The series hails from Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television, in association with Field Trip Productions.

It will span eight episodes, all of them dropping on Friday, Aug. 12 on the streaming service.

It’s described as evoking “the joyful spirit of Penny Marshall’s beloved classic, while widening the lens to tell the story of an entire generation of women who dreamed of playing professional baseball. The show takes a deeper look at race and sexuality, following the journey of a whole new ensemble of characters as they carve their own paths towards the field, both in the league and outside of it.”
