The sibling rivalry doesn’t need to be present in order to make this series work. If anything, following a group of women who are just playing baseball together makes for a less melodramatic premise. We could be looking at something like GLOW but set in the world of baseball in 1943, and that’s sounds just fine to us.
Considering the setting of the story, we’ll likely see further exploration of the role of women during World War II, but through the lens of one of the less conventional careers they took on while men were away fighting. Jacobson is an outstanding comedy writer, and I can’t wait to see how she tackles a league of professional female baseball players during this time period with a contemporary voice. Plus, I’m sure the cast will be full of even more outstanding comedy talent, so stay tuned to see who else joins.
