Prime Video’s upcoming sports dramedy, A League of Their Own, is an adaptation of Penny Marshall’s 1992 eponymous classic film. Co-created by Will Graham and Abbi Jacobson, the story revolves around an entire generation of women joining forces to play professional baseball inside and outside the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) during World War II.

The stellar cast features D’Arcy Carden, Chanté Adams, Melanie Field, Priscilla Delgado, Gbemisola Ikumel, Roberta Colindrez, and Kelly McCormack. Recently, D’Arcy and Melanie, who play the roles of Greta Gill and Jo De Luca respectively, spoke about the friendship they forged on the set, and off-camera.

“Jo and Greta’s friendship, which is so deep and almost like family, is hard for two actors, who have never met each other, to fake,” said D’Arcy. “But Melanie and I lucked out with this instant bond and sort of undeniable chemistry that we found in the audition room. I think it was very, very easy to form friendships.

It was never forced chemistry. It was so natural. Our characters have created this set of rules and they have lived life, been all over the world, with so many adventures. They have had highs and lows, success, and failure, and eventually learned what works for them. So, this is like you don’t deviate from the rules we created for ourselves.”

A League of Their Own will be available on Prime Video starting 12th August in more than 240 countries and territories.
