The story follows narratives of Carson Shaw (Abbi Jacobson) and Maxine Chapman (Chanté Adams) as Shaw secures a spot on the Rockford Peaches in the league and Chapman is turned away but later finds a spot in the minor leagues.

A supporting ensemble cast of Max’s best friend Clance Morgan (Gbemisola Ikumelo), Lupe García (Roberta Colindrez), Jess McCready (Kelly McCormack), Esti González (Priscilla Delgado), Maybelle Fox (Molly Ephraim), Shirley Cohen (Kate Berlant) and Coach Dove Porter (Nick Offerman) have storylines as well.Co-creator Will Graham has been very active on Twitter, posting a thread before the news leaked and adding to it after.“Just to answer the questions: The stuff that came out today is a leak and it isn’t official, which is why we aren’t saying anything,” he wrote. “So if you want to see more episodes or mores seasons of this show, now is your moment.

People are listening.”Amazon has declined to comment to TheWrap and other media outlets since the news broke.“The audience is domestic, but our understanding is that it’s very big.
