As far as fans of A League of Their Own are concerned, Prime Video is enemy number one this week. The fan-favorite baseball series, based on the 1992 film of the same name, was canceled again after initially being renewed for a shortened second season. The move has angered fans, the cast, and the show’s two co-creators, especially since Prime Video blamed the cancellation on the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes.
Of course, I am one of those fans who was outraged when the news broke. The news felt like getting hit with a stray pitch! Though the series is not the first to have a renewal offer canceled, it is still surprising given how much critical acclaim the series has received. In my opinion, Prime Video has never valued the gem that is A League of Their Own, and there are so many fantastic stories and lessons that deserve more screen time, which is why I hope it finds a new home.
