Abbi Jacobson stars in first trailer for A League of Their Own reimagining
The first teaser trailer for Prime Video’s reimagining of Penny Marshall’s classic film A League of Their Own has landed. Co-created by Will Graham and Abbi Jacobson, who also stars in the lead role, the series centres on the real-life all-female baseball league in 1943.
Jacobson, best known for her role as Abbi Abrams in the critically-acclaimed comedy Broad City, stars as Carson Shaw, a catcher who joins the team during World War II and becomes romantically involved with Greta (D’Arcy Carden).
According to a synopsis from Prime Video, the series will follow the team as they “fight to keep it alive through close games, injuries, sexual awakenings and road trips across a rapidly changing U.S.” A League of Their Own also stars Chanté Adams as Max, Roberta Colindrez as Mita, Gbemisola Ikumelo as Clance, Kelly McCormack as Jess, Priscilla Delgado as Esti González and Nick Offerman as Casey “Dove” Porter.
The supporting cast includes Melanie Field, Molly Ephraim, Kate Berlant, Lil Frex and Nat Faxon, while Rosie O’Donnell, who starred as Doris Murphy in the original film, returns as a bartender.
