Overview
- Renna and partner Kyle Howard announced the series through their Hambino Media banner, and many original Sandlot actors are slated to appear alongside Danielle Fishel in a recurring role.
- All characters in Dugout Dads are original creations and not continuations of the 1993 film’s roles, even though the show reunites several of the same performers.
- The writers attached are Sebastian Jones and Dan Kopelman, Victor Nelli Jr. is directing, and Victoria Fradkin is producing with Renna and Howard.
- The premise follows Renna as an idealistic dad who volunteers to coach his child’s Little League team and finds the adults — coaches, parents and himself — cause the most chaos, a concept Renna says draws on his own coaching experience.
- Dugout Dads is slated to premiere later in 2026; Hambino Media, founded in 2025 and named after Renna’s Sandlot persona, is developing the show and has not yet disclosed a distributor or specific release date.
