Abbi Jacobson says it was “so important” to represent “different types” of queerness in Prime Video's new series A League of Their Own. 

A new version of the women’s baseball tale, best known from the 1992 movie, incorporates stories about queer identity and race.

The stars of Amazon’s new hit series opened up about their 15-year friendship, queer representation, and playing lovers in ‘A League of Their Own.’

Main Line native Abbi Jacobson co-wrote and stars in 'A League of Their Own,' a reboot of the beloved 1993 sports film that premiered on Amazon Prime Video on Friday. The eight-episode series features a Black baseball superstar unable to find a team that will accept her, an openly LGBTQ relationship, and Rosie O'Donnell as a guest star. The full series is available to stream on Prime Video.

Prime Video's episodic reboot eventually hits its stride.

The Amazon Prime series, co-created by Abbi Jacobson and Will Graham, is both a loving descendant of the 1992 film of the same name, and an ambitious effort to address its conspicuous gaps.
