A class of its own: trailer for the series adaptation – from August 12th

As Fabio already informed you in the course of the first teaser, we are facing the series adaptation of a true film classic. In 1992, “A League of Their Own” (original title: “A League of Their Own”) told the good old underdog story in US sports, with Tom Hanks as the prejudiced baseball coach who coached a women’s team (including with Geena Davis and Lori Petty) train “must”. Three decades later, Amazon Prime Video is telling a similar story in series form, although the German title seems to have been dropped and the format will be distributed internationally as “A League of Their Own”. But instead of a modern version set in the present day, it goes back to the WWII era. That should provide a lot of potential in terms of socio-political drama that also takes place away from the sports field. Here is the official trailer for the new series:

„A League of Their Own evokes the joyful spirit of Penny Marshall’s beloved classic, while widening the lens to tell the story of an entire generation of women who dreamed of playing professional baseball, both inside the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League and outside of it.“

Among other things, we will be there Abbi Jacobson (the voice of Bean in “Disenchantment”), D’Arcy Carden („The Good Place“), Kelly McCormack („Killjoys“), Roberta Colindrez („The Deuce“), Molly Ephraim („Perry Mason“), Melanie Field (“You: You will love me”) or also Kate Berlant (“Space Force”). Incidentally, Abbi Jacobson is also responsible for the development of the story, which she did together with Will Graham, who was responsible for the film debacle “Movie 43” for which I will never be able to forgive him…

The first season of “A League of Their Own” will consist of eight episodes and will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on Friday 12th August 2022.
