One of 2021's most underrated Disney+ Original series was
So my phone broke back in December so keeping my ear to the ground for news has become a bit harder (I should have a new one by the end of March). However, I now have a Team Jennifer discord server and @thegoodmurphy pointed me towards this article last weekend.
Anyway, I don’t know much about “What’s On Disney Plus”. I know it is a fan run site looking at news regarding Disney+. It also shows in the news section of Google search, so it has me tempted to believe it is a legit source of news.
The key paragraph in this article regarding Season 2 is this;
“In season two of “Big Shot,” Marvyn Korn (Stamos) returns to Westbrook with a new fire, ready to show that his girls basketball team belongs in D-2 and that he’s still the championship-winning, powerhouse coach he was in the NCAA. Marvyn’s latest plan toward relevance is to get his team broadcast on ESPN, and his method is to recruit an unlikely player: Ava (Echeagaray), a gutsy beach volleyball phenom whose public tantrum got her ousted from her own sport. Between losing their assistant coach Holly Barrett (Gilsig) to a rival school, new friction amongst teammates, a sudden and unexpected proximity to boys, and off-the-court disasters that no one could’ve predicted, this season, the Westbrook Sirens have even more to prove.”
This firstly seems to indicate that Holly does take on the role of Head Coach she was offered at Carlsbad. Given how the team has reacted to Coach Korn’s attempts to leave the team in the past, I can imagine this is going to create some tension already. That being said, Westbrook as a school doesn’t seem to appreciate Holly’s talents especially when they rejected Coach Korn’s proposal for her to be Head Coach if he had left. It seems that whether Korn is there or not, Holly is going to be stuck in a dead end position with no possibility of progression and I hope the girls in time will come to understand that.
Coach Korn attempting to recruit Ava, looks like it is going to be a bad move. He previously tried recruitment in Season 1 which upset the girls, as he is once again saying to them “You aren’t enough.” While Korn has shown a lot of growth in Season 1 even eventually turning down his chance to become a college basketball coach again, I think he definitely is going to be pushing harder to keep his relevance now. And Korn does seem to get blinded by his ambition so it is easy to see how he could fall back into this attempt at recruiting from outside the team/school. That could in itself create new friction amongst the team.
Let’s no forget where this particular blog started, I definitely feel like Giggles and Carolyn’s story has a ways to go yet and I definitely can see tension emerging between those two once more. Not to mention this is high school and the other girls are sure to have their own drama.
The sudden unexpected proximity to boys intrigues me though. I wonder if Westbrook is going to be moving towards becoming a co-ed school in Season 2.
And as for the unexpected off-the-court disaster, well that is too wide a scope for me to have any theories as of yet.
Anyway, @thegoodmurphy follows a lot of the crew on Twitter and tags me in posts every now and then. From what we can gather they are in the midst of filming Season 2 so as more news comes along, I guess we’ll keep you posted 😊
