A League Of Their Own co-creator responds to season 2 cancellation with a powerful statement
The co-creator for A League of Their Own has spoken out after the series’ shocking cancellation. On 18 August, Deadline revealed that the previously green-lit second and final season of the series would no longer move forward at Prime Video.
While the streamer refrained from making an official announcement, various reports said the decision stemmed from the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA stikes – which co-creator and star Abbi Jacobson vehemently denied. “To blame this cancellation on the strike, (which is an essential fight for fair wages, protections and working conditions, etc…) is bullshit and cowardly,” the Broad City star wrote on Instagram.
Now, the show’s other creator and executive producer, Will Graham, has shared his thoughts on the cancellation news with a heartfelt Twitter thread. “To the League fans, We found out this news along with you on Friday.
I see the pain and anger and worry out there, which for the LGBTQIA+ fans of the show is, of course, compounded by what’s happening across the country right now,” he wrote. “So the first and most important thing to say is: Before anything, before you fight for the show or each other, please take care of yourselves.
