Wayne native Abbi Jacobson is not happy with Amazon’s decision to pull the plug on the final season of her A League of Their Own reboot after the streaming giant had previously renewed the show, writes Franki Rudnesky for PhillyVoice. 

The four-episode season was scheduled to start filming before winter. Amazon claims that the reason for the cancellation is the ongoing writers’ and actors’ strikes. 

Jacobson took to Instagram to both express gratitude and sadness about the end of the show.

“What luck I have had to get to tell these stories and play this character I love so much. What a rare thing in life. And so I am sad today,” she wrote. “This post here is about the special show I was lucky to make with so many incredibly talented artists and actors and writers and crew. A show I’m so proud of. Filled to the brim with stories worth telling. Full of so much heart and soul and value.” 

Jacobson, who is a Conestoga High School graduate, co-created the show with Will Graham. The show reimagines the classic 1992 baseball film of the same name and puts the focus on women of color and queer women.
