Although the Pitch TV show was cancelled after just one season on FOX, executive producer Kevin Falls is pitching a TV movie to give some closure to the 10-episode drama series.
Pitch stars Kylie Bunbury as pitcher Ginny Baker — the first woman to play Major League Baseball. The FOX cast includes Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Ali Larter, Mark Consuelos, Dan Lauria, Mo McRae, Meagan Holder, and Tim Jo.
During an interview, with Entertainment Weekly, Falls was asked about a potential wrap-up. Check it out:
Are you able to tape any sort to epilogue?
That’s come up recently. We didn’t shoot an alternative ending to our season, that’s how confident we were that we were coming back. When Dan Fogelman gets back from directing his movie, Rick Singer and I will huddle with him and talk about it. But it has to make creative sense, not to mention whether Fox would ever pay for it and whether the actors would agree to do it. This would be unprecedented, which immediately makes it a long shot.What’s next for you?
I’m going to build a time machine, convince Fox to move Pitch to midseason 2017 and then go back to 2007 and convince NBC to un-cancel the time travel show, Journeyman.
What do you think? Were you a fan of the Pitch TV series? Would you watch a follow-up movie on FOX? Let us know, below.
I’m very disappointed that “Pitch” was cancelled. I looked forward to watching it every week. If it will not be picked up by another station, I would like to watch a final wrap-up episode.
FOX ought to renew “Pitch” but if refusing to pick up LMS and canceling APB if this is the best they can do it’s more than ABC is giving LMS!
Definitely. It us a shame that network executives cancelled such a great show without giving it at least another season to build a following. I question the intelligence of these people
Already missing the show as it was one of the best in 2016, will watch
Hope pitch Gets another shot was great show very entertaining!
absolutely, it’s disappointing it got cancelled.
It was well written, no matter how far fetched a female major leaguer might seem to some. In real life, there was a female goaltender in the NHL for a few games.
As for Journeyman, if the EP builds that time machine, that was another great show prematurely cancelled and I would definitely watch that as well.
Though the concept of a woman in the big leagues is far fetched to some, I thought the writing and acting made it interesting and believable. Any sensationalism of such an event was downplayed and concentrated on relationships and inner workings of a professional team. There was so much more that could have happened, it is sad we will not see what that might be.
Please cancel their goodbye too.
This show needs to be picked up on another network! It’s a fun show and who doesn’t love a baseball show?!
Nobody is picking this show up. Goodbye Pitch.
I wish another network would pick this show up! My entire family watched it and loved it. So sad FOX decided to cancel it.
Love this show, would love to see a good bye for this show, I miss it.
I just rewatched all the episodes and I would love it if they did a wrap-up movie. There can never be enough Ginny Baker in TV world!
I think: boring, move-on.
