We already know that Netflix will be doubling its original content in 2016, with one of those new titles including a comedy about relationships created by Judd Apatow.
Known for developing TV series like Girls and Freaks and Geeks, and movies like Bridesmaids, Get Him to the Greek and Trainwreck, Apatow has joined forces with Paul Rust and Lesley Arfin to write the new Netflix original series, called Love. Apatow will also serve as executive producer alongside Brent Forrester (The Office, The Simpsons).
The romantic comedy series will follow the story of two people who are polar opposites who fall in love. Rust (Inglorious Basterds, I Love You, Beth Cooper) will play the male lead, Gus, who is best described as a nice guy, with actress Gillian Jacobs (Community, Hot Tub Time Machine 2) playing the female lead, Mickey, who is his wild counterpart. The series will explore the rollercoaster of emotions people face in relationships, including humiliation regarding intimacy and commitment.
Now, Netflix has revealed the series will be released on Feb. 19, 2016 in a new teaser trailer.
The teaser doesn't give away much about what Netflix subscribers can expect, and doesn't even show the lead stars in their roles. Instead, the teaser features a montage of phrases in red that flash on the black background, including "eat gluten again," "fix breath issue" and "stop Googling him."
The first season of Love will feature 10 episodes, and Netflix is already on board for a 12-episode second season that will debut in 2017.
Check out the Love teaser trailer below.
