One of the original Rockford Peaches is joining the lineup of Amazon Studios A League of Their Own reboot series .

Appearing on the Everything Iconic with Danny Pellegrino podcast last week, Rosie ODonnell confirmed plans to appear on the show in a guest role.

Im playing a bartender in one of the scenes at the local gay bar, she explained. Im shooting it in the upcoming months.

ODonnell made her feature film debut in the original A League of Their Own, which was released in 1992 and is regarded as a modern classic. The comedy chronicled the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, which was founded in 1943, and starred Geena Davis, Tom Hanks and Madonna.

The series reboot will be co-created by Abbi Jacobson of Broad City and is billed as a reinterpretation of the original film that takes a deeper look at race and sexuality, according to Entertainment Weekly . In addition to Jacobson, the confirmed cast includes Chant Adams, DArcy Carden, Gbemisola Ikumelo and Nick Offerman.

An Amazon representative did not immediately respond to HuffPosts request for comment on ODonnells involvement in the new series.
