Amazon has renewed “A League of Their Own” for Season 2, which will also be the show’s last. The first season consisted of eight episodes, while the second season will consist of just four. The officially announcement comes about a month after it was reported that “A League of Their Own” would be coming to an end with an abbreviated second season.

Said series creators Will Graham and Abbi Jacobson: “Making this show and seeing the impact it has had in the world has been an incredible joy. While obviously we were hoping for eleven seasons, we’re grateful to be able to continue to tell the story of these characters and this world.”

“A League of Their Own,” based on the classic film of the same name directed by Penny Marshall, stars Jacobson, D’Arcy Carden, Chante Adams, Melanie Field and Kate Berlant. The official description of the show says that it tells “the story of an entire generation of women who dreamed of playing professional baseball. The show takes a deeper look at race and sexuality, following the journey of a whole new ensemble of characters as they carve their own paths towards the field, both in the league and outside of it.”

See Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee in the trailer for ‘The Muppets Mayhem’

shutterstock_1344644333535775

Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee is among the famous faces featured in a new trailer for the upcoming Disney+ series The Muppets Mayhem. The show centers around Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, the rock band that originated on The Muppet Show in 1975. As the trailer explains, ‘despite being popular and influential, the Mayhem never recorded an album. The series chronicles their attempt to do, while the band also figures out the quirks of the modern music industry.’

Lee’s appearance comes at the start of the trailer, with the drummer praising the Muppet band for having impacted his career:  “The Mayhem? They taught Motley Crue how to shred and party!” Lee declares before lifting up his shirt to reveal a large “Mayhem” tattoo. “They tattooed their name on me when I was passed out! What?” Other cameos seen in the trailer include Cheech and Chong, Weird Al Yankovic, Lil Nas X, Steve Aoki, Chris Stapleton, Paula Abdul and Zedd.

The Muppets Mayhem will be released begin streaming on May 10. Watch the trailer for The Muppets Mayhem – here.
