A League of Their Own star D'Arcy Carden sends a hopeful message to fans waiting for season 2. Offering a different take on the memorable 1992 baseball film of the same name, A League of Their Own premiered on Prime Video in August 2022. The series follows different characters than the movie, taking place in 1943 and focusing on the formation of a World War II-era women's professional baseball team. Along with Abbi Jacobson and Carden, the reboot also stars Chanté Adams, Roberta Colindrez, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Kelly McCormack, Molly Ephraim, Melanie Field, and Priscilla Delgado.

In an interview with IndieWire to promote her role in the new movie Shotgun Wedding, Carden also discussed whether Prime Video will confirm A League of Their Own season 2. Even though The Good Place alum had no official news to share, she did thank fans of the reboot for their push to get the baseball drama another round of episodes. Carden gave a shoutout to all the tweets about the show, mentioning how the cast is eager to begin filming the second installment. Carden's quote is included below:

"How can it still be this long [and no Season 2 renewal]? I don’t have any updates, other than the way the fans are still being so active on social media with hashtagging. It almost feels like it’s a part-time job. It’s amazing. There is no shortage of #RenewALOTO. Every day there’s thousands of tweets about it and it’s really just beyond our wildest dreams and it’s really so nice people would care enough to ask me that question, let alone tweet it a million times. It’s really lovely and the cast and I, we just want to get back on that damn baseball field and shoot Season 2."

The cast of A League Of Their Own

Part of the issue in assessing whether there's a path forward for the reboot is that, even less than rival streaming services, such as Netflix, Prime Video doesn't make a habit of releasing viewership data. That can make it difficult to measure whether a show is successful or even what executives want out of a project like A League Of Their Own. For the sake of comparison, Prime Video made the surprising and sharply criticized decision to cancel As We See It after just one season — even though the dramedy about three roommates was small scale, hardly costing as much to produce as other Prime Video dramas like The Rings of Power and The Wheel of Time.

One thing that speaks favorably of A League of Their Own, as Carden indicates, is that fans have been vocal in their support. A decision could be reached that, even though the first season might not have hit the exact viewership numbers that executives hoped for, it's worth keeping around because of the generally positive reviews and the fact that it might build enough buzz for a stronger second outing. As it stands now, Prime Video is very much the home of The Boys franchise and adaptations of sci-fi stories or spy thrillers, with little room for the sorts of stories that A League of Their Own highlights.

It seems hopeful, in the absence of hard data, that A League of Their Own season 2 could happen. But, in any case, it would be helpful to know at least generally how these smaller shows perform. It would allow the cast and creatives, and even fans themselves, to make more informed decisions about how to discuss the futures of their projects.
