adapting A League of Their Own into a TV series in 2017. Will and Abbi wanted to expand on the subtext that is seen in the 1992 film and bring it to the forefront, namely the inclusion of queer and BIPOC characters in the central story.
This is my random segue to say that if you loved A League of Their Own, go watch Dickinson on Apple TV+. It's smart, funny, and filled with LGBTQ+ stories too.Max's story allows A League of Their Own to shed light on stories that were overlooked during that time period, and often still are in modern-day TV shows.Whether you know some of these actors or not, I highly suggest checking out some fo their other work outside of A League of Their Own.
