A League of Their Own Creators Confirm They Would Love a Season 2
At the Television Critics Association (TCA) Summer Press Tour, A League of Their Own creators: Abbi Jacobson and Will Graham, claim to have already discussed a season two in the works. Based on the original 1992 film, the 2022 series captivates audiences with its representation of queerness and diversity.
The series is about a group of women drafted into professional baseball during World War II. They face issues of sexism and discrimination as they play the sport professionally.
Abbi Jacobson embodies the role of Carson Shaw, a character who runs away from her suburban life to be a part of an all-girl baseball team. Chanté Adams (Roxane Roxane) enters the field as Maxine Chapman, a talented pitcher, trying to overcome racial discrimination. D’Arcy Carden (The Good Place) stars as team player Greta Gill and takes an interest in Carson.
If you’re looking for a show to fill the cancelled sapphic tv show void in your heart, I truly can’t recommend A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN enough. The characters, the friendships, the romance, the story. 10/10.

A League of Their Own isn’t just gay, it captures multiple facets of queer life, even hidden queer life that existed back then. And it’s fantastic. I’ve rewatched the show twice already just to revel in it.

Due to hit reviews from queer audiences, some speculate if there will be a second season. Developers of the show responded to this question at the TCA Summer Press Tour.
At the TCA Summer Panel, Abbi Jacobson states, “We would love to have a second season.”
Head writer Desta Tedros Reffs states she’s never been a part of a show like this that explores themes of queerness and blackness. If season two were to happen, she claims she would feel excited to delve deeper into these stories.
Co-creator Will Graham confirms that they have already started writing season two and hope to shoot in mid-spring. Fans can rest assured that the creators and writers on the team are just as eager to launch their efforts into creating a second season.
In the meantime, fans can stream the first season of A League of Their Own on Amazon Prime Video. Check out the trailer down below.
