Baseball season starts August 12th, but for just one league.

That’s A League Of Their Own, the Amazon Prime series based on the 1992 Penny Marshall film of the same name, set during World War II when women were allowed to play professional baseball as most of the male players were off fighting the war.

The series, shot in Western Pennsylvania, follows the women playing for the Rockford Peaches, a team on the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. The series, co-created by Broad City‘s Abbi Jacobson, who stars as Carson Shaw, will feature some brand new characters and begin with the foundation of the league in 1943.

The show will take a deeper look at the racism, sexism and other hurdles the women had to overcome in order to do what they love, or in the case of Jacobson’s character, who they love. In the trailer, Chanté Adams as Max is denied a tryout on the team until she wows the managers with her throwing. And Carson is shown flirting with another teammate, Greta, played by D’Arcy Carden.

Sexism, of course, is rampant; coach Dove (Nick Offerman) suggests that if their uniform skirts were shorter, they’d get more men in the audience, and Max is required to work in a steel factory, still staffed mostly by men, in order to get a position on the team.

Also in the cast are Melanie Field, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Roberta Colindrez, Saidah Arrika Ekulona, Kate Berlant, Kendall Johnson, Kelly McCormack, Alex Désert, Priscilla Delgado, Aaron Jennings, Molly Ephraim, Melanie Field, and Dale Dickey. Jacobson is exectutive producer, along with Will Graham, who co-created the series with her.
