A television adaptation of the 1992 movie A League of Their Own is coming to Amazon Prime Video.

The hourlong series, co-created by Broad City star Abbi Jacobson and Mozart in the Jungle director Will Graham, will focus the real-life All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, just like the film, which starred Geena Davis, Tom Hanks and Madonna. This adaptation, though, will take a deeper look at race and sexuality as part of the ensemble cast’s storylines.
