"Beer, lesbians, and baseball." Say less. I'm already in!View Entire Post ›
As a proud Canadian, there are some things I am genuinely TICKLED that we can claim as our own. And Heated Rivalry is one of them. Knowing it was filmed here...by a Canadian team...for a Canadian streaming platform...well, it has me kicking my feet with giddy pride. At this point, I'm so obsessed that I'd straight-up vote to have Ilya and Shane on the next five-dollar bill, but I digress.
So when I heard that the same Canadian streaming platform, Crave, has another LGBTQ+ sports series titled Slo Pitch set to hit the screens soon, I immediately put it on my to-watch list. Even though the tagline beer, lesbians, and baseball is enough to get me in the door, let me tell you all that I know...
Based on a web series, Slo Pitch will consist of 10 half-hour episodes and follow an underdog softball team as it chases beer-league glory — in the classic Office-style mockumentary format. At the heart of it are the Brovaries, a losing softball team determined to move up in the league, led by a coach (Jess Salgueiro) navigating both championship dreams and the awkward fallout of being dumped by the team's co-founder, who is now competing against them.
So if you've been waiting for a sapphic sibling to Heated Rivalry from the same Canadian network, go ahead and mark your calendars for…September 25. And watch the trailer here.
It will (obviously) be available in Canada on Crave, and while there's no confirmed U.S. streaming home yet, fans online are hopeful that HBO will scoop it up just as quickly as they did Heated Rivalry. We'll keep you posted.
And honestly, it's not just me that's hyped. Here's what fans are saying:
So mark your calendars. This fall is gonna be a great time for television. Are you gonna check out Slo Pitch in September? Tell me in the comments.
