In the last year, Netflix has gone from being simply a distribution powerhouse to being a production powerhouse as well, bringing in a star-studded roster of content from the likes of Sofia Coppola, Christopher Guest, and Danny Tanner.
Judd Apatow has been in on the Netflix train for a while now, as he’s attached as a producer of the upcoming Pee-wee Herman movie (Pee-wee’s Big Holiday) set to come out in March. Just ahead of that release, a different Apatow project—the television series Love—will debut in late February.
Created by Apatow and Paul Rust (who is notably also a co-writer of Pee-wee’s Big Holiday), the series follows Gus (played by Rust), who falls for Mickey (played by Gillian Jacobs), and the dysfunctional dance of modern day dating that follows. This is Apatow’s first television series since Undeclared was unfairly given the quick axe by Fox back in 2002.
Below, you can check out a quick lil’ teaser for the new show.
Season one of Love is out February 19 on Netflix.
