Abbi Jacobson called the strikes 'an essential fight.'
The Big Picture There may be no second chances in baseball, but there are no second seasons either it seems, as it was announced last week that Amazon's A League of Their Own had officially been canceled, despite previously being renewed. The reason for the cancelation supposedly fell with the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which have left numerous shows and movies at a standstill, as studios continue to refuse to negotiate with writers and actors.
Based on the classic 1992 film of the same name, which starred Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Rosie O'Donnell, and Madonna, the show was created by Jacobson and Will Graham. Jacobson starred in the show alongside D’Arcy Carden, Chante Adams, Melanie Field and Kate Berlant, as it followed the story of a group of women baseball players.
Jacobson rebutted this reasoning however, as she reflected on her time on the show in an Instagram post, writing "What luck I have had to get to tell these stories and play this character I love so much. What a rare thing in life. And so I am sad today." She continued "To blame this cancelation on the strike, is bullshit and cowardly.
Jacobson is Proud of A League of Their Own Choosing to focus on the positives of her experience however, Jacobson continued to write "But this post isn’t about all that. About all the ways this show has been put through the ringer. Not today. This post here is about the special show I was lucky to make with so many incredibly talented artists and actors and writers and crew. A show I’m so proud of. Filled to the brim with stories worth telling. Full of so much heart and soul and value.
