The Sandlot franchise[1][2] consists of American coming-of-age sport-comedy installments including one theatrical film, and two straight-to-home video sequel films. The plot centers around preadolescent baseball fans, and their comedic adventures growing up as neighborhood friends. The first film was met with mixed-to-positive critical reception, while it was a financial success. Spawning a franchise, it has since been revered as a cult classic movie.[3][4][5]
The franchise will continue with a prequel film, and a legacy sequel television series in development. The prequel is intended to be a theatrical release, while the sequel series will be released via streaming service as an exclusive on Disney+.
