April 2 (UPI) — Amazon is developing a television series based on 1992 film A League of Their Own which followed an all-female baseball team during World War II.
The series is being written and executive produced by Broad City co-creator and star Abbi Jacobson along with Will Graham (Mozart in the Jungle), Deadline reported. Sony Pictures television is producing.
The half-hour comedy will not follow the original film closely and will present a modern take on the story while featuring a new version of the Rockford Peaches as they take the field, Variety reported.
Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Lori Petty, Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell starred in A League of Their Own from director Penny Marshall. The film was a critical and commercial success earning $107 million domestically.
