Prime Video’s “A League of Their Own” series only just launched, but the show’s creators are already hard at work on a potential second season.“We’re here with you taking a break from working on Season 2 of the show,” series co-creator Will Graham told TheWrap in a recent interview. “There definitely is a lot more to this story.”The first season, out on Prime Video now, sees Carson Shaw (Abbi Jacobson), Greta Gill (D’Arcy Carden), Jo De Luca (Melanie Field) and more gather at tryouts for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, eventually settling on the story of the Rockford Peaches.

Within the Illinois-based team are stories of all kinds of women, but one storyline falls outside the AAGPBL with Max Chapman (Chanté Adams), who carves her own niche in baseball later on in the show.

Season 1 ends with some physical and literal twists, but the story is far from over.“The starting place for us was not ‘let’s do this movie again’ the way that the sort of reboot culture is now in Hollywood,” Graham said. “It was really looking into the stories underneath it and seeing that there was a much bigger story here in the real story that was about a whole generation of women who wanted to play ball and that includes the characters who are the foundation of Max’s character.”Inspiration for Max was found in players like Connie Morgan, Toni Stone and Mamie Johnson, who were the first three women who went on to play in the Negro Leagues.“I think some people don’t realize the movie is based on the real All American Girls [Professional Baseball League] and the real Rockford Peaches,” said writer Desta Tedros Reff. “So it was like stepping back, stepping into that history and realizing how much more of the story hadn’t been told.
