The series co-creator, alongside fellow creator Will Graham, executive producer Desta Tedros Reff, star Chanté Adams and former All-American Girls Professional Baseball League player Maybelle Blair explain how the show diverges from Penny Marshall's film.

Jacobson said viewers can expect a “couple nods” to the film. Specifically, when it comes to the cast, Jacobson noted “there’s little bits” of the film characters, but “everyone is unique.”

“I don’t think any characters are really mapped on to anyone. Darcy’s character has a Madonna vibe but is nothing like that character, at all. Melanie Fields’ character Joe is a little bit of a Rosie visual,” Jacobson said. “In the pilot, we nod to the movie the most, and there are nods as you keep going.”

“It was really fun to get to nod to it,” she added. “People are coming in being like, ‘Are they gonna do it?'”
