo growth and development as of right now.
Happy #TCA Day, Everybody! I’m up early to tell the world all about my new @disneyplus show with the fabulous @JohnStamos, @JessalynGilsig —and a group of new talented, smart, beauties you will fall in LOVE with—called #BigShot https://t.co/tZM429CLJU pic.twitter.com/7nTorWapLD

Vikings actress, Jessalyn Gilsig, will portray Holly, the down-to-earth assistant basketball coach, who will coach alongside Stamos’ character. Stamos and Gilsig’s characters are the complete opposites so this will prove to be an interesting dynamic.
life is all about the pivot thank u @YNB for making us look good as you always do 😉 can’t wait for the world to seee @bigshot April 16 @disneyplus with @JohnStamos !!#bigshot #disneyplus https://t.co/qOTa2OIwAT
