In the world of TV, all things must be done. Even the longest plays eventually come to the end of the road, let them be planned or because they were canceled. That's just part of the deal. However, in the streaming era, it feels like too many series have their own things extremely short. And Amazon The premiere video is of course no exception when it comes to final shows prematurely. However, even in and among those representations, the "League of their own" stands out as the only case.

Inspired by both true historical events and by 1992 Penny Marshall Film with the same name, "League of its own" Two very different women of Queer - Carson (Abi Jaceacobson) and Max (Cante Adams) - because they pursue their dreams to play baseball during World War II. Obeykobson, from the fame "Brod City", co-created a play along with Will Graham ("Mozart in the jungle").

What makes this giving up so tricky is that Amazon has previously handed over the second season show. However, in August 2023, "League of its own" was canceled in the premiere video Despite the previous recovery. The pre-production began with what was supposed to be a shorter second season of the show, but then the months-long strikes of America's writers in 2023 began. It was soon followed by the guild of the actors on the screen, which surpassed the strike, which strengthened Hollywood for months at the end.

At the time, it was said that WGA and SAG strikes were to blame for the show to be renewed. However, Hollywood study and streamers have been held for months of making a fair agreement with guilds. As a result, both the "League of their own" and several other series could be preserved very well if both sides managed to reconcile sooner than later.

The League of its own has met mainly positive reviews from critics, as well as a very solid response from the audience. Merics of streaming shows are known awkward, and they were even fewer ironing when the play premiered in 2022. For what is worth, worth it, Televisionstats.com League lists of its own as the 86th most popular show in the premiere video as a whole, but it is three years after the initial premiere. In short, it doesn't tell us much.

"#ALAEGEFTHEROWN is not a small or low show. The audience is home, but our understanding is very big. He has surpassed many other shows that have been renewed," Graham said of Twitter In March 2023.

When Prime Video renewed the shorter second -season series of four episodes, a plane was flying into the headquarters of Amazon Prime Video in Culture City with a banner that wrote a "renewed" league of its own "#Morethanfour". So, the fan -base for the show was passionate, it is very sure.

In April 2023, Hollywood reporter He noted that the play cost about $ 90 million in production for eight episodes, which is expensive. But at the same time, there are certainly far more expensive shows there. Amazon, in particular, The $ 465 million is absurd about making a unique season of "Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power". But the expectation of streamers is that the expensive series should draw a huge crowd. Regardless of the power he wanted to blame, they clearly thought that the "league of their own" was not worth returning after the dust of the strikes was resolved.

Much of the problem for this show, in particular, returns to the same part of April 2023 from Thr. It was explained that Amazon relied a lot on focus group data for its series. Amazon executives reportedly at a marketing meeting for "League of Own" that "data has shown that the audience has found stories of queer." It was then suggested that they minimize these topics in marketing. Graham expressed concern about bias in the system, which ranked directly, white male leads to everyone else.

Taking up Instagram In August 2023, after the show was canceled, Jaceacobson shared his gratitude, saying: "What happiness I had to say these stories and play this character that I love so much. How rare work in life. And so today I'm sad." Expanding her sadness, Obeykobson did not delete words:

"To blame this strike, (which is an essential struggle for fair salaries, protection and working conditions, etc. ...) is bulls ** and cowardly. But this post is not all about it. For all the ways this show has been announced.

This post here is about the special show that I was lucky to make with so many incredibly talented artists and actors and writers and crew. Show I am so proud of. Filled to the edge with stories worth telling. Full of so much heart and soul and value. Thank you for watching.

"The fate of the show seems to be dictated by the opinions of people who would probably never see the show in the first place." BJ Collangelo wrote for /movie after news of cancellation. Unfortunately, whether the strikes, the lack of the focus of the Amazon group system, which was established at the time, or a simple analysis of the costs/benefits that every show goes through these days, this particular series, recognized, although it may have been a victim of both the circumstances and the horrific timing.

"League of its own" is streaming now in the premiere video.
