Sky has ordered a final farewell season of sports comedy panel show A League of Their Own after 15 years on air.
The team will begin filming its farewell series in Manchester this August — in front of its largest live audiences to date — ahead of airing on Sky Max and streaming on NOW later this year.
Romesh Ranganathan will return to host the 20th anniversary series, alongside team captains Jamie Redknapp and Jill Scott, and series regular Micah Richards.
Phil Edgar-Jones, Executive Director of Original Unscripted at Sky, said: “Series 20 is the perfect opportunity to celebrate everything A League of Their Own has achieved and to give it the send-off it truly deserves.”
“We’re incredibly proud of the show — it’s been a cornerstone of Sky’s entertainment line-up for fifteen years and has delivered endless laughter, heart, and unforgettable moments. Huge thanks to the brilliant team at CPL Productions and to our fantastic on-screen line-up — Romesh, Jamie, Jill and Micah — who continue to bring such energy and chemistry to the show.”
Murray Boland, Creative Director, CPL Productions said: “The first episode of A League of Their Own was broadcast in March 2010. The idea we’d still be making the show in 15 years’ time, having also made nine series of ALOTO Road Trips and won two BAFTAs would’ve sounded totally impossible. It’s been an incredible journey. We would like to thank all the amazing performers, guests and sports stars for all the laughs and inspiration. We’d also like to thank all the brilliant people who’ve worked so hard on the production team and crew.
“Thank you to Sky for allowing us the privilege of making the show and a huge thank you to the fans who have watched and supported the show over the years.”
