The Shy Ones by Lynn Hall5/13/2023 ![]() And unlike the movie, this series reportedly doesn't shy away from depicting some of the women as non-heterosexual. Aside from Jacobson, other stars include Chanté Adams, D'Arcy Carden, Roberta Colindrez, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Kelly McCormack, Priscilla Delgado, and Nick Offerman. Created for Amazon and written by Will Graham and Abbi Jacobson (who also stars), this series is more of a re-imagining than the first series, with none of the original movie's characters being used. The second TV adaptation was first announced in 2018 but (because of a long delay partly caused by the COVID-19 pandemic) not set to premiere until late 2022. Several of the behind-the-scenes personnel were the same (the movie's screenwriters, Babaloo Mandel and Lowell Ganz, were producers, and the movie's director, Penny Marshall, was one of the directors) but all the other roles were recast (Sam McMurray played the Tom Hanks role Carey Lowell and Christine Elise took the Geena Davis and Lori Petty roles, respectively). ![]() The first try was a 1993 CBS sitcom featuring Megan Cavanagh (Marla Hooch) and Tracy Reiner (Betty "Spaghetti" Horn), reprising the roles they played in the movie.
