The Sandlot (TV Series)

Post by Sotiris »

It's rumored the series will debut on Disney Plus.
The original Sandlot crew is prepping to play some more ball, according to the writer-director of the first two movies.

A TV reboot-sequel is in the works with the cast of the first film returning, David Mickey Evans told The Rain Delay podcast on Thursday. "I just sold a Sandlot television show. We're about to get an order for the first two seasons," he told host Cooperstown Kurt. Evans said he couldn't tell Kurt who was going to stream it but "I know who's going to stream it. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out right now."

He added, "I already got all the original cast members back. It takes place in 1984, when they’re all like 33 years old and they all have children of their own, and that's all I can tell you,” Evans said. Evans did not say which of the cast members would be returning; the original film was set in the San Fernando Valley in 1962. The second film featured a different cast including James Earl Jones and Gregg Germann.

The project is separate from another Sandlot property in development, 20th Century Fox's prequel to the iconic 1993 baseball film, co-penned by Evans and Austin Reynolds.

The series has been canceled.
Q: What’s the status of The Sandlot original cast reunion series that was announced for Disney+ way back in 2019? Is it even still happening?

Matt Webb Mitovich: It looks like it barely stepped up to the plate; sources tell me the Sandlot series is no longer in development.
